Thanks for the help. I use distilled water because i didnt know any better, now i will use tap water . I thought that distilled or some sort of filtration was needed for water to be used. So i gave them some tap water today with no nuts in it. That should start to help right?

I will start useing tap water from now on. So its completly safe right? anything to worry about with tap water?

I will change the drip trays to bigger plastic ones.

What is the correct PH for the runoff? same as PH i put into it like 6.2-6.8? I will check that tonight. Thanks again for all the help, this is my first time to try soil.
