  2. Cal Mag def growmie. Green stem, browning tips and edges and light green leaves yeah she needs some Cal Mag.

    Never use MG soils, they have little green nutrient balls that release over time and nuke the plants.

  3. Lemon juice and baking soda raise alkalinity but you may want to make sure your meter is calibrated correctly. Even RO reads around 5.0.....where is your water source coming from?

  6. It's my understanding that those 3 in 1 meters are fairly useless as far as accuracy with ph. I wouldn't trust it personally.
