is it the older growth that's yellowing? sometimes it's the ones that've been exposed longer... anyways i'm still learning too but if u can always drop it down if u see too much stretch. i'd also recommend a liquid ph test kit if you don't have one.. i was using a cheap yellow ph meter off amazon for awhile and when i double checked against a liquid kit it was way off despite just being calibrated so idk

I got a yellow one off Amazon it works great. I've been using it a couple months and I heard they needed recalibration so I poured some out and it was still spot on.

Yeah I meter and strips. I also have pH 7 liquid to test against. Everything looks calibrated

Your yellowing was def from the no nutrient. Why it isn't correcting it self is the question. When mine were that small I ran 400ppm until I started increasing and ran into N toxicity. Maybe your mix is too hot for proper absorption? Not sure.

Your plants are far from dead, I'd try a lower level of nutrient. And sit tight for a while. You have admitted you have put them through hell and back so give them some time to adjust. Or sit back and see what your current nutrient level would do. I wouldn't go upping it. I'm running 800ppm on my ladies that are adults.

This morning I checked on the plants before I left for work, ph and ppm levels are same as last night. I do not see any new yellowing but I also don't see any new growth still. The leaves are standing up again and hardly any droop so I am hoping this means I am back on the mend. Hoping growth starts up again soon.

The leaves standing up slanted towards the light is a good sign patience is truly a virtue right now everything is in place just a waiting game now

What is that you are using in place of an air stone?

I think you are referring to my water pump for the top feed. There are 2 cylinder large air stones in there on either side of the pump. They are not showing up in the picture because of the bubbles.
