Same thing happened to me!

Lowering my PH and adding a good fart fan in the ceiling to keep my temps down did the trick to fix.

That chart above posted by somebody else explains the nutrient lockout that occurs with a higher PH. I was old school and thought 6.2 to 6.8 was good for hyrdo....NOT! Keep a hint of orange in that tester of yours and don't over fertilize, should see excellent response from your babies in less then a week.

Watch the new growth for new signs of problems and when you get sick of seeing the ugly stuff, just cut it off. Makes it much easier to keep track of any new occurrences in the garden.

A TDS tester is a good investment! The type of water you are using could cause you some issues as well. I started with pure distilled water and had some calcium deficiencies early on. Now I use artesian well water. (My well water is way too hard)

Buying real air pumps will make a huge difference too, aquarium pumps are for the weak and timid....exactly what your plants will be with poor bubbles.

Good luck with the ladies!

i dont buy expensive hand held and constant monitor PH meters. i use the vial and solution stuff too. keep the testing solution out of direct light during storage and it should stay accurate. i get in "normal" room light (not next to a HPS bulb lit up for example), and make my reservoir water a yellow/lime green color which is supposed to be around 5.8-6.2. i use either Sunleaves Brand test kit, or General Hydroponics. i use the same type systems as you, homemade DWC systems. and i have had no PH problems. i suggest trial and error and experiencing the learning curve of ph problems before you go out spending $75+ on a meter. they are great for large gardens but if your just growing a few for you, i wouldnt waste my money. some of them have parts that need replaced and u need calibration solutions to keep the accurate and stuff. www.wormsway.com Or www.discount-hydro are good places to buy kits and testing solution from. im pretty sure DH sells quart size bottles of just the testing solution u can use with your own dropper.

Thats it, if it works, DONT try n FIX it!!!

Theres an example!!! :Wink: :jj:

If your PH is Pretty Stable, and youve had no PH issues really, then DONT Fix what aint Broke my good man! No NEED at all!

I personally use the same shit nowadays, when i do grow, and those Solution Type Testers (3 drops of solution to your testing PH FEED!?) is fairly accurate for me also.:thumbs-up: Ive never had a PH issue since i DIDNT have the any PH measurers!!

Peace n WORD to that FACT!

Grow-on,

Your plants are looking very BUSHY n well kept by the looks of it. You seem to have it wayyyy more dialed in now alltogether!

Keep it up,

Grow on as you do, your doing fine brotha!
