Hello all
I'll admit that I am not good with plants at all, I just don't have a green thumb i guess. With some seeds from friends I decided to try my hand at growing. This is my first attempt and I am running into some issues that I hope with your help I can get cleared up. I had a first batch of about 20 seeds. At first they were appearing to do quite well, after a few weeks they were all looking pretty sad. After reading here I discovered that my water here isn't the right PH for the plants. I was getting a reading of about 4-5 in the soil. (I only have a soil ph reader not one that can test water). I began using water from a friends place and some of the plants seemed to recover. However I lost 16, so I was only left with 4. I decided to pretty much start over using the friends water. The new batch is doing much better over all. The PH of the soil is now reading 6-7. However I am now seeing tiny brown dots that maybe look like a bug found them, but i have looked all over the plants and room but I can't find any bugs. Also, some lower leaves are turning yellow, in different ways.
This is an indoor grow.
The soil I am using is pictured in the album.
I added the blue fertilizer dots to the soil when they were transplanted into larger pots.
I was having issues uploading pictures to here so I have setup an Imgur album that I have hopefully shared properly.
