Sorry im having a bad, didn't mean to sound like I was off the wall, I guess when I put caps on its a whole other level of text, but I just was saying ro waters cheap is all, and it saves lots of problems, especially since the op is using cal mag. My bad, didn't mean to offend anyone, just pinched a nerve for some reason. Sorry.
no!....lol Thunderdome!!!

E="rsx2009, post: 10611669, member: 395015"]Yeah I think spring water is about a 6.5 ph it is just reverse osmosed once. I'll check the ph at the store thanks for the support guys. There all doing ok right now in the dark. The flush saved them for sure. So now I'll just sit back and relax until they recovered and will follow ur advice alpha and lay off the nutes for 3 watering unless a deficency shows. But thanks guys hopefully I'll

ph of your water means next to nothing in soil. the buffering capability of limed soil is many, many times greater than the potential hydrogen ion load of your water. unless you water with lemonade or baking soda soup..........

It's all done inside my mind, on the outside I'm calm and collected Lmao. Its like when I used her tweezers to scrape a water pipe slide, she seemed normal, but I could tell the rage within when she said "alpha, what is this on my tweezers?"

Good info, I am not a soil buff by any means, but when I saw calmag, I figures if he used it, ro water would be better. But that just was a theory of mine :p I dunno about adding cal mag to tap water, I would a thought itd be excessive, but I'll put the info in my memos so I remember for sure

dolomite lime mixed in with potting mix usually handles both mg and ca. an Epsom solution at first sign of mg def. and all good.

I know, I'm learning coping mechanisms and such, had an anxiety disorder for 20 years. It sucks when you look OK but inside its war. Hard to explain, but it is what it is :p

Thanks guys... Why I was so freaked out was because a day ago every single leaf was dropping down completely and the soil was dry!?!? So just goes to show what a good flush can do lol. Well what I learned from this is def need to add perlite to the next grow and be sure to flush more often than never
