running half strength nutrients on this white widow. I was running it at full strength but it started to show signs of nitrogen tox so I cut everything in half. now its looking like this, any suggestions on what it may be? set up is as follows DWC 2galons water flora 3 part nutrients in this order ArmorSI-2.5ml Calmag-5ml micro- 7.5ml gro-7.5ml bloom7.5ml ph down to 6.0 ppm is about 420 right now. thanks for any help
have you checked your pH ...thats what it looks like too me ,but i think others will be able to help you a bit more than i can about pH ,,,,mac,,
thanks for the reply Mac, I really should play closer attention to my PH levels as a hydro grower. I PH the water down to 5.9 on Friday when I changed the nutrient solution. Just checked it right now and its solid 6.2 is this a bit high? and if it is can I just add PH down to the nutrient solution mix it up and add the plant back to it? or do I need to mix up an entire new batch of nutrient? (growing in DWC)
Anybody care to weigh in on the PH? I ph'd the water down to 5.9 on Friday when I changed the nutrient solution, its now at 6.2. could this be the issue?
That is on the higher side for hydro but still ok what are your ppms and res temps like? Sent from my [illustrious_imagination] using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Thanks so much for the response! Just checked Nutrient solution is as follows PPM is 470 PH 6.2 temp- 19.5C/ 67.1F i usually run PPM quite a bit lower than 470 so its weird to see something looking like a deficency? allthugh i could be wrong and maybe its not a def? any ideas guys? thanks so much again!
Idk I have only ever grown soil but maybe lockout? I'd try for the 5.3-5.8 range for your pH..... I'm sure wiser minds will respond. Sent from my [illustrious_imagination] using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Thanks for the input, Anyone have any ideas? 5.2PH seems rather low? ive always aimed for 5.8-6.2, should I be aiming for a lower PH? thanks everyone!

You move said you ph was at 6, 5.9, and 6.2. The high end of the scale. Ph to low/mid 5s and let it swing up 6. Isn’t 68 the golden number for water temp as well?
