Your plant is a patient, AND a teacher. You must be a Dr. AND a student. You can do it. Good luck.

You know I just purchased a ph tester myself. And wa surprised it had to be calibrated.

You need to get a Ph buffer solution to calibrate. The cheapest one I found was here http://www.aquacave.com/ph-701-buffe...20-ml-621.html

Hope it helps, and glad to hear that your plants are doing well

Not sure if vinegar and baking soda produce CO2, but I know that sugar water and yeast do.

There is a thread here about DIY CO2 Home Made Co2 Tutorial

I wouldn't add epson salt either, I don't think it is necessary, and really have no experience with it.

vinegar and baking soda will NOT make co2. sugar and yeast will. you can put a small amount a sugar and dry yeast on a two liter bottle shake it up. The first time you shake it, not much happens, but after a bit the yeast starts to feed on the sugar and the by-product is co2. Just shake it up a few times a day and each time a bit of c02 will be released. It wont do too much for you at all unless you do it in a small confined space. if you just do it in a room.....ehh....sugar and yeast are not free lol , but in a grow box, tent, somthing enclosed like that the co2 helps alot.
Vinegar is an acid source PH- baking soda is alkaline PH+ But baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) aslo contains SALT so you dont really wanna go there.
Epsom salt is a magnesium source, as well as a source of calcium. MJ does require a good amount of magnesium which is why it is commonly used by growers. But if it aint broke dont fix it. ONly use it if you NEED to, if you have a mag def.
Boiling your water is a waste of time and energy. Unless you are condensing and collecting the steam. then you'd have distilled water. Just let it sit out for 3 days to evap the chlorine or put an airstone in it. if you can cleanly collect rainwater and use that its ideal.

cool thanks i will try the co2 thing and i think i will wait on the epsom salt i guess i want to do more. i think i would be better off just leaving my plants alone and let them do their thing. i really thankful on all the imput it's helping alot and i don't know where i got the vingar bakingsoda thing i am a pothead and sometimes i get confused i know i used to put that stuff together in a volcano at school for a science pro. maybe i was having a flashback lol

LOL yeah man...you're learning. Its all good.
QUOTE- "i think i would be better off just leaving my plants alone and let them do their thing." This as a lesson everyone has to learn. And the sooner the better! Your on the right track, keep that train chuggin.
For future reference (and future refer! LOL) a good way to be ABLE to just let the plant do its thing, is to give it a real nice BIG pot in which to do it!
