Money, relax man. I visit your post everyday and it seems to me that your situation is very similar to someone watching and waiting for water to boil. You are not going to get results instantly. Your bottom leaves are the ones that were part of the original Ph and overnute problem. They, the bottom leaves, are not going to transform into good looking leaves....they will die and fall off. You have nice new growth and focus on that.
Keep your ph at 5.8, add cal mag into your nutrient solution and let them grow. Just remember to start slowly even if you feel that its not enough nutes. You'll thank me in a few months.

Ok so day 20 the new growth is looking nice n perky the older leaves are a little droopy but showing a little improvement.....im gonna leave just the ph water in there untill monday.....its been pretty stable at 5.8-6.0.....postin some pictures of my root growth on two of my plants 4 out of 5 has about the same amount of roots 1 of them has really short roots im sure you can tell which plant it is..... i was wondering if i should clip the yellow 1st true set of leaves or should i leave them on as they will fall off themselves?

Just make sure you go easy on the nutes and work it up slowly.

Ok I changed the res again added more nuets.....a little under about 1/2 the full amount.....these plants are growing but man they are really slow.....i cant figure out what the problem is they should be taking advantage of these nutes but show no sign of it yet....my ph level is fine no root rot the light is as close as it can be without burning the leaves.....humidity is at about 60% and seen it at 70% yesterday, air circulation is good....i just dont understand why they havnt took off by now......anybody got an idea?:wall:

Poor poor babies, you should be still useing phd water only. It would be a good idea to use some peroxide in the water also to get rid of what is happening to the roots. just my two cents. good luck.

sorry for not posting shit lately but anyway.............So after waisting about a month due to ph problems i finally decided to buy a real ph meter (2 days ago) and i was using the solution kind of ph meter and compared to my digital meter the difference between the two were way off! man its so much more worth buying the digital meter cause it gives you the most accurate reading.....why i say that because the way my plants look tell me:weed: .....now i think i back on track and hopfully i wont run into any more major problems...I have a PH question for anyone who would answer.....ok now should i keep my ph level at 5.8 at all times or should i let it slowly kreep up because i heard certain nutes the plant gets more of at certain ph levels and if this is true what is the highest ph level should i let it get too and also when it reaches that highest ph level how do i bring it back down slowly as in .2 -.5 a day untill it reaches 5.8 again or should i just drop it down to 5.8 when it reavhes that ph high......or should i just keep it at 5.8 at all times.......I will post pics of the plants tomarrow so stay tuned......any help on that question would be nice....:hump:

Congrats on buying a better Ph meter but didnt we already go through this ph level earlier in the thread? Get it to 5.8 ASAP and leave it there. Here is a chart for you to help you figure it out.

Ok cool thanks boneman for the response.....i know i was suppost to keep it at 5.8 thats what ive been doing i just heard that u should let it fluctuate....but i kept it at 5.8 so they look good now.....here are some pictures....oh 1 more thing on most of my plants there more of a darker green on the insde of the leaves and a lighter green around the edges of the leaves....i was looking up plant problems and i couldnt find anything for it the closest thing i found was possible heat stress but idk maybe im a little to paranoid......
