The results seem accurate but not what I expected. The ffof from the bag appears to have a low ph. After testing the ff I tested my soil that cooked for 6 weeks and is being used now and it tested good, about 7.
Results for ro and distilled looked similar. The tap results were not useful. After testing the ff I tested both the ff and my soil with the kit using distilled water and got the same results. The results show up fast with the test kit. I tested my soil using the distilled water in the cup and it showed test results in 20 minutes. Might need more time to get accurate results.
The original 3 waters, tap, ro and distilled.
Using the waters above and soil, and testing with the drops,
Using the same three waters but using the test kit not the original style. Results look similar
Wanted to do a comparison using the test kit. My soil on the left. ffof used on the right.
One last test. distilled water on the left. On the right I tested my soil and distilled water mix and tested it after 20 minutes and this was the result.

The test kit results look to be about 6.5 for the ffof. The other test without the kit looks lower than 6.5 when comparing the results to the drop bottle.

Just looked at my plants, 4 are in ffof, the rest are in my soil, they seem equally happy. Not saying that means anything, just glad they are all healthy so far.

I bet its the heat from your light, put your hand at the canopy level and if it feels warm then you found the cause of the tacoing.

You didn't have the leaf problem till you upgraded to 1000W if I recall.

Thats exactly right Buba, but i have put my hand under there the lights at the top of the tent it isnt hot the hoods are air cooled, maybe its the light intensity? i wonder if i dial the light back to 600 for a few days see if it goes away only thing i can think to do.

Hey guys! I came back from vacation to find that my inlaws neglected to follow my instructions on watering my plants and only gave maybe 10% of what they needed. They were all droopy and looked like hell. I immediately watered them all and for they most part they came back fully except for my biggest one. As you can see some of the growth is perky and pointing towards the sky and other parts are still a little droopy. Could the lack of water cause damage and make them to stay like that?

to me they look magnesium hungry
id spray them
1/2 tsp Epsom salt per gallon
not sure whats creating the fan leaf drop
ive seen the same thing with a headband plant I grew
none of the others did it except the one plant
it was in a smaller pot so I thought maybe it wasn't getting enough water... but I never did identify the absolute cause
how longs it been since you've fertilized now?
did you ever get those ph readings?

No I didn't end up getting the ph readings and it's been almost 2 weeks of just water but for one of the weeks they barely got any water so I'm still giving just water. I had a lot of leaves on the bottom inside That had turned yellow and died but I'm assuming that's because they aren't getting enough light.
