slight yellow tips
The tips of the first leaves are very slightly yellow. I may have had my light too close. It was 14 inches and moved it to 18 inches now. I did water a second big pot and came up with the same results. Since the ph kit I have requires a visual chart comparison for reading, I am don't want to rule out user error yet. I would conceed that it may be possible the results could be read as high as 5.5. Either way, before I add ph up to my tap water I want to rule out the cause being from my light. The plan is as follows: Wait and watch for 3 or 4 days. If the leaves improve and yellowing dissapates, then the light must have been the cause. If it doesn't improve, I will add ph up to my water in diluted form and only try to up ph slowly over several waterings, which will probably take several weeks. What do you think? Any other ideas ppl?
