Pic of roots will have to be at later time, but yes roughly soccer ball size. The less happy plants maybe a bit smaller roots but no rot.

"Adding nitrogen" I just added extra nitrogen (the brown in the 3 part)(5-0-1) into my food for a week

Yes the Flora. I'm on the fence if I will keep them. I left town and came home to this so kinda have to roll w the punches. And also stop leaving town I guess lol thanks again!

Hey. I had a quick question for you. These girls are in flower week 4, but have the same setup as the previous. Ppm@1200 ph between 5.5-6.5 (mostly 5.5-5.8 having trouble keeping the ph up. Keeps wanting to fall). I'm getting a lot of red etching on fan leaves and some yellow but nothing out of the norm w the yellowing.

ppm still way too high in my opinion. here's what i would use:
great white normal strength, 1mL/gal Si, 2mL/gal Cal/Mg, 5mL micro and 10mL bloom per gallon. that should get you a much lower ppm (i'd guess 5 to 600). your pH sounds great but keep it between 5.5 and 6.1

Ok. I was under the impression that if they weren't burning just keep upping the ppm per week. Is that incorrect?

that leaf pic shows tip burn. see the brown just at the very end?
i never go above EC 1.2 for my whole grow. that's about 600ppm. try that nutrient schedule i gave you for a week and see how they look. it's basically what i use except i don't use the cal/mg or the great white.

Ok I can do that. Should I flush w florakleen for a day or just lower the nutrients?
I have two systems in here. One is at 1180 and has zero problems, just beautiful. Top feed barrel lowers every day. This system is locked out I believe, they are not eating the top feed food etc

whenever i see any problems, a 24hr flush is the first thing i do.
yeah, if your nutes are too strong, they will lock out.
you should be able to use that nute recipe up to the last 2 weeks. then i'd stop the Si, the Cal/Mg and cut your micro/bloom from 5/10 to 3/6. the last 2 weeks they cut down their eating.

Perfect. Thanks for your help, more than you know.
When you say micro/bloom; you don't use any flora-gro in bloom?

nope. that 5/10 micro/bloom ratio is called Lucas formula. you can also use it at 8/16 but that always was a bit too strong for me. here's the history of it. interesting read. http://www.angelfire.com/cantina/fourtwenty/articles/profiles.htm
