Jay Brown - Growing Marijuana Indoors

Plants looking sick?

Look for pests. Check for too much or too little water in soil. Examine leaves for signs of overfertilizing and roots for yellowing or disease. Smell the roots for the pleasant odor of fresh potatoes rather than the unpleasant odor of sour soil. Check your room temperature and humidity over a 24-hour period. When in doubt about the health of your garden, always perform a soil slurry to check pH and salts/fertilizer levels.

Salts pen or pH pen not working or giving erratic readings?

Test the pen batteries and change them if required. Use fine sandpaper to clean the electronic prongs and absorbent cloth to clean the glass bubble at the bottom of the pens. Buy a fresh test solution and retest pens.
