hey all, need help bad... my plants started out fantastic with 100% germ in Jiffy pellets but when i planted them into potting mix the bottom leaves start going yellow (looks like nit def) then some start getting dark spots (thought was mg) other leaves are a lil twisted. Im pretty certain its mixed ph in the one medium (have tried other fixes), the run off from the potting mix is about 7 or 7.2 but when i tested the Jiffy by itself the run off is below 6.4, so im thinking ive got a ph of 7 for most of my container but the medium at the core of the roots is very acidic.
I also noticed that when i added ph adjusted water (6.6) the plant i gave it to looked like it had just sucked a lemon ,im thinking its now very acidic at the core.
now does this sound right, then how can i fix or should i go have another billy and think again.
im going to test one of the seedlings by washing all the JIFFY OUT OF ITS ROOTS AND PUTTING IT IN STRAIGHT POTTING MIX
cheers
