Tap water.....From a town well. PH generally around 7.5-7.8. but haven't ph'd in last 2 grows.
It could be the medium’s ph buffers are starting to wane since plant is deep into growth. A simple workaround would be to begin to PH that well water to 6.7 as your 7.8 is a bit more alkaline. That alone would skew uptake of some elements .
Will give that a try starting next watering tomorrow. Thanks for the advice. And I put a bag of epson salt on my grocery order tomorrow, just in case.
Looks to me like the plant is taking on it's fall colours. Gonna have some purple.Ph'd my last 2 waterings down to roughly 6.8. I did add a tbsp of epsom to the watering before last. The rust spots have seemed to stop, and dont seen any new spots on leaves so far. So hopefully that is taken care of. Now, wondering about this.... Is this darkness something to be worried about. It has only started since the epsom salt watering. This plant is throwing me for all kinds of loops. Thanks in advance for any help.
Yeah, thats what im hoping. Just a pheno color change. I had a heck of a time getting anything to grow when i started. Last 2 runs, went pretty smoothly. This one not so much. But tbh, its the biggest thing ive grown so far, so I want it to succeed.Looks to me like the plant is taking on it's fall colours. Gonna have some purple.
Thanks!
