Raising the pot off the ground will do wonders for air flow. Simple plant riser or milk crates work like a charm.

I may very well do that haha. My plants didn't stretch much, but I also think the growth is stunted...and I've been using FF Tiger Bloom for a month now. Before that nutes were organic - Alaska Fish Fert(5-1-1) and FF Big Bloom. Do organic nutes leave salt behind? Anyways I've never done a flush and with the syn nutes, tums(cal), epsom salts(mag), variety i've fed - Maybe I should flush? I've also fed 1/2-2/3 the various nute dosage every watering. don't think i've given but 1 plain water feeding.

I'm also leaning flush bc...hell I prepped for up to 2x stretch and they only grew 4 inches maybe? Willing to try something extra. Also soil pH is 6.0, seeing further calcium def yellow blotching on fan leaves.

So I flushed them with 2 gallons of luke warm/room temp tap water. Then since I have no milk crates or anything I fell back on good old boyscout knots! Air suspended herb lol

Here are pics I took when out from under the LED grow lights(flushed in bathtub hanging from curtain bar)

It is BONKERS how much worse plants look under LED's. I didn't think much was wrong with the right girl. But decided to flush her too since she's been getting the same feed, so salt build up had to be getting there.

Last half gallon for both included minimal nutes - 1 tsp tiger Bloom, 3tsp of big bloom(calls for 2tbsp/6tsp per half gallon). Hoping this fixes the stunted growth and calcium looking issues(brown spots, yellow blotches on fan leaves). And most of all gets that damn pH up. Been trying to raise it from 5.5, got it to 6.0, but wouldn't get to my happy place of 6.5

We shall see in the coming week.

So as a Boy Scout you can name those knots?

Half hitch, 2 half hitch, and square :D. Also the only ones I remember haha.

EDIT: Man if I'd known these babies weren't going to stretch much I'd have let them veg longer. I Googled and read and read; stretching to twice their veg height seemed pretty common...these girls only grew like 6 inches. Though the low pH and nute lockout could've played a part in that.
