Okay, so I watered her today since i transplanted yesterday, and didn't get any overflow yesterday when i watered
I put 1 gallon of 3ml of each nutrient pH'd to 6.2 today
The runoff was 1100ppm and 6.8pH.
I think its all the perlite dust causing the ppm to raise, and maybe the vermiculite causing the pH to rise? The runoff water was dusty white like perlite dust was in it
After seeing the runoff over 1000ppm, *another* gallon of nutrients went in, this time 1ml of each nutrient to a gallon and pH 6.0
After that gallon was dumped in, the runoff is 750ppm and pH about 6.3-6.5
Next time I'll be sure to rinse the perlite very well before putting a plant in it.
The mom plant today doesn't look any better or worse than it did yesterday, and I'm still at a loss of what to do
