Also, I'll be sure not to use transparent containers anymore

Howdy Ampersand,

You're welcome ! Would you do me a favor,and let me/us know,what they tell ya at overgrow ? Btw,I went to the swimming pool care section at WalMart to git my ph test strips and I also got me a Brita water pitcher to filter the water with and bring down the ph and chlorine,as well as the tds(total dissolved solids). Pur water pitchers,don't lower the ph,so don't go for one of those.

I find,that by starting your plants in a 16 or 20 oz, picnic plastic disposable cups,solid colors,that you can save alot on potting soil and overall expense,by finding out which plants are good first,before transplanting them into at least a 3 gallon pot-if not a 5 gallon pot. You want the plants to have enough room for their roots-so that they don't become root-bound.

Have a good one...Torog
Torog Reviewed by Torog on . browning tips Howdy peeps, anyone help me out with this? I just noticed today that one of my plants is browning...the two bottom leaves are almost a copper colour, yet the four leaves on top are very green in comparisson. At first I thought it was because I spilled some soil on top of them when I transplanted, but it you look very closely, the top green leaves are showing little specks of brown on their tips :confused: anyone have an idea what's causing this? Could it be a deficiency of some sort, because I Rating: 5
