What does this mean? (pics)

yeah 5.0 PH is to low for soil. Like others said you want it at 6.5-6.8.

Also like everyone else said, lose the tinfoil, it does way more worse, then it does good.

I wanna see a picture of those girls, in a week or two, looking lucious green, and without the tinfoil = 0


Goodluck mate, keep us updated on the little girls <3

dRugged I did post all that info man....you didnt read it? Ok well 2 days ago I got rid of the foil, have been venting them more, and adjusted light level and temp, will post new pics of them tomorrow morning. Thanks fellas.

lights are to close. move it away a couple of inches until the leaves are stronge enbugh to stand up again.

cant wait to see the pictures robbie = )

What kind of soil are you using?

that one guy said:

probly should throw some protein in the soil.i throw coffe grounds in the soil.. gives good protein to the roots.. also adjust the lighting if needed

Is This True?

a ph of 5 is a little too acidic for soil plants, thats more for a hydroponic setup. you want it to be around 6

Miracle Grow African Violet, There a few days older than 2 weeks now, but have yet to add nutes, the soil has nutes in them so I guess im waiting for those balls to release.....

**UPDATE**

Fucking shit! I came home form work and my girlfriends friend who thinks shes a garden master added my nutes! She swears up and down the colors I see are from food deficiency. Fortunately the needed water but I didnt want to give them any yet since the soil has nutes in it! What happens if they get over nuted now!? Could it kill them? If they die Im gonna choke that bitch!

if she is right im gonna give her the biggest hug!....lol

Hopefully she is right, I was thinking they looked a little overnuted is why I was asking what kind of soil you were using... wait and see what happens, if they start getting worse you are going to want to flush them real good.

How many times should I flush? I will be able to tell tomorrow morning if they are over nuted my plants react to everything I do or change to them VERY quickly.....I feel so bad since I feel they are being stressed I would be so upset it they go hermie or all male!

Lemme gets some pics real quick....

Ok these 3 out of the 5 have it the wost, light yellow, to yellow, to light brown.

My biggest of the 5 seems to be ok, just has dark wrinkly green leafs. It doesn't look like there is anything wrong with it, and the last one looks picture perfect.

I've been under the impression that PH should be near 7 not 5, that sounds acidic to me. Acidic soil can lock up nutrients and make it near impossible to diagnose correctly.

Ill check the Ph when I get home....
