How to Stop Nutrient Deficiencies by Nebula Haze |

If you're already using quality cannabis-friendly nutrients, the most common reason growers see
nutrient deficiencies in their plants is... because the pH at the roots is not right! Adjusting pH takes less than 5 minutes, and your plants will reward you. Think of it like a supplement to make your cannabis grow faster and healthier! Intro: How Does the PH Stop Cannabis Nutrient Deficiencies? PH is the measure of how “acidic” or “alkaline” something is, on a 1-14 scale, and tells you the concentration of hydrogen in a sample. A pH of "7" is considered neutral. Pure water has a pH of about 7. You can measure the pH of a water
sample using special pH test drops or a digital pH pen, like the one shown here on the right, but why is pH important to cannabis growers?
Cannabis plants like a slightly acidic root environment. Otherwise they start running into leaf problems.
In the wild, cannabis plants tend to do best in soil with a pH of around 6-7, which is slightly acidic. Proper pH at the roots helps plants get
access to the nutrients they need. If the pH at the roots is too high (or too low), the plant roots have a hard time absorbing nutrients, which can result in yellow leaves, spots, curling and all kinds of odd symptoms. In fact, incorrect pH at the roots is the most common reason growers get cannabis nutrient
deficiencies!
Paying Attention to pH Gives You Healthy Leaves! Some growers get lucky and grow cannabis successfully without having to worry about pH. Perhaps they had just the right soil, and happened to have just the right water to create the perfect pH environment for the plant roots. If your
plant is growing perfectly, without any signs of nutrient deficiencies, than managing the pH might not be something you're concerned about.
Unfortunately, many growers aren’t so lucky and their setup naturally has a pH that is too high or too low for optimum cannabis growth. While there are ways of getting around testing pH for your cannabis grow, nearly all growers will do better by paying attention to pH. If something is going wrong and
you don't know why, the pH is the first thing to check! What’s Are the Benefits of Regularly Checking PH?
By maintaining the right pH...
- plants are less likely to suffer leaf problems or nutrient deficiencies
- without nutrient problems, cannabis plants can grow faster and produce bigger yields
- occasionally growers
are alerted to possible issues before they become a problem; for example if you determine the pH is too high or too low, you can fix it before your leaves start suffering from deficiencies
The main thing to remember is that maintaining the right pH at the cannabis roots helps the plant absorb nutrients. Why is that?
Nutrients take different forms (on a chemical level) depending on
the pH around them. Some forms are easier for the roots to absorb than others. When the pH is too high or too low, the plant can show signs of a nutrient deficiencies even when the nutrients are physically there at the roots.
With pH, you’re helping plants get access to all the nutrients all the time. While pH is important for all grows, it is most important for growers using cannabis nutrients. The way that liquid nutrients are formulated,
they are highly available to plant roots, but only in the right pH range. What's the Right pH?
- Soil - 6.0-7.0 pH
- Hydro/Soilless/Coco - 5.5-6.5 pH
As a result of the pH being too high or too low, cannabis plants may start showing signs of nutrient deficiencies even if the nutrients are available in the growing medium.
Once you get the
hang of maintaining the pH, it's a breeze and will take you only seconds. And after you have your grow dialed in, you may not even need to check pH as often because you know what to expect, but...
If you see leaf problems, check the pH ASAP!

"Growing cannabis can be a relaxing hobby in and of itself, but it also saves you money and keeps you from having to deal with shady characters. Cannabis is much easier to grow than people give it credit for, and growing in water
doesn't increase the difficulty much, if any. But whether you want to grow in water, coco, or a different medium, we'll show you how easy it can be!"
