First thing you need to do is learn how to feed coco. It should never dry out, not even the top 3rd as you are letting it do.

Plants your size should be fed daily and to significant runoff, especially with as much perlite as you have in your pots. Letting any of the coco dry out is going to cause salt build ups and EC spikes.
Ya I did have a salt build up. Ph and ec higher in run off. This will be corrected. Thank you. I have botanicare clearex. Maybe a run of that or two before flower????

Actually HID's are becoming cheaper.

I'm not anti LED but I've done the math and to replace my HID with an LED that provided the same light it would take almost 5 years to pay for itself. Now granted every situation is different. I grow in an unheated garage during the winter and have cheap power. If I lived in Arizona I probably wouldn't be running HID's. But where I'm at the initial cost outlay doesn't really justify any savings in power. I could make more money than I can save by putting that same amount of money to work for me. It doesn't make sense financially for many people to switch to LED.

Here's what I pay for power. :peace:

I believe you. Not all parameters are exactly the same in every grow so if it's more economical for you and you've done your research, then who can argue that! Happy growing!!
