    Plants wont grow

    I found that when new plants and old stop growing is because they can not uptake any nutes due to cal, mg deficiency. go easy on your base nutes ( 1/4 strength) and use more cal mg in your water. Especially if you are using led lighting( needs more cal mg, ?? not sure y) Once growth starts...

    slowwww growth

    what is ur water ppm before u add nutes ? Mine is close to 0 @ 8ppm . So if ur ppm's rise they are drinking just water which means WHAT ? That there is more mutes in the water than the plant can use ?? or not enough calmg for the plants to be able to uptake the nutes. ?? The ppm's use to rise...

    6" pots are FULL of roots but very little are protruding the pot ? My guess is the plants are root bound ? Removed plants from pots and loosened up the roots and replaced with new hydotron, also raised pots to slightly above the water line. Anyone else ever deal with root bound issues ? I will...
