Yes Stinky, I read that a while back very informative. That is when I started checking runoff. My plants were having problems and apparently my ph testing was also. Now the plant itself has a healthy appearence, but as stated before, in flower for 7 days and only have grown 2". Hence the new ph test strips to discover my tap water over 8. Once I get it under control with ph down, do you think my plants will start their stretch? thanks again
