Ok so 2 people say its the PH but Im running it at the recommended level. If its the problem what should I raise it to? And what will raising the PH do? Will it make the plants lockout some nutrients that may be causing the problem? Or is it just the PH itself causing the problem? Sorry for the questions just trying to learn and understand as much as possible.
