Seedling Problem

[Rusty Trichome]

Depends a lot on the buffering available in the soil, but 7.0 isn't bad at all. And since it likely wasn't a ph issue, you might want to re-think your watering quantities and schedule to prevent overwatering.

Does your water smell like chlorine?

I don't have a means of checking Ph
and I'm on a tight budget.. just spent the lasts of it on cfls ...
going to have to wait a while.
Maybe can someone supply me with a trustworthy online site where I can get ph testers for a cheap price?..that ship to Canada

walmart, aquarium section, kit with ph up/down and test drops/color chart. its not the best, however it will keep you on track. believe me i know about budgets you should see where i work...ba hahahahahah:wtf: im too poor to be the grower i could be and too good to be satisfied with the grower i am. oh wait your in canada? do you have a walmart there? or a major "we sell everything" outlet? might even check into aquarium supply stores. test pens are pricey, and the last thing this world needs is wealthy grow snobs telling us poor folk how to do it the silver spoon way:thumbsup:

Till you can get the cash for a ph pen, I'd go get a freshwater aquarium ph test kit. They run about $7.00 or so at most pet centers.

Might also be from overwatering.

yeah, agree with overwatering. seedlings tend to be forgiving on ph but only to a point. might as well get used to it now though. ph is now a part of his life.

The phdown sold for aquariums is not made for plants. I made the same mistake before I was told not to use it. If there is a hydro shop in your area, they will have it. If not, there are many places online to order it and it is no more expensive that the aquarium stuff. I am also on a very tight budget so if I kill my plants, the investment for lights, fans, electricity are all for naught... not to mention not having any meds.

I had to make a two hour round trip to acquire the right stuff. But, in light of the potential consequences, I felt it was a good investment in time and effort. Best of luck!
