I had some spider mite larva moving around on all plants so I sprayed 1 tsp dawn dishsoap/ 1 quart water. Apparently it was too concentrated because I burned my plants. Should I just throw them out now? They're 2 months old. There is new leaves but they are stunted and shriveled. I have some bag...

My circuit box is jammed full of old ass shit. Apparently because most of the electrical work in this house is copper..if someone was to upgrade the circuit box(to a larger one) they'd have to rewire the whole house because of the copper wiring... Don't entirely know if that's true or not but...

20 Nitrogen-20 Phosphorus-20 Potassium is what I meant by 20-20-20. Soil-less mix is peat moss potting soil, with almost no nutes in there, I mixed in some vermiculite for more air. According to this troubleshooting page it may be N, or over under nuting. I do water every 4-5 days when the soil...

... I had to add twice as much nutes as the container calls for to get the ppm up to 850..is that what i should be doing? twice as much seems like it will definitely be over nuted no?

I heard 300 may be too low but even if i add full strength nutes the ppm goes from 290-340... why doesn't it go up at all? do i just keep adding nutes cuz im over the recommended amount then..whats the best way to raise ppm without over-nuting? maybe my meter is garbage? it was $15 from china on...

So I've had yellow leaves since about week 2, I figured the ph problem out quickly and I may have been over nute'ing i flushed for 10 days but i just cant stop these brown/yellow leaves! I have ppm~300 all the time no chlorine ph of water about 6.7(keep it higher because the soiless mix always...

4x2600 lumen cfls "DAYLIGHT" That should be enough for a 2.5'x3' room right? Thanks!

Ok so I rinsed them, should this yellowness go away or are these leaves dead now? should I be using 1/4 or 1/2 strength with them this short? How tall do they need to be to use full strength? Is 20-20-20 the right or something else? I heard I may need cal/mag supplement when I am using...
