I use most available. Wally world to Absopure. A couple bucks per large container. And the jugs are re usable if you don't punch the vent hole in them.
Whats that on my leafs?

Check it once you open it...I usually see somewhere in the 6.0-6.3 range right out of the bottle. I buy the same brand each time...they can all vary though depending on their bottling practices. After distillation the water is a 7 but drops due to absorbing carbon dioxide from the air.
Sounds good....I might go with the walmart brand
I see....so 6.5-7 is a good range correct
Thanks for the advice Dank and Michi
Does the ppm have to be below 100 for it to be squared away?

I have no regard for PPM. I feed with distilled water and I water with a mix of tap and filtered tap water to 15-20% runoff.
I think I'll switch it up and let it drink all of its water that way theirs not so much salt build up
How often do you water your plants?

I water when the top two inches of my soil gets dry. Which is every 2-3 days right now. 1/3 of their water gets dumped in the saucer that is holding the 2 gal fabric pot. 20-30min later I slowly water the other 2/3 in from the top.
It is pretty much the same process for feeding and watering except when I am just watering I dump another equivalent volume of that initial 1/3 (the amount I put in the saucer at first) through my soil and discard whatever comes out
Update on my issue...after giving it compost tea PhD at 6.5 run off at 6.2.....seems like its recovering....lights were brought down to 50% and humidity raised to 70 percent temp was 80°... @Dank Bongula

Hard to see improvement I'd compare by pictures over every week. then again pictures are hard to judge minor differences. If YOU see not getting worse and slight better looking happy healthy plants continue. My deal is to really hon in watering on 5-7 days and they should pop in growth. IF you start seeing any knats that reinforces the watering hon need. I don't need ph in over 8 years so I am not help there vs others. I also like guanos seabird specific. Let others help on the nut action unless you try guanos. My goal is less gardening these days more life and hobbies. again, if you see improvement start lowering lights and away if they look stressed.
I looked at it last night and before that I had raised the humidity to 80% and the temp was at about 89 so I turned off the humidifier and it sparked some good growth but obviously didnt want to wind burn the leafs I touched my soil and it was still a bit moisturized today I'm gonna flush at 6.5 ph with distilled water to remove all those excessive salts in the soil and just water till shes cured and start slowly with the nutrients till she grows and increase the strength

If you have flushed them let them be. stress them constantly adding water, nuts and flushing. When I stopped mucking with them daily they grew more. no idea why u use distilled water? I go straight tap after 2 grows but ur water may be diff?. i dare ya to leave them alone 4 days uless they are too close to light.
Their getting dry my last feeding was monday and I gave them compost tea...should I go nutes or water?

let someone else help. Monday something and today 2 days later something imo is why they look stressed. you will learn. if its soil. I don't touch mine till day 5 in 5 or 7 gallon air pots in veg. You think they are dry needing water in 48 hours is against my rules for health plants in soil. good luck
This was taken 5 min ago....I took your advice and decided not to water them till friday or saturday so they absorb all the compost tea

@Dank Bongula should I bring them closer to the light?
