perhaps she now needs a good feed? i was watching a grow dvd yest and apparently in soil if ph is to low it blocks out nitrogen uptake which u may have although im not to good on diagnosing stuff, optimol ph for soil is 7 i belive?

soil murphy multi, temps between 19&26, 2x600w hps grolux(not to close) ph is under 7, tap water is always 7 and left at least 24hrs, only had a cpl feeds biobiz grow/bloom/max i have not used before went a bit to steady i think as their mixing guide seems alot ,ventiation xpel air 2x 1 for intake 1 for out runs 24/7, 2x desk fan one just under hight of lights on timer,other on plants 24/7, they have been in flower since 6th april, i think its under ferted but i thought i had over done it and flushed her with pure water, only gave her water since and was getting worse by day, i think i have caused more problems by flushing her with just water, last night i flushed her with bat guano tea hope this will pick her up, the other plant not as bad i have not flushed her yet with the guano tea want to see if the bad one picks up first.

Are these two plants close to your intake fan and is that air cold? Do you water before lights off with your intake fan blowing hard on them?A sharp drop in temps will lock out the nutes and water will sit in the soil so it might be better to repot into something slightly bigger pot wise with fresh soil as well.

its all been down to a faulty ph meter my soil ph is 8.5 which is way to high, was reading 7 on meter

Maybe it's that you've been messing around with the pH in the first place that's led to your troubles - pre-mixed composts are inherently self-buffering, and you shouldn't really need to mess around with the pH at all.

i have never messed with ph up to now i have not had too, if my soil meter had been working i would have noticed the sudden rise in ph, i also have regens on their 3rd veg and they are showing they are not happy so i am putting the biobizz back in the cupboard out with the canna and phostrogen have used that and had very good results, think i should read up on organics bit more and try with a few of my plants on next grow(already started).
