so this is my second grow using there ocean forrest soil and nutes .. this time around it seems like the soil is to strong .. its maybe 80 % ff 20% perlite .. a few plants look over feed .. my last time using same soil i had good grow... i am hoping they will pull out of it .. i am just using distilled water so far ... maybe 3 weeks into grow..anyone else had same problems ?
 
I know this is a stupid question but are you using miracle grow perlite? Have you been using straight tap water?
 
no its perlite from grow shop .... and i am using distilled water as said ... its not me .. its the soil .. i dont over water .. i let them get totally dry before watering etc ..

Why, I use MG peralite? I have not noticed anything out of the ordinary,,my second time also. although I started with distlled water and now switched to spring water, cause I was thinking something was not right,,,try switching to spring water,,I adjust the pH before watering at about 5.8-6.4, been doing ok for me now.

Reason he asked is that MG brand perlite has nutes added to it.:mrgreen:
