Give yourself a pat on the back.

Should get Stinky to post that in her noobie guidelines. Otherwise, people will make the same mistake as I did.

This is what is posted on one of the websites that sells Pro-mix.

"Promix also contains agents to stabilize the PH levels (measure of acidity) at 5.5 to 5.7 thus eliminating the problem of adjusting PH levels of the water which is crucial to indoor growing.



In other words, so long as you use Promix you do not have to understand anything about PH .. or EC or PPM. In fact all you need to know is that when the plants go dry, you need to add some food to the bucket of cold tap water and feed your plants. Fairly easy I think."

That is soooooo wrong. If you put water in there that is ph 8.0, the prom-mix stabilizing agents are going to bring it all the way down to 5.7 ????? No way.

I have a dying plant as proof, and 3 in the infirmary recuperating from spending the past 2 days in Extensive Care.
