Hey thanks for the responses! If I'd have known, I'd replied quicker. To answer q's. My ph wasn't incredibly off...and it does settle, but it is always waiting like weedhound mentioned. In the above pic if you look at the bottom of the jug, you can see that the is orange 'settled'. I have a water softner, but the water shown in the pic is from my outside spigout (sp?), directly from well. My softner just adds salt, so I don't use that water. Do you have to use cal-mag supplements with R/O water? What about ph'd spring water?

Now, to tell you why I am now using gloves to touch my plants.....grr.....there was some BIG BRIGHT RED WASP/ANT in there! That sucker looked like it could have killed me! It's stinger was as big as it's butt! I am in the north, so I don't know how the heck I got this thing in there...probably from the soil?????? I'm terrified, as you can tell. I wish that I got a pic of it....I still have the heebeegeebee's....

Well since I made you all look, I'll share some photos of 35 days. Or is it 36? I accicentally super cropped Cee-cee from my string being too tight. I repotted Isabella, she's in the white container (remember she is three weeks older than the others). Ava looks all weird and twisted, but you can't tell in the pic. I think it is caused by the heat. Bea looks GREAT! Excuse the orange looking shower, we've discussed why it looks that way, lol. Enjoy the photos, and if anyone knows what that ant looking thing was, let me know. I did a search, and all I found was the cow killer wasp...but this creature I saw was not hairy so I don't if that was it or not. Happy tokin!
