I wouldn't add anything until I know what I have. It looks to me like they need nitrogen. You can actually buy a soil test kit and they work you should try it. The Walmart by my house had one.

This is what's inside my soil... if my runoff is 1440 ppm I wouldn't think I need anything other than a flush. I know what I would do in a hydro setup but kinda clueless when it comes to soil.

None of that matters. A simple soil test done correctly will tell you a lot more.

Don't fall prey to all this marketing junk you can accomplish the same thing without blowing all your money. Sure some of it is great and you should use it but I would recommend sticking to the basics.

I am not familiar with that kit from Lowe's but it looks like the same thing test your NPK and soil pH. Make sure you use distilled water for your pH test.

If you want to improve your water quality simply put it in a reservoir like say a plastic trash can and use air pump and stones.

I never use straight tap water on my plants. I always at least let it run overnight with the bubblers on. I will use the same setup to make compost tea. And then clean out the reservoir and put straight water back in doing compost about once a week.

Yeah I let mine set for at least 10 minutes without disturbing it. To be honest 7 is not that bad when you are talking soil.
