I can't seem to get the PH right on the runoff... I flushed the crap out of them and the runoff is still 5.75%. They are growing but the first set of leaves is yellow and necrotic, the second set had crispy tips on the very end. New growth is great. Just concerned about the runoff PH. I planted them in rapid rooters on July 14th. To give an estimate of age.
