My plants are about a month old. I got the seeds out of some good pot I had. The new growth is pretty damn crystaly if you look close. Does this mean its gonna be a good batch of nuggs?:leaf:

I dont have any good pic of the crystals but i have a few pics of my plants. Im growing them pretty good exept my lower leaves are getting yellow and dying for some reason.

your tips are starting to curl under pretty good.... i think that is a ph problem, too high.... but don't hold me too it.... that could also be your dyig leaf problems.

hold on. Are you monitoring the water y supply with a ph meter? Digital hana ph meter is a must in this hobby imo...Things will go out of wack regularly until ph consistent....If not start that route and things will even out. I full endorse ff ocean forest soil to fix most every problem even knats and over nuting because nuts are not needed in veg with OF soil.... The only other major issue to address is watering too much that happens in every type of indoor plant.... imo

Looks like ph is out to me, if you aren't adjusting the water or nutes, then it's almost definitely that, tap water tends to be around 7-8, depending where your water comes from. You want it between 6.2-6.8 in soil. If you can't afford a proper meter, get an aquarium test kit, it's a little bottle of indicator solution and costs a couple of quid, any good pet shop should be able to sell you it. It's not ideal but should give you a rough idea of how much to adjust your feeds. Ph test the run off after you water as well, to see if there's a difference between what you're giving them and what comes out the bottom.
I don't see why anyone would spend money on Ph up/down when almost everyone has the stuff in their kitchen anyway! Lemon juice or white vinegar work fine for Ph down, just add a drop at a time then re-test until you figure out how much you need to be adding. Baking soda does Ph up, which is rarely required unless you have very acidic nutes.
