I am useing the recepie for success kit and mixing the vegitative state formula and feeding every 3rd watering.

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

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...

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...

My leaves are turning yellow and black veins in the fan leaves. Is this from lack of nutes?

My plants are not thriving, they have yellowish leaves some turn brown and die. But the plant still grows. The fan leaves are not flatening out and getting big but the top is still sprouting new leaves. I have been feeding with a very diluted solution of food so not to burn them. Any ideas what...

I just ran a ph test on distilled water. it is running about 6.7 would this be a good alt. to the water out of the tap that runs 8.3? I do not have to fool with regulating it.

Does anyone have a video or link to a video for beginners on growing start to finish? I looked on YouTube and it is mostly people showing off their grows. If any one has a link I would appreciate it.

Is there any hope for these plants or should I just cut my losses and pull the plug.

Can someone post photos of plants that have come back from almost being lost? before and after photos? I think my plants may be going past the point of no return. the leaves are shrivling and have stopped growing. I replanted and flushed and the down turn keeps going. I am wondering if it is...

I did a flush with plane water. I did a 3 gallon flush with plane water. I have in the past done this and it always seems to get me back on track.

My leaves are still wilting and thin and feel dry. I have not watered. The soil still tests wet with meter. I did spray water on the leaves in a mist to help them from drying out. I can not see watering if soil is still showing wet. Any ideas or just keep letting it be, and water only when dry...
