It doesn't really quite look like the pictures I'm seeing of iron deficiency, but I did notice that the older fan leaves are a deep emerald green, whereas the newer growth is noticeably more yellow (but turns greener as it matures), so I'll keep that in mind. Would vinegar work as well to balance PH? It looks like I can just add a tablespoon to 3-4 liters of water and it should work out to around 6.0 ph. But would that have some other negative effects on plants? The internet just says "vinegar will kill plants" but the first google results aren't really distinguishing between undiluted 5% vinegar and heavily diluted vinegar.
Alternatively I'm thinking I can start pouring dilute leftover coffee since I usually have some leftover every day and theoretically that'd both lower the PH and be a source of nitrogen. I don't wanna have to buy limes and stuff, lol
I mean vinegar could work but I just don’t trust it without testing the ph. Also I don’t trust what’s in the bottle to be all vinegar. If you’re cutting any fruit, you could squeeze a some of the juice onto the soil. Just do that once a week and it should be good. But you could ultimately keep this course and see where it takes you. Because you’re really doing a good job with this plant and I’m impressed that you really went out gorilla style with this plant. But if you choose to do this more, I’d suggest lowering your ph with some kind of natural citrus. If you ever have questions, let me know.
I can’t tell but it looks like you’re having iron deficiency. Egg shells are good to put around but you’re getting what is called “nutrient lockout” because the ph in your water is high. Marijuana plants like a bit of acidity in their soil. Here’s a nice graph but the iron isn’t getting into the leaves. But I also grow like you. But I recommend putting half a lime in a water pitcher and letting the water get acidic. Don’t squeeze or nothing. But you can use lemon or lime juice from the bottle. I just don’t like it because it’s got a bunch of preservatives.
