That is what i thought it was too..but me being such a newb i wanted someone else's input..thanks man...hey one more quetion...can cal-mag be bought locally at like lowes or home depot?? I really dont want to order anything else off the internet, so if it cant be bought in stores is there anything else i can use instead of cal-mag? btw: i am using RO water...thanks~

yeah try giving fish stuff every third watering, and try only a little bit of that epsom salt, i use a 1/4 tsp for every pint and i add a half a pint every week which is like what every 4-5 waterings and it works good.

hey seedless how old are your plants? is it all your plants or just certain ones?
i fed my plants that alaska fish emulsion stuff, in very small amounts, and it turned them all a pale yellow/green, and killed some of my leaf's..
i just gave them some epsom salt last watering, we'll see if it does anything..
keep thread update man, really want to see what they end up doing..

PEACE!
