...how are you measure'n your pH?
...are you measure'n your ec also?
1 part micro, 2 parts bloom....sounds like the Lucas formula I currently use, I donot have to adjust my pH at all as long as my ec is around 1800 (tds 1300 ppm @ .7 conversion)

I have a digistick ppm meter and for ph I am useing the old drops in a vial cuz my calibration solution isnt here yet,my ppm is 1400 and ph starts aroung low 6.0 or a tad lower the next day im down to like a 5.0? dont know why this is happening it was stable through the whole grow till now thats whats alarming to me something has to be going on and I have to catch it fast im in the 6th week of flower and dont need problems now

Im useing .7 conversion,and discoverd I read my notes wronge and was due to change out my nutes,as far as running a bit high on ppm your right got a slight nute burn on the leaf tips but not bad,its almost time to start cutting back on the nutes anyway they look to be 2 or 3 weeks away from harvest thanks for the advice peace and grow on
