back again! well i just ordered a digital PH tester, i know i know i should have gotten one of those packet testers but the price of them here is crazy and it worked out a LOT cheaper in the long run to get a digital one. im hoping it will arrive tomorrow so i can run a test on it. if i am still not sure about the results the i will take a water sample up to the aquarium and get a freeeeeee test

ive flushed all of my plants with 4 - 5 times the pot size of clean fresh water directly from the tap. although i dont know the PH yet it has to be better than leaving all that excess food in there.

BTW i did forget to mention that i was also feeding them general tomato feed as well. for some reason it did wonders with my first grow and gave me 2ft long buds (seen in my avatar) but i think a lot of the probs this time was mainly crap soil and the other stuff i added durring flowering but time will tell
since i have flushed them (2 days ago) they have grown even more in height and they stink a LOT more but i think the moisture from the pots is contributing to that. the air in the tent sure feels moist and there is no way to stop that appart from wait until most of it has evaporated. this soil does hold water a little too much. i'll post back with my PH results as soon as i get them
