    Looks like you need to lay off the N for a while.

    Will this help regain its health because I was probably gonna kill it (if it wasn't worth the time) my first time really seeing this..

    When you say your PH is neutral, are you saying it's at 7?

    get your pH back into range. elements like N, P, and K all become much more available to plants with a higher pH.

    5.4-5.8 is really what you want to aim for, but 5.2-6.0 is OK.

    That's way out of range for your medium, you should do as OSUB suggested or you'll be in trouble soon with this plant

    Yes, flush, and sort out your PH... flowers are looking rather small and plant is lanky.

    no need to flush. just completely replace your water at the beginning of your next drain cycle. hopefully you have another barrel (or other resivour) handy. :eek:


    if not i suppose you can just correct the pH with pH up or down......make sure the pH up and down doesnt contain things that are easily broken down, like citric acid or vinegar....pH ups and downs that contain things with only C, H, and O are never worth using to correct a pH.....especially in hydroponics


    im assuming you know what to do with ECs/PPMs since youve done this before, so no need to suggest anything there as the plants look healthy, but just too much N. the plant in your avatar looks good. make sure that pH stays in range - just like your water temperatures and ECs! :smoking:

    Thanks for the advice.. I usually change every Sunday but I was thinking maybe I should change today.
