These 2 Chronic were planted along with 7 others 28 days ago. 1 plant looked like these and I banished it outside to the Florida sun where it's new growth is clean and green but it is stretching like mad. These two were inside with the other 6. The other 6 were planted in Foxfarm planting mix and are growing like mad. These were planted in regular Home Depot potting soil. I flushed them 2 days ago with about 20 gals rainwater with a final gallon of distilled each. They all are being fed with FF Grow Big under 430 Son Agro. Will repotting with different soil work or can I feed with something else to fix this? The plant that moved outside was also in the Home Depot crap. This is my first grow by the way. Original post is Veggin Chronic in the soil forum Thanks

BTW, the feeding was 1/4 strength; 1/2 then full strength in 6.5 distilled water. The others are eating it up big time. Thanks.

Why are you useing distilled water for plants growing in soil?

To me this looks like a Calcium def... you are gonna wanna get a CAL in Liquid form (organic)... Plagron makes one that is great

I'm on a well that has a ph over 10. Even the rainwater is over 8.0. Distilled is 6.5 out of the jug and .59/gal. Thanks for checking in Growdoc.

Drop that PH down to 5.8-6.3 and you will see improvement... You may use natural vinegar or lime juice to bring down PH in water, my 2 cents...

You also might wanna get some benifical bacteria you can find it at pet shops that sell fish.

In order to achieve the magic ph us soil users need, what can i add to my distilled water grows? lime juice, doc? is that it? and how much per/gal? thanks so much. I've NEVER noticed any kind of issues using FF OF soil in conjunction with distilled water... but i'd rather be safe than sorry, 'cuz you never know!! is all distilled water at ~6.5? appreciate it...
