lets see...yellow tips,tips turning down somewhat at the edges,looks like you may want to gradually feed more nitro based nutes for a week and see how it reacts.By gradually I mean 1/4 strength greater than what your using now.

you may want to reconsider that and introduce a light nitro formula,the plants are using all of the nutes that are in the soil,and are asking for more.

My babies always liked the ph at around 6.2 to 6.5,while my full grown plants liked it between 6.8-7.0.Only start the ones that are droopy,the green ones just keep on water until they need more.Give it to them as they need it.

ok how do i check the ph level of the soil

and if i have say a 5.0 soil then if i add 4.5 in water and nutrients would that make the soil
9.5 or thats not how it works
?

ok,to check the soils ph fill it to the top of the rim with water of about 6 or as close to neutral as possible,let the majority of the water run off,test the remainder in the spill pan,and that will give you a base ph for the soil,then you water with ph'd water of 6.2 and then feed.As you have semi-flushed the system you are free to add nutes at 1/4 strength.

The people I grow with and I have let the plant get kinda dry before watering,do you have a moisture guage,if not it's $14 worth of peace of mind.It tells you when the plant is dry.Have always used one.
