The problem started two weeks ago after I realized the soil pH of my Mental Floss was 3.2
I flushed it until it was back to 6.0 and the necrosis slowed down for a while.
Now, it's back in full force after I flushed the plant with mineral oil because I had 10 gnats flying around the plant.
The flush did kill all the gnats but now, the plant is dying at a rapid pace and i don't know what to do.
I tried flushing, correcting the pH, feeding and I even tried molasses.
Nothing works.
The worst part is, the exact same thing happened on my first grow and I ended up chopping the plant early because of it.
What do you guys think is going on here ?
What should I do to fix this or at the very least, slow down the issue for 2-3 weeks ?
