Okay, where do I start? This has been going on for a couple of days, but since my unfortunate incarceration, I was unable to post.

Okay, I had some yellowing leaves, so I gave the ladies a light dose of veg ferts for one feeding. Then, I decided to quit being such a slacker, and test my runoff. My soil was reading 6.8 and 6.9. My tap water was reading 8.0. My runoff was reading 8.0! So, using lemon juice for lack of a better product, I pHed my water down to 6.8, and flushed Lily with 12 gallons. She tanked within hours. I'm afraid she's not going to make it.

I didn't flush Pat, but she did get watered with the pHed water. She doesn't look as bad as Lily, but she's not looking real hot either.

Here's the kicker. My soil readings are still 6.8-6.9

So I bought a different pH kit. Taking a reading from the original kit, and one from the new one, I get two different results from my runoff. One says it's high, in the 8 range. The other says it's low, in the 5 range.

I am about ready to blow. I swear, when I was just giving them plain tap water, and only using my metered probe to test soil only, they were doing fine. Now they are the travesties you see here.

I'll be posting this in plant problems too. And I swear if that one mod comes in there and scolds me like these fucking plants are the Holy Grail, and I'm abusing the Baby Jesus, I'll quit and take my entertaining erudite self somewhere else.

I'm frustrated.
