Thanks people, here's a picture of it about 2 weeks ago the plant was situated where the plant on the middle left is here's a more up to date photo I moved this plant to the back left corner a few days ago, the temp in there is 26-27C or 80-81F. The plant is the same seed as the rest (that...

thanks man, i'll get on that tonight.

the only ph test kit i could get is for testing water, bought it anyway, is this any use? i guess every aquarium ph kit is going to be for water though. how does this get me the ph of my soil?

I'm going to stop adding the nutes to the water for a while (I think the leaves are looking slightly dark so I probably should right?) and i'm picking up a proper pH testing kit today. First time grower so forgive when I ask what action do I take to correct the pH if it is too high or too low...

it's a little contraption that you stick a rod down into the soil and then a line on it's face moves slowly to whatever it makes your pH to be

Thanks for sorting out the photo's BG, I was trying to use the recommended method but I had to download something for my mac that looked slightly complicated and I thought it would be ok to just use photobucket. I'll get it for next time. Anyway it's 27C or 81F.

The small sick plant I posted about a couple weeks ago has gotten a lot bigger but not too much better as the pictures of the leaves I posted were so bad and blurry nobody could really make a diagnosis. So please find attached a few better snaps of this sick plant of mine. Wrinkled/shrivelled...

Right ToA, got busy on that tonight, one thing I found was I couldn't really do it, or at least feel the squich on the lowest part of the stem, only from where the leaves started. felt i was putting on too much pressure on and didn't want to damage the plants. it's not likely i damaged them...

pH reader that I stick into the soil, checked every one and each was between 6.5-7. thanks for the advice, had never heard of stretching- i'll get pinching, how many times should i pinch these?

i can assure you it is a part of a leaf, here's the full set up, i wouldn't waste your time like that mate. note some of these smaller ones are skunk not snow white as they belong to a friend of mine.

yeah they're all snow white, the plant looks very good apart from this. i'll just sit tight then, she'll hopefully be ok and she'll hopefully be a she! thanks for your time.

yeah 5 or 6 inches or 5/6", 5/6' would be feet ;) or am i crazy? this is my first grow so thank you all for the help and try and bear with me as some of my knowledge is pretty limited. the leaves were some of the bigger ones near the top. the plant is about a month old and is a seed. the leaves...

i have these three http://secure.hydroponics-ireland.com/store/index.php?cPath=46_3_35 ive been only using Bio Grow though until last night i added some top max cos that was the only one with Iron, Zinc and Manganese and i thought that could be the problem from what i read in my growers bible...

Lyfr- yeah sorry i know the pics are terrible, some yellowy brown coloring on the shriveled half of the leaves HIE- i'll stop pulling the leaves, thanks. thought i should get rid of sickly ones. i threw the few leaves out so i can't redo the photos, i'll see if anymore emerge. is overwatering a...

Snapped thse on my phone so I know the pictures aren't the best but I had about 3 leaves like this with half of them withered or curled up on a young plant about 5/6" tall. I just pulled them off. PH of the soil is fine (about 6.8). Referenced a book and it said that the curled leaves could be a...

I went with John Innes no 2 which contains (according to link in my original post) 7 Loam 3 Peat 2 Sand whatever those numbers mean... not exactly a bag of gold so I take it i'll need to add to this mix?

thanks a lot for all the suggestions, got me started nicely. planting a few more little seedlings and wondering should I add perlite and vermiculite now or wait until I transplant? any ratio I should adhere to?

thanks guys, i'm in Ireland so i'm not sure if promix is available here. i'll have a look at it's content anyway and see if I can muster something up :D

Hi, i'm brand new to this forum and to growing, had a (quick) look around but couldn't see anything about what John Innes soils to use from germination right through. I'm going to go with John Innes of some description cos that's all they have in my local gardening centre. I was wondering if...
