white widow still not smelling

rite man thanks for your help they have been like that for over a week but a freind kept sayin they will be fine but i knew summit was up,, ama bit nervious about flushing for the first time is there anything tht could possibly go wrong while i do this and and should i check the ph levels of the water that i am using to flush them with yes? all this ph and tht takes a bit of gettin used to espscially when my other 3 laughing buddhas are perfect plant beautiful,, wat did u say my ph levels should be again ?

I'm willing to bet your tap water is already close to what it needs to be. If it was way off your plants would have died within days of sprouting. 6.5 is the best ph for soil. Flushing should really not be out of the ordinary for you. This gets me thinking about what you said about moving them to the bathtub before. Do you have a lot of water run out of your pots every time you water? I would set up something to handle this drainage in your flower room so you don't have to move giant plants. I would be nervous about that too. But you are supposed to have a good amount of water run out of your pots every time you water. If you haven't been doing this than that is your problem guaranteed. Your rootzone is salty and stagnant.

And no, flushing will never harm a plant

i have a fair amount of run of it doesnt fill my trays at the bottom though,,, i guess i could try and get a biger bucket to sit them on top of to flush them or something along them lines i guess? so i shouldnt worry to much about testing my ph levels in my tap water they seem fine every over plants are good just these widows ,,, should i use a drop of tht safe water soultion when flushing just to be on the safer side ? these widows are towering over the others i ned to prop the others up i think ,, how many times do i need to flush ?

Ph in the tap water can change day to day. I would test it to be sure. You can use the safe water drops when you flush. If you flush it properly - get at least 2 gallons(8 liters) runoff per pot - then you should only have to do it once.

sweet man uve been so much help thank you i will go and get a ph testing kit on my way bk round to work the day hopefully they will have one instock if not am sure it will be fine cheers dude is there anyway i could add u to a freinds list or something for future refference?

And maybe just a bit of reassurance is in order because I know flushing is a lot of effort to go to. I see this downward curling leaves problem quite frequently on this forum. EVERY time the person properly flushes their pot the leaves flatten out. Flushing is a good practice to do even if you don't have a problem. It is good for the plants. Don't be nervous.
