The 2x2 Saga

Unfortunately, I did not take a whole lot more pictures on this week. I was still pretty bummed on how bad her leaves were looking and had shifted my attention on a new grow....which was having the same issues that this one did with the leaves getting wrecked by deficiencies. Turns out, through process of elimination and some redneck science.... My plants were experiencing nutrient lockout do to alkaline soil. I did not have a soil pH pen, so I had to test with baking soda and vinegar. If you're ever stuck without a pH pen and you need to test your soil, take a bit of soil and put it in a glass. Next take some distilled vinegar and pour it on your soil sample and if you hear sizzling....your soil is alkaline. If you hear nothing its acidic. You can do the same with baking soda, but you will need to dampen the soil sample with a bit of distilled water, then sprinkle some baking soda and listen.
