what exactly is live culture and where can I find it?..and as far as the ph being high, your right obviously lol..my ph from the pet store is not good enough, I guess my nutes keep bringing up the ph or somthing. I am going to buy a good ph up/down online and take it from there. I will keep updating my pictures etc..and hopefully they will improve. Below are new growth pics

the leaves seem green but the tips are yellow and have alittle browning and curling on them..

I realized my whole problem was not being prepared to begin with sadly . I have now learned from my mistake
