Hey Rangi Things didn't go well at all. All 5 that I started with have died, having gone from my complicated soil mix & fertilizing methods to your very simple and straightforward way I have started seeing some improvement. I bought a plain bag of potting soil and added some perlite to it to...

Ok, 5 days later Update.... I have reduced the watering to once every 3 days, I watered last night before lights off (07 May) which is when the soil was looking dry. Plant (1.) sadly she died, a day after your last reply i noticed the stem turning yellow, this morning (08 May) i opened the...
