Think I missed a couple of points there. 8ml of micro and 16 bloom going in everytime I feed ( 4 liters gets a good runoff for this single girl) pH´ed to 5.8 . Last time watering I checked the runoff and it was 6.2
Also here is a chart for the tap water if its any help!

I have been feeding every time I water, so not once pure h2o. I should be watering them today, but was thinking of flushing it first with ph´ed water throughly and then giving them the usual feed 8/16 per gallon..would it make any difference ?

Man, you got nice plants, I don't know what you'r complaining about.
They are week 6 out of 8 in, they start to ripen now. And you even got some purpling! (Usually due to temp. difference between the light and dark periods being over 5°C and genetics)

May want to consider watering with straight h2o every now and then. I run hempy in 5 gallon buckets and water h2o only every 3rd watering.
