first grow

Thanks for the help, they are in 3 gallon plastic pots. Started them in red solo cups. I believe I will scrap these and start over. I got a ph pen and the water is at 6.5-7, then after I put it in the soil, it goes to like 3 or 4. Sounds like soil is the issue mostly. Off to the nursery at lunch today!!!

Are you refering to those $6 soil ph probes? If so, they are notoriously inaccurate.

You can't make a sow's ear from a silk purse. (or whatever the saying is...) Get the best potting soil you can afford for your growroom. Most commercial brands are ready for use, trouble-free, and buffered to maintain healthy growth. Cheap mixes are hit-n-miss for both content and quality. Most need ammending, which makes them more expensive than the commercial mixes.

I trashed two of the plants and repotted the best one in fox farms on sept 14. After one week I have seen more growth out of it than the first month. Look at her now!!!!!!
