    HELP! Some yellow leaves and bug bites?

    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.

    It looks like you may be lacking calcium. Do you have access to any cal mag?

      Thanks for the response, I'll look around here for some. I'm not sure if this is available where I am, if I an not able to get any, are there any home remedies?

        Wash and then boil 12 egg shells in 1 gallon of (I used RO) water, strain and top up to 1 gallon, add 1 Tablespoon Epson salt, stir until dissolved (may take a while). Most all public water systems have this in the water, give them a call.
