PURPLE Stems?
greenatik - The lime is used to increase Ph (more alkaline (Ph down more acidic)).
Now, the reason for my limey foolishness is due to the Ph stick I bought. Even after those lime applications the Ph meter never moved: I checked it after heavy water, etc. and what a load of garbage. It still says my soil is from 6.5-7.0! My model is a "Rapitest Mini Ph Tester". I think I'm going to make another thread to warn others of this potential crop killer. Errrrr..:cursing:
As for the plant itself, it shows no signs of getting better from the nutrient application - the lime must be doing it, so I'm off to re-pot the little bugger and hope for the best! My method will be to remove as much sooil as possible without touching the root ball, I hope all goes well. Thanks for the advice Stinky (you too greenatik). I had a feeling I fucked up on the liming. Regardless, I'll report back with how things are looking tomorrow. Thanks again Stinky.
