Thank you everyone for the information! The soil I have is a miracle grow potting mix 14-14-14. I've been using a 20-20-20 fertilizer and diluting it to 50% the dosage. I ran a flush and def notice a chemical smell to the water coming out. The flush finished with a nice neutral water running through it
I also purchased some epsom salt and added that in. I mixed a half teaspoon with a quart of water and only added a little from that to the plants. Is this an ok mixture? As for the ph I will find out tomorrow and post it when I purchase a ph tester. Thanks again for helping!
