Same boat here. Talking a couple months to save a bit of cash, and I am sure something else will have to be paid in the mean time. On the plus side, when you get around to doing it you have the chance to make it better than it was before. Feckin bills man.

Wooohoooo ph pens arrived today (bought 2 this time so it doesn't happen again.) with a note saying it was opened for inspection. Also got the dehumidifier today as a new Argos catalogue is out Saturday n last time I waited the coffee bean grinders I wanted went up 8 euro. I got some good advice on the English thread last night about humidity but I have neighbours behind us that we reported to the garda when he threatened to kill my dog with a shovel so I don't want him seeing anything so I cant fit ducting near the window as we have fuvk all back gardens n before I grew n used to room as a gym id catch him creeping.

Was it a customs seal on opened package? When I order tech parts online about 2 out of 10 get checked, especially from the uk. Thanks for the Argos tip. I think they bump the prices up at the start for 30 days to make the sale discounts look good.

Took the plunge and ordered the Auto Mazar from Experts. Plan B in case the Auto Blue doesnt recover from the overwatering. Got bad lower leaf yellowing going on but it should be ok.

That's probably a nitrogen def. Have you any nutes? If not do have access to a coffee machine ? ( go to costa n ask for used coffee grounds). topdress ur pot with some or throw(metaphorically speaking) some into water n let it settle then filter it out. If it was fresh coffee ground it would be waaay 2 high in N but since its used coffee ground ur grand.I HAVENT DONE THIS MYSELF BUT HAVE READ EXCELLENT THINGS ABOUT IT.

I checked around. Yellowing can be Nit def OR overwatering. It doesnt have any of the other symptons Nit def so not so sure. The only thing that has changed is that it was defo overwatered. My plan is go with overwatering as the cause first and then try an N deficiency plan. I will try to get some pics up later but its hard to see the yellowing with my shite lighting and camera. Satuday will be week 5 of the target of 10 weeks so I think I have time to not feck it up.

The one thing I have lots of is used coffee grinds. My body has been proudly sponsored by caffeine since '87.
