Pictures would help. It could be several things, from deficienty, ph problems, nutt burn etc. If you see that she aint doin well, do NOT add nutriens, they might be the problem. How old r they?Did you flush em?lights?Air moving?More info you give, more you'll get back.....

Hydro Ph is 5.8.....you can go low as 5.5 but try to keep it on 5.8. And 1st you get the ph of the WATER down to 5.8 and then add nutriens, and if need be, adjust the Ph again. And im 99% shure that you have a you a nutient lockout due to high Ph.And yes, you should flush em, regular tapp water ph 5.8 and use 2 x the ammount of the grow medium size.

I agree! With a ph of 10 the plant is locked up and not getting hardly anything. Flush for a bit then reset your reservoir with nutes and then ph balance. Some nutes will raise and lower the ph so I always adjust ph last to know what it will be when done.

Just the greatest thing when you're using mg ferts and a color tester.

I disagree with ph balancing first..Should at nutrients to water and that should bring your ph down to around 5.8+/- and if off just fix it in the end, no need to ph twice.

??? And i dissagree with you, sometimes after adding your nutriens your ph level will go up, and i like my ph at 5.8. On the dot! Not all nutirens are "Ph perfect" and they do tend to mess up your ph level.
