I feed a light nute dilution today [around 315 ppm], as i fed a bit over my last feed [ppm of abt 615], it seeems even at around 300-400 ppm feeds runnof is always at around 160 or so, i thought this idicated hunger as to why i bumped feed to 615 ppm yesterday, even with that , the runnof was substansilly low.
I took some ph/ppm runoff sample after todays feed with my tds meter.
Todays feed was at 315 ppm ph at 6

Runoff:
1. 185 ppm, ph at 6.2
2.167 ppm, ph at 6
3.209 ppm, ph at 6
4. 194 ppm, at ph at 6.1
5. 294 ppm ph at 6. [ this one is pic # 4, one of my smaller ones, im not sure if shes going to make it, i dropped a cord on her and she was at surface level of pot, i adjusted back to straight 3 -4 days ago, im not sure if its roots are damaged or getting root rot,i tried to get a bigger runnof with feed today by 2.5x but it fluctuated from 160ppm then to 354ppm. Is there a reason this is happening?

Should i be bumping up my nutes in this scenario? Or perhaps they going through nute lockout? What ppms should i be feeding these girls[.7-1.4 ec]? Any other reason they might be experiencing stunted growth.
My temp 70-80 f, humidity 40-60

Ive hade these clonse since oct 3 [transplant day] pic #5 and #6
Since then they havent gotten much bigger, i did have a mite issue [broad mites/cycleman maites] and have sprayed avid foliar 2wice now. As well as a med dose azamax soil drench, as well as one diamactus earth foliar inbetween avid. I cleaned my veg rm yeterday, and nuked with heavy avid spray, followed by a isopropyl spray [removed plants 1st before doing so]
I tried to heat treat room to 120f, but only got to 111f so i opted not to.

Messing with the runoff will run you nuts! I never grew from clones. What are you growing in? Looks like Perlite? I don't ever check my runoff it's not actuate you'll will never ever get it right and you don't have to. I only worry about what's going in.

I'm thinking of getting that stuff they have to put on top but my mixture isn't compacting enough I'm trying sunshine mix 4 (black bag without coco) and 1/3 growstones I don't even use my ph meter anymore using the ph perfect sensi bloom I don't even check whats going in:eyesmoke:
