Thanks,
I will go pick up some dolomite lime in the morning. I have epsom salt here but if you recommend that I will get it.
How much dolomite per gallon??

I would add epsom salt cause you already have it. is your soil dry? can you use it now?

No I watered a bit earlier today. I have been trying to cut down on the watering a bit so I didn't give them as much as usual.
How much epsom salt. 1 tablespoon per gallon???

a 1/4 tblspn per gallon...you do though, also need to get your temps in check...they arent helping.

Thanks - how often do I feed them that and
also you asked about the soil being dry - can I go ahead an water them again say in the morning.

I dunno...depends on your watering schedule. water again with it when it needs to be watered...dont over water your plant to fix this issue. as far as giving it epsom salt only do it when you have to...just give it some good nutes and you should be okay

you are right... over watering.. my plants are doing the same thing and i noticed i changed my watering schedule

I thought I would update to the problem I had 2 weeks ago,
Well it wasn't magnesium and I think it was Potassium. Too much of it really.
The only thing I changed was the dirt after years of doing exactly the same thing. So I went and read the packaging on Promix and right on he bag it said to watch Phosphorus as to not use more then 10 - 20 ppm. Well I use 20 all the time in the veg stage.
So I decided to do the work and change the soil after 3 1/2 weeks in Veg. I dumped the soil and washed the roots and replanted. I was scared as they had really good root systems already.
But I am glad I did. It has been a week now and I only have lost 5% of the crop. Awesome, and they already look way better. Had to keep them only on 1 light for the week to help them along after major surgery and they are under regular light now and doing good. I am old school when it comes to feeding as it has worked for me for a long time and by changing I think the new stuff is set up for a lot of the newer liquid foods that are out now. High tech stuff.
But that is what it was - the dirt.
To anyone else - don't change the way you do things if they are doing good. They are or can be a temper mental plant.

Also I wanted to ask. On the few that died I noticed that the leaves got really shiny and then they started to die. Anyone know what that was?
Thanks
