Whenever I have some plants that are looking like that, I always go for a flush. Make sure to really drench the roots to get rid of anything that might be building up and causing troubles. I agree with the others. Flush things out, water again to get the right pH, and then check out the pH once again. If things are looking good, then you might want to look at the nutes, but it seems like there's just something a little off in the uptake, not necessarily because of what you're using for nutes. So maybe you need to flush a few more times to get the pH back to 5.5? What do others think? Peace - | ||
