well i just got a cheap ph level test kit for $7.00 the one where you add a little water or soil and then a few drops of some chemical and then match the color and i got the two bottles to raise and lower the ph levels i hope i got the right stuff i heard alot of people talking about the ph levels but never really thought it was so important so now i guess i will see the difference for my self thanks for the kick in the ass to get that stuff

That liquid test works good, i have one too. But, if you try to test something that isn't clear, the tinted liquid will throw off the color, giving you an inaccurate reading. I only use it to test clear water. The PH is so critical, because if it isn't in the desirable rage, the plants starve for nutrients, because they can only absorb them if the PH is correct. Incorrect PH will cause 'nutrient lock', which will eventually kill your plants. And, if the PH is too far out, it'll burn the leaves, and mutate the new growth. It really is critical that it's within specs. I can't stress that enough. :)

yes you need to keep your ph 5.5-7.5.
but you don't have to worry about hitting the same every time.

what is ur feed water ph? check this first. dont get too hung up on it. stop giving it nutes, its too young, especially if ur using miracle grow( i use it, every cunt bitches on it but its ok if u dont screw around with it). flush, leave for a couple of days and just do the normal watch. dont get over protective, worse thing happens it dies and u start again.

1. go get some promix or other low/no nutrient soil .

2.repot the little guyz in four inch pots or cups or something one in each pot.

3. water with plain water as needed not bone dry but not mud......NO nutrients until they recover like two weeks or so...

4. MOST IMPORTANT THING I CAN TELL YOU SO LISTEN UP....... GO BUY THE INDOOR OUTDOOR MEDICAL GROWERS BIBLE. MARIJUANA HORTICULTURE by JORGE CERVANTES

5. read this book cover to cover while you wait for your plants to recover..trust me you will thank me ....its like $20 Barnes and nobles........ follow the directions

6.let plants grow in 4 inch until roots start to poke out the bottom .... upgrade into 1-3 gallon pots fresh promix... maybe start adding nutrients at half strength. grow them in veg for a couple of weeks to a month .......add nutrients as needed ... take it easy more is not better....after they get nice and bushy put them on 12/12 and bud them out or top them down to four main branches .... use the tops to make clones .. grow them for another month then flip lights on use what you learn in the "bible"grow some killer bud...

also your temp is to hot and dont blow the fan right on the plants ... babies are fragile.... wind burn, heat stroke, nutrient burn ...all fatal mistakes for little guys


read the book

good luck
