Room temp:75
Humidity:47-58
Res = General Hydroponics Ecogrower
Res temp: 67-72
Water: tap water 40-60 ppm naci
Nutrients: General Hydroponics FloraMicro/FloraBloom 80/160
Res ppm: 861
Res change: every 5-8 days
Plant height: 16"-20"

These plants are now finishing week three of flowering.The last res change I scrubbed the Ecogrower clean and all other parts as well. My ph meter is having difficulties staying calibrated so although it reads the calibration fluid correctly momentarily I'm not sure weather I believe what says.

Very green and the rams horn/eagle beak makes me think too much N but the *first* thing I'd try is raising your pH to 5.8:
If that doesn't help I'd try dropping the nutrient ratio to 7/14 or 6/12 and see if that helps...

I'll give it a shot, I just noticed that one of my panels I. My ss400 has a bunch of LEDs that are not lighting up, so I just called and left a message with CLW hopefully they will respond soon. I'm sure my light is still under warranty at this point. Luckily I have my solis tek matrix digital ballast that has yet to be used. Just need to get a hood and a bulb and run the ventilation for all of it and that will be done with.

How are they looking now? Your room temp are a bit low but everything else seems OK so far...

Things are looking better, still very dark green. I started flowering these after only a two weeks of veg while they were about 8 inches tall. I'm very happy with how short they are staying nothing is over 20". I will be doing a Rez change tonight do you think I should lower the amount of nutrients?

Room temp: 68-75 canopy slightly higher I imagine
Humidity : 48-60
Rez ppm: 866
Rez temp: 68.1
Ph: 5.8

It wouldn't hurt to try a lower ratio, you can always add more if they start showing signs of deficiencies...

Ppm: 888
Rez temp: 68.2
Room temp: 68-75
Ph: 5.8

I have not added anything back yet I'd say there's about 7 gallons left but I am doing a Rez change tonight and lowering the nutes to 7/14 to see how that goes. I was thinking about buying some bonticare aqua shield has anyone ever used this product? Still have a lot of claw leaf going on with the newer growth on the flowers but it's not on all of the plants and some slight purple striping on the one different pheno that's in there. I will be using tap water again the ph out of the faucet is 6.8 and the ppm is 61.5

Do you think I should add micro to one of the 5 gallon jugs and bloom to the other and then mix in the Rez or just mix in the Rez like I have been doing?

After much deliberation with myself I came to the conclusion that I would run a flush before putting new nutes in the Rez



Rez : 10 gal tap water
Tap ph: 6.7
Tap ppm: 60
Flush additive: flora kleen 10 tsp
Ph down: 2 ml
Ppm after additives: 81


I will flush for the length of one 12 hour dark cycle then refill with new nutes at a ratio of 1:2
