is it the older growth that's yellowing? sometimes it's the ones that've been exposed longer... anyways i'm still learning too but if u can always drop it down if u see too much stretch. i'd also recommend a liquid ph test kit if you don't have one.. i was using a cheap yellow ph meter off amazon for awhile and when i double checked against a liquid kit it was way off despite just being calibrated so idk

I got a yellow one off Amazon it works great. I've been using it a couple months and I heard they needed recalibration so I poured some out and it was still spot on.

I think digital if you get one working right is by far the best.

Your yellowing was def from the no nutrient. Why it isn't correcting it self is the question. When mine were that small I ran 400ppm until I started increasing and ran into N toxicity. Maybe your mix is too hot for proper absorption? Not sure.

Your plants are far from dead, I'd try a lower level of nutrient. And sit tight for a while. You have admitted you have put them through hell and back so give them some time to adjust. Or sit back and see what your current nutrient level would do. I wouldn't go upping it. I'm running 800ppm on my ladies that are adults.

I'm not good at it either but now just be patient. They may stunt for a bit.

Yep, just gonna wait it out. They have been stunted for awhile now. On the bright side I have noticed some of the leaves started to stand up. Haven't seen that in like a week.

This morning I checked on the plants before I left for work, ph and ppm levels are same as last night. I do not see any new yellowing but I also don't see any new growth still. The leaves are standing up again and hardly any droop so I am hoping this means I am back on the mend. Hoping growth starts up again soon.

Not saying to change anything because you already diluted the mix but you can def see nutrient burn now.

The leaves standing up slanted towards the light is a good sign patience is truly a virtue right now everything is in place just a waiting game now

What is that you are using in place of an air stone?

I think you are referring to my water pump for the top feed. There are 2 cylinder large air stones in there on either side of the pump. They are not showing up in the picture because of the bubbles.

These two pictures are 3 days apart. Looks like getting worse?

if you ignore the color it actually looks better the roots look a wee bit thicker in structure
