I need help. I recently got these plants, watered them once, transplanted into watered roots organics the next day, THEN tested my tap waters ph. It was at 8. About a day after I transplanted I started to see little spots starting to turn a light green in between the viens on my leaves. Now their yellow spots. The upper leaves are folding up while the lowers arent. Some leaves are starting to twist.
I wanted to let the soil dry out a little before I watered with ph adjusted water as not to overwater. So I waited until last night, four days, still not as dry as it should be but I am suspecting ph lockout and wanted to get some ph adjusted water in in hopes of 'unlocking' them.
Its been progressively getting worse.
Now the leaves with the yellowing are starting to feel dry, especially the yellow parts. Which is the most concerning to me.
Thank you very much in advance.
