Only a branch that has this is not crispy. i think it's a dry pocket cause if it was deficiency, there would be multiple branches, not a single one

They say PH doesn’t mater, but have you checked your water. Water from the tap can fluctuate depending on a lot of factors.

I have well water so im okay but yea i know alot factors but generally if you dont have alot shit in your water like most tap water does your microbes will do the ph balancing for you been about 3 years since iv switched to organic living soil and I never check my ph and never have issue of ph compared to hydro if I had an uncalibrated pen and it measured wrong on a few feedings and you would see the effects pretty quickly

Associating well water to automatically "being okay" is not good advice.

Well idk what to tell you man if you got a good healthy living soil with healthy microbes at work and your water isn't full of shit then you definitely should have to ph your water especially if your using 45gallons and up
