it looks like you have nutrient lockouts

do you test the runoff water pH when you water?

is the6.2 -6.6 pH before or after you add nutrients?

if possible raising your humidity would do a tremendous help with keeping your mite population lower, 30% will make them thrive

I will try putting a bowl of water in the room again and No I have not tested the run off and that is the Ph reading after I add nutrients.

a wet towel in front of a fan will do a lot more than a bowl of water, but if you do that make sure to replace and wash the towel often so it doesn't get musty or worse

i would test the runoff water's pH to see if its close to 6.5

what concentration/dose are you mixing your nutrients with water?

it doesn't matter,

i would wait until the next time you water to test the runoff, and not water them again since they were just watered

do you lift the containers they are in to see how heavy or light they are?

yes they were completely dry today and I pulled them out and they had very nice root growth. The bottle recommends 2-3 tsp grow and 1 tbl trinity for every gallon. I put about 1/4 tsp grow to a half gallon a few and 1/2 tsp trinity to half a gallon

ps Thanks for helping

This is what I use to test the water from general hydroponics. Is this a good one? and can the ph up and ph down go bad after sitting on the shelf a while? and do I need to buy a tester for checking the soil ph?
