ideal is 6.0, the forums state 5.5 to 6.5 so 6.4, I guess is OK... I pretty much try to once a day bring it to 6.0

so the plants did end up recovering, however they now have many dry and yellow leaves on the lower branches from the whole ordeal. my question is should i cut off whatever is dried and/or yellow, or should it just be left alone. the plants havnt really grown since the problem occured and theyr still very young with only a few sets of leaves.

I wouldn't cut anything until your ready to top. let them recover awhile..unless the damage is 100% ..even dry and yellow the still do some good... If they fall off then just discard....post some pics....

so your saying theres a chance the yellowed and dried leaves could green up again? and that if anything at all, i should just wait to see if they fall off on thier own? makes sense anyhow, i guess it would be the plant who should decide. im guessin the plant will shed the leaves on its own if its really a problem for it. thanks Mr.Natural. il put up some pics in an hour a for those whod like to take a gander.
