![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Your plants are drinking up more water then using nutes. Take your ppm/ec down to about 600 and go up from there. Already noted your ph needs to be below 6, adjust it to 5.8.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | you're plants can't use the phophorous you're adding to the mix right now, they only use that in flower. phosphorous is very acidic, and essentially PH down. I use phosphoric acid for ph down in flowering. (12/12) the plants won't take that up, and combined with the non buffering RO water, that is in my opinion the direct cause of your PH dropping so low. with 18/6 you should only be giving grow nutrients. ![]() ![]() happy growing | ||

![]() | ahhh...gentlemen... Thank you sirs! You all deserve a pat on the back! I applaud you! So I did everything you guys suggested. My PH has been locked @ 5.8 and ppm was set to 550 and has been dropping as of today. My lil'ns are green and perky the ladies seem to be back on track and I'm starting to see new growth again. I have a question. I hear a lot about stunted growth from stress. Is the term "stunted" used generally, no growth at all or are we talking about height? What are things I should be looking for? If I do experience a slow paced increase in height what can be done to correct this? Thanks again fellas! ![]() | ||
