ok so a couple weeks ago i unexpectedly had to go away for a couple days which was fine cents i run a areoponic system i figured they would be fine. i returned home to find the girls(god please let them be girls)wiltied , i looked in the res to find almost no water:wall: i filled it back up and prayed it was all right. i still saw some growth but could def see a MAJOR diff in growth rate. its been a couple weeks now and mabey only 3 inches of new growth other wise perfectly healthy looking. i knew something had to be wrong and lastnight i finaly clued in that they had nutrient lock up! i let my water get so low that my ppm went sky high which in return locked the bitches up. last night i put 5 gallons of water in my res all by its self. run it for 5 min then added 100ml of advanced nutrients 'Sensizym' then run that for 1 1/2 hours, then added my reg nutes and today thay look amazing. theirs more growth last night than the last 2 weeks, i couldn t belive my eyes. so i guess the moral of the story is dont make the same newbe mistake i did and let the water get too low and also just because you didnt put in too many nutrients doesnt mean they cant lock up..two thumbs up for sensizym!!:lol:

Sounds as though when you let the rez get low everything concentrated and the PH got whacked out. PH should be between 5.2 and 5.8 for best uptake of nutrients.
