well im thinking ive got a magnesium problem from trying to figure this out myself , idunno though
about a week ago i wasnt able to check on my rez and let the ph go up to 7.6 that was for about 18 hours , the next day i noticed the lower leaves looking alittle funny but figured it was just from the ph the day before
i adjusted the ph back down and the plants seemed to kinda stall for a few days but id say the last 3 days they have started to grow fast but the
leaves that seemed to have been damaged from the ph are now really looking
sick like over night almost they went from looking allitle funny to for sure sick
heres a pic of one of the two lower fan leaves that have acted up



this is what the leave started to look like before it did like the one above



any ideas ? is this common im just seeing the after effects ?

cool , cool thanx for the quick reply !!!

also does letting the ph swing out of wack let the elements perciptate out of the solution ? should have i changed the rez and remixed nutes ?

Ya know,that's a very good point.Yes,because yer ph bein outa wack will let it feed on some nutes (mostly micros involved here) and not others.Hard ta say how much it would affect it,but it would.Jus ta be safe that would be a good idea.Good thinkin,I didn't even think ta mention it,sorry.Take care...BC

lol DEE,DEE,DEE!

lol DEE,DEE,DEE!

Went and looked up "precipitate". No I don't think it will brake down yer nute solution in that sense.But because of the ph imbalance yer nute solution may be short on somethings and strong on others (again prolly jus micros).Sorry fer the confusion! lol I need ta smoke some more.later, BC
