Leaves drying up / twisting / slow growth!

any chance this could be something else other than pH? I tested the water and the runoff and theyre both ~6.5. I thought this was where it should be?

And those leaves on the bottom keep getting worse. Within a few hours actually.

Gol DARN those new-fangled things like ph and penicillin! What happened to the good old days??

If its not your ph (and it seems not to be) then overfert would be my next guess (it was actually my first guess) but it ALWAYS pays to monitor your ph.

PS....Penicillin is good too.

Lastly....don't pee on your plants. Sure you can....but it's kind of frowned on now that they invented real fertilizer.

When using Pro-Mix you can get rid of the PH testers. Pro-Mix is PH stable with 2 limes added. Now if you start putting additives in the soil like blood meal etc, you can end up with issues.

Dude everyone puts additives in the soil. They're called nutrients. It's a multi- million dollar industry.

People want to be helped and you've helped no one. People do not want to be strong-armed into doing things your way, so fuck off.

i went to the hydro store today to pick up a few things. a carbon scrubber, new pH kit (delta - even if your claims are true, i wont be using pro-mix forever), and some micro-nutes.

i was gonna get some more pro-mix but i didnt see BX or HP. just regular pro-mix. is this the same? comes in an orange bag i think. i can get more in 2 days and ill transplant then.

I'd flush your plants as soon as you can......the longer your roots sit in overnute the harder it will be to fix them later.

And.....keep an eye on your ph.
