haha, ok i understand. I know aquasafe nutralises copper, zinc and lead. Maybe this is why i am having issues? Also is it correct that our plants need chlorine anyway?

Also around here, our water is very hard
try and figure out the Ph of your water...and go from there...6.7 - 7.3 is excellent...:thumbsup:
put your water in the container you usually use but leave the cap off and if their is any cholrine it will gas off by letting yur water sit for at least 24hours....hard water...SM90...3 ml/gal.....or 4 liters in your world....it is good for the root system and will help soften the water!Quote:

I think i am going to ditch the aquasafe, just use water that is warmed to room temp, and just leave it for 24 hours, i have a bucket sitting next to me now warming up for watering tomorrow, shall i still add epsom salts or leave this now to see if it was the aquasafe? Also how long does a plant take to show signs? Ie, if i add epsom salts, and if my water is now right how long will the plant take to show its getting better? Also i mist the plants day and night, and this has also been with aquasafe so i am thinking maybe to stop this or do it now with water from the tap that has been sitting there for a while
epsom salt will help bring the PH of the soil down a little...so yes do it put it on but use sparingly....no more than a a tsp per pot:thumbsup:
it is important to keep you PH in check..if out of the 6.2-6.6 (for soil)range she has food in the soil but cannot take it in if the Ph is out....like being a fat man starving at the all you can eat deli and his mouth is taped shut!:hippy:
Thanks guys, il let you know how iit goes over the next few days
Hi again,
Well i decided to get some epsom salts, becuase i had only watered the day before and they wont need watering for another few days i decided to folair feed. I got 1 gal of water and added half a teaspoon of epson salts to it and stired well. I then filled up my spray gun, it only holds 1 litre and then sprayed a fine mist over the plants, prob only like 200ml was actually used.
Next day there was some burning on the outer edges of the leaves, and i cant really see if it has worked to be honest. maybe i didnt do enough? See pics of the burning.
The yellow tips on new growth is much worse.
Not sure whats going on really? Ph is about 6.8
