SO SOME OF MY PLANTS STARTED TO CURL. MY PH WAS LOW IN THE BEGINNING AND NOW ITS ON 6.3. , USED SOME LIME TO STABLE IT OUT. I WAS USING HANNAH DIGITAL PH METER IN THE SOIL UNTIL I GET A SOIL PH METER SINCE THIS ONE IS FOR RUN OFF LIQUID.SOME ADVICE WOULD HELP. THANKS
P.S I SEEN ONE OR TWO GNATS CHILLEN AROUND. YOU THINK I SHOULD PUT THE PEST STRIP FOR 2 DAYS AND TAKE IT OFF BEFORE THEY ALL START ?

honestyl your straing looks like afghanica which the leaves look exactly like that.. as long as your ph on the run off water is around 6.5 your good. The bugs hate them get some pyrethrum or neem oil stir up the top of the soil 1/4 deep and spray just soil thats where gnats live they dont actually live on the plant. And also make sure your water temp is about 60-65 degrees you want to keep your roots cool. gnats can be caused by either not a great soil or root fungus..
 
it looks like your ph might be off a little but other than that the look good, iwould transplant into some regular lowes or home depot potting soil, mg sucks, also the curcling upward is from one of two things, sometimes its natural plants just tend to curl themselves up and get close up to the light, 2 it could be heat, but usually the tips curl very slimly first thing whole leaf starts curling ,they look fine to me, like i said, change the soil i think youll be fine either way though. gl
 
I did that couple of days ago with the neem. Before my last light watering which 2 days ago. My soil hasen't got dry and it was like 9-10 days. I mixed the soil in perlite and i have each pot sitting on a 2x4 with extra holes on bottom pot. . The ones i posted in the picture are blackberry and widows.
 
KNIGHT. DON'T GET ME WRONG THEY ARE COMING OUT BEAUTIFUL. I JUST GOT WORRIED ABOUT EITHER THE PH OR THE HEAT. I ACTUALLY CHANGED MY EXHAUSTS AND ADDED ANOTHER FAN TO PULL OUT MORE AIR. ITS A BITCH WITH THIS HEAT UNDER MH bulbs lol. I WISH MY SOIL GOT DRIED UP QUICKER SO I CAN CONTROL THE PH LEVEL MORE OFTEN.
P.S I JUST TRANSPLANTED THEM 2 WEEKS AGO IN TO THESE POTS. I DONT WANNA DRIVE THEM CRAZY AND STRESS THEM... ILL JUST LET THEM PICK UP SLOWLY BL SLOWLY. THANKS FOR THE INFO
 
yea like i said they should be fine buddy, just dont go crazy with the fertilizer when it does comes time because mg is already packed full of bs you already dont need, give them a light mix of grow micro bloom and maybe a flower additive dont go wild ya know
 
to all i noticed my plant held water alot longer after spraying haevily with neems oil, im in coco with coco pot and botanicare trays with drains the neems really seems to cause the coco or soil to hold moister longer.
 
i gotchyA, when i fed it last i gave it a little bit of bloom and grow big FF fert and mixed it in the water with dolomite lime to even the waters ph. i am gonna purchase me some ph up and down tomorrow when i get a chance.
 
cant see ph prob but theyre starting to show signs of root probs. Ease back on waterings.
 
so should i stop watering them for like 2 weeks until i see that their thirsty. will that even everything back out ?
 
what should i do if this is starting to become a root problem... i feel like my soil is holding water pretty long and this is after mixing with perlite etc. what should i do since i am in a big pot already. even if i wanted to transplant how do i go doing that from such a big pot?
