Ph pens ‍

Not a question but a PSA. Don't always put all your trust in your pH pen. Mine was reading just over 7. So I lowered it just a bit, but some plants kept getting worse. Checked with pH drops and it was over 8.5 lmao. Damn near killed 2 of my ladies.

Pls don't die on me overnight. Watered tonight, giving me that same look before another plant died overnight. That slight wiltFuck. She's looking like the last plant, same strain/likely same mother plant, I had right before it died overnight. Maybe just a bit overwatered. Last time I gave it too much fertilizer. This time I have kept notes. I'm a little scared to sleep. Pls don't die on me

Apparently the leaves are pretty good to have in your diet.. wondering if anyone has regularly eaten them as in a salad for a period of time and felt they added a good value to diet?

New Light? Find a way to raise light? More Fans? Combination? (Light: 44" above ground level | Tent Height: 63" Day avg: 78.6f) Should i worry?What do you guys recommend as far as lighting for this tent? I have a 300w led light but at the height it's currently at it is producing a large amount of heat with my exhaust and two oscillating fans? I also have other plants in with my seedling so could the humidity cause it?

Question about pH.My soil pH is 7 right now. Every single plant. I am adding pH down and watering with it. My question is, if you have had to lower your pH in say 5/10 gallon smart pots, how long did it take to correct the pH levels?
