Hey guys so I am noticing that from the start of growth (they are only maybe an inch and a half tall) the stem has been purple. upon reading the forums and searching the internet i think i came to the conclusion that I have a phosphorus deficiency.

Reading on further it said i should get a pH tester and test my pH levels, then use nutes to adjust the levels.
NOW, heres the problem. pH testers cost about 10 bucks, and nutes will cost X amount more, I currently am broke.

I read that the pH def. will cause a stunt in the growth, and could possibly be why they are kinda going slow, Any ideas for a poor bastard? will i be fine? Or should i sucker up and drop like 25 dollars to get these going green?
