6. What is the Ph of your nutrient solution?
5.8 going in
7. What is the PPM/EC of your tap water?
150ish, but use RO water diluted with 15% tap water
8. What is the PPM/EC of your nutrient solution?
Last watering (today) was 850ppm (8ml of each bottle plus calmag), but the last week or two she was spitting up and not eating, so the waterings were about 350ppm during that time, and the pH would drop crazily and come out around 5.0, even when she was eating. Two days ago she was been flushed a shit load and then fed the 850ppm previously mentioned/
9. What is the temperature of your nutrient solution?
high 60s probably
10. Does your PPM/EC show a rise or fall when you do your daily PPM check?
just started to drop
11. Does your pH show a rise or fall when you do your daily check?
slight fall
12. Do you foliar feed or spray your plants with anything?
it has 5 "hotshot no pest" strips hanging around it, and has been sprayed with numerous miticides numerous times.
13. What kind of lights do you use and how many watts combined? (HPS, MH, fluorescent, halogen, incandescent "plant lights")

15. What size is your grow space in square feet?
16. What is the temperature and humidity in your grow space?
70ish degrees with 60-70% humidity
17. Have you noticed any insect activity in your grow space?
oh god.
Besides what wasn't in the list, I sprayed with epsom salts a few days ago, 1/2tsp/quart, and have been dealing with mites since i realized their presense 3 months ago. Shes looked this bad once before but snapped out of it. I'm not sure if the excessive amount of pest strips are causing whackiness in her.
so i figured she was nutrient deprived from having 350ppm for weeks-- so she was flushed and given 850ppm hoping that the runoff will be lower than that next watering.
I'm not sure if i should add more calmag, been using 1tsp per gal every other watering.
I'll take better pictures shortly and post them
thank you so much for looking
((shes getting pressure washed in that picture (to try to knock any mitage off))
