Yeah it's just tap water.

Well I already know what it takes to lower the pH of my water and I cannot afford a RO unit or buying gallons of water every week.

Well it does look like pH problems, the symptoms are exactly what they say they are with pH problems. They said I can add some lemon juice per gallon of water to lower pH, I might just try that and give it a good flush with the lemon juice water, see what happens.

talk to Dank or BAK.
they can probably give you better advise than I on pH lockout issues. I have dealt with them. just stunted my Blue Thai due to pH lockout. but I brought her back as easy as clean fresh water in small amounts directly into the root ball and no flush was required. my plant is growing fast again now a week later, last week all the leaves were crisp and brown.. I wouldn't add anything personally to your water to lower the pH because you can cause more problems when lowering too much at one time. pH is supposed to be adjusted gradually.. But that's just me. talk to and listen to them or another skilled grower.. They'll help you out.

Thinking it's from the "AACT brew of just worm castings"??? Yeah I didn't even think about humidity..... See ADT I said talk to a skilled grower over me!

Alright, thanks everyone for the help. The lemon juice did lower my pH of my water from 7.8 to about 6.4, but did not water them with it yet, but it is on standby. I am going to try to up the rH with the humidifier, if I still have one. And I am going to stay away from the tea brewing for now, thought I was ready but I think it might have screw it up, from what's happening.

Well I did say I wasn't going to add anything anyways yet lol, but anyways yeah I was comparing my water pH, not the runoff. So should I water just enough to get a little runoff with my normal water and see what the pH is?

I put like 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup wormcastings with 1/4 cup molasses into a gallon jug with my water, aerated for 36 hours, then water both of my plants until they felt heavy and I getting runoff.

I might just wait a few days until next watering to be safe, don't want to add insult to injury.

Yea,I do.....AACT can really mess with ph also,You can see the leafs are crumply looking even the ones with no yellowing,Screams low RH.Thinking it's from the "AACT brew of just worm castings"??? Yeah I didn't even think about humidity..... See ADT I said talk to a skilled grower over me!
Its also the only thing he has done different,as far as I know...

You think the over use of molasses would cause the problems? I think I used corn syrup or something because I didn't have molasses, I'll have to check upstairs.

Yeah it had to of been the tea, that's the only thing different I've been doing. I gave the plant a good plain watering last night, so hopefully it will turn around soon and not get worse.
