You are in good hands here.
R.T. is "cogniscent of his excrement"

I'll jus' add a tad.


"Letting water sit doesn't change ph."

True dat!
But it's good to wait a bit after adding the nutes as it will take a while to stabilize.
It's also a good idea to test PH after the airstone saturates the water with air.
It does drift a bit.

Only thing I'd add, is;

Do not let your water "sit" for hours unless you have an air-stone in it to replace the air that will outgas.
Once that happens anaerobic bacteria an' all kine nasties can infest it.
More importantly, flat water will drown your roots!
You were prolly told to let it sit for the chlorine gas to dissipate.
Outdated wisdom, that.
2 things wrong with it.
Most water suppliers have switched to Chloramine to disinfect.
It is a compound and will not outgas.
Not to worry, it is not only harmless to plants, it is actually good for them because it kills slime molds and harmful bacteria.

Jus' 2 cents.

A couple problems Ok. i added a picture (its A LOT brighter than that in there i promise). the plant on the right is growing fine, no problems. however, the two to the left seem to have stunted growth, and definitely have some curly, not very sexy looking leaves. the one furthest left also has some yellow/brown cripsy edges. this is the only plant with this problem. so what can i do? I have 5 plants under three 27watt (100 watt equivalent) daylight cfl's. it sorta looks like overwatering, minus the crispiness of Rating: 5
