  1. I got some yellowing of the leaves goin on. Not sure why. Here's a pic.

    Not sure if it's a PH issue. I've jsut been using distilled water that I bought and poured into a sprayer a week ago and that's what I've been using. Everywhere I've read the PH of distilled water is 7, which is alright from what I've read.

    Also, I picked up a soil PH tester to uh...test the PH of the soil. I'm using Fox Farm Ocean Forest Here's what I'm getting from that after a watering.

    I don't know if it's overwatering/underwatering cuz I basically just give it some water like, every third day maybe. It's a smallish cup and as you can see, there's not a whole lot of soil in it, and I have drain holes with a fan blowing on them so the water dries up pretty quick. I don't want to water it more in case overwatering is the problem to begin with. Anyone have any ideas? Is it time to transplant and start using a little bit of Grow Big nutes in case of some sort of deficiency?

    Fuck. This is aggravating. Thanks for your help everyone!

  3. Alrighty, so I went out and picked up a new gallon of distilled water and some epsom salt as well as a one gallon pot. It was a challenge but i got the thing transplanted. OMG did it desperately need it! All of the roots were at the bottom of the cup but none were poking out or anything so I didn't know. I did not expect them to be as long as they were.

    I mixed up 1/2 teaspoon of Epsom Salt in the gallon jug of water and poured it into my spray bottle and got the soil good and wet after I got her in there. Hopefully in a few days she will show some improvement :)
