Medium - Approximate 1/3 Worm Casting compost, 1/3 Rice Hulls, 1/3 Coco Fiber
PPM - Don't know
PH - Don't Know
RH - approx 60%

Problem: Lower leaves are all yellowing or dying - most new growth seems ok but growing what seems very slowly

I just noticed the pics are not so good under the LED - I will get some new ones with regular light ASAP

Thanks in advance!

I would have to say know your ph is very important. Even if you have to get a cheap liquid set.

Waiting on Amazon for probe but can I use a pool ph tester? Grow supplies very difficult to obtain here.......
Thx

Any ph test strips. What ever you got to get some kind of number. It may not be dead on but it will give you some kind of close numbers to go off of

I concur with CO Finest on all points but would like to add that it's hard to diagnose plant problems under LED lighting...if you could use regular lighting that would help a lot.
Welcome to the forums.

EDIT: I reread your post and see that you already mentioned that. My bad.

7.6 PH is what the meter says - not sure how accurate it is as it seems pretty beat up. Problem is SLOWLY getting worse
