Im using GH ph up and down. It seems like its not very strong i have to add...
i was running veg nutes up until sunday when i did my first run of bloom nutes. the yellowing isnt a problem I know how to fix that and i know what cause it. its the growth that freaks me out. but like NEVEROUTGUNNED said it might be the humboldlt cause i saw his pics and they looked very similar.
