Yeah I understand, seeing that there is no real definitive answers until it actually unfolds. As long as you all feel confident about this new game plan, I'm confident about it. :) My plants haven't even barely lightened up in color at all, so, there must be a good deal of nutrients stored up in those leaves. I've not PH'd the water though, it's staying in the 6.0-6.5ish area though. That should be fine right?

Yeah I think that's how I'm going to approach it. Start below what I know they can take and work up until I find equilibrium in the PH and PPM's. Happy to have you and your perspective along for the ride buddy. :)

I think your Ph will work, but dont go any higher

Ya but not all the time you will want to drop it back down to 5.8 every now and then as some nutes require it to be a little lower than others. I always start at 5.8/5.7 and let it rise to about 6.3/6.4 and then will drop it back down The next day so all the nutes have a chance of being absorbed through the ph fluctuations

Just curious
When was the last time you calibrated your Ph meter?

It's been just past 4 weeks now, I usually do it every 4 weeks. I'll recal it again in a couple hrs and will see if/how much it is off point. If that is the culprit for this whole mishap, I am going to be so angry at myself lol.

But the meter is only about 5 or 6 months old and so far it hasn't been off even a little at every calibration. That's the only reason it hasn't come to my mind as a possible problem already.

Just cleaned and calibrated my meter, it read 7.1 for the 7 calibration and 4.0 for the 4 calibration, so I don't think it's been contributing to my issues. And yeah I suppose it would've been a relief if the readings were all jacked up during calibration lol. Gonna go get some update pics now. Not that much has really happened the past 24hrs.

How long have you had it like that just 24 hrs?

Yeap, from the point that stl made the recomendation forward they've been flushing. The PH was high on a couple buckets, hopefully that didn't stress them out. I'm worried I'll get a hermie if I don't get these ladies happy fast.
