I am most likely going to loose my crop. But I really want to know what is going on. I have raised the two plants in one pot since dec. they are about 2 feet tall and have bounced back and forth over that time. Now they are growing but one is loosing its leave from the bottom up. when a few leaves grow on the top of the plant the bottom leaves die. The second one is not loosing its leaves the same way but the leaves are shriveled and it does not grow as fast. the other 3 plants I have one is definitely starting the same symptoms. I use distilled water and for feedings I use the recipe for success. I have let them dry out to the point of wilting before watering. The soil I have used is in the largest plant plain potting soil and repotted a month ago in organic MG soil. I used the MG organic for all the others. It looks like it is some kind of deficiency but what?

Its not the pots. One is in a 5 gal. bucket others have been repoted. I have checked the ph. I use distilled water and this may be my problem. the distilled water shows 8.2ph with my digital meter. I have started to reduce the ph to 6.9 so as not to shock the plant today and did a watering. To my untrained eye it looks like the plant is starving, could this be due to the water being to alkaline? I have not checked the distilled water thinking it was ok out of the bottle.

I just checked the run off after watering with adjusted 6.9 ph water, it was 7.4ph. Is this the culprit?

your soil is too alkaline my man flush them with nutes at low strength and water at ph of 6.0 that should help them out
