Just jam it in there furthest away from her along an edge. She’ll recover easily.

As time goes on it’s a good practice to check The weight of the pots by lifting Before & After watering will be a big help to know when you need to water. Happy growing ! :v:

It’s too early now because you’re not going to be watering that much with small plants.

Yeah true. Do you think 7-7.5 is to high of a ph to water my plants?

Don’t trust the probe as far as reading PH They are not very dependable. 6.5 Being the sweet spot for PH

Okay I’ll order some when I get paid

A pinch of citric acid will lower pH. It is around $4 in the backing aisle. It will last forever.

Best plan of action because, every plant drinks differently.
