Growing in my area is rare to hear. I have noone to get tips from and noone to look at my plabts and help. I messed up and used mg. I flushed and waited a week then watered only. Now a few plants are drooping and I havent watered in rwo days and soil is moist. I have a 4x2x3 box with 16 cfls 2 fans a temp gayge and some damp rid. I kno my ph is off but I think the damp rid is dryin my plants.idk. I have them in gallon pots about 3-4 inches away from cfl light. I just removed the damprid to see if I need more humidity. But its like every week somethin else. I just want healthy steady growin plants. Please help ssomeone

p.s. the best secret ive ever learned over 17 years of growing... is flush ur plant with 6.8 water.... enought to make it run out the bottom, test the water that is "running out the bottom of the pot, that is your true soil ph, its called testing your "run off". and what type of ph checker do you have? buy a cheep water tester and only use that, 99.9% of electric testers are bull shit and a waste of money. I usally dont tell people that but it will lift your spirits fo sho!!

1st that soil is super shitty looking. try a promix , vermiculite and perlite mix, i would get them outa that soil asap, you could knock off what ever falls off and just leave the center root ball if there is one, and put them into a smaller container, like 1/2 gal size for 4-8 inch plants. , 2nd the plants are having magnesium deficiency most likly due to low ph, 2 teaspoons epsom salt per gallon of water. after you do that wait a few days and look at new growth and see if it helps. now I see why your losing hope!! Ill try to upload pics for ya.

Thats right. If you're growing in soil you need a good base to start out in. This isn't something thats learned overnight. People are great about helping you out but the best thing you can do is help yourself by reading and learning. It isn't rocket science but you need to get down with some of the fundamentals.

Those three pics are two or three weeks old. Thats after I topped and flushed. I sent the updated pics last. Like I say I live in the middle of nowhere Alabama. I have limited money and limited resources. Im gonna try to get some organic soil. I water with Epson salt a couple days ago. I can see a little progess. I kno my soil is my main problem but I didnt know wat to do. And is it possible to take my plants out of grow box and just grow in bedroom.? I would be able to keep them alot cooler that way
