Yeah, I'm supposed to do PT for my knee, and I'm not very eager to get started on that, either.
Thank you Elite nug's. So if i wanna bring up my soil ph would i be ok mixing a teaspoon of lime with a gallon of water every other watering until my ph is 6.5 or 7? I have been reading that i need to do this slowly to avoid shock and would just like to know that i didnt get to high and totally misunderstand this..lol
I was just gonna ask about the feed/water pH. I see very slight petiole reddening, so if it's a P problem then it's mild (which is odd, leaf tip necrosis is usually one of the later stage signs).I didnt trust the PH meter i had so i went and got the cheapo drops and my PH is lower than i thought. New test is showing between 6 and 6.5 . I do have some Dolomite lime but i will wait and see what the pro's say i should do. I did flush the plant lastnight just in case i possibly overfed.

Very slightly overfed (burnt tips, nicely green), nothing to worry about at this point IMO. But, they do seem to be asking for a bit more light.
Dolomitic lime will help drive up pH and will provide CaCO3 and MgCO3, but take some care not to use too much at once. What do you have on hand that's got a good bit of phosphorous in it? Or, do you have seaweed/kelp?
For soil you want the pH to be between 6.5-6.8. Top-dress the dolomite lime and you'll be ok, it will break down a little bit with each watering/feeding.
I feel ya. I have been wanting to go organic so maybe its time to find a new nutrient line to go with.. thanks again for all the help.:)
