Things to check........

Are you sprayers blocked ?
When did you change your res ?
Whats the PH and EC/PPM of your res ?

They look hungry to be honest !

I honestly thought that too... I was thinking shit these girls need a feed so I chucked some nutrients in just too be sure.
I have never ever sprayed them so Im assuming that means go ahead and give it a crack? I havent check their PH, EC/PPM because I only changed the water like an hour or two ago and I've been too lazy but I am concerned.

If you just did a res change have you added nutes back in ? What water are you using ?

Check the PH and EC now just to confirm it is correct. If we both think they are hungry then they probably are :)

I don't have an EC measurement but the PH is around 6.2, 6.3 at most. Would it be worthy to add more nutrients?
Clearly I am a newbie haha

P.S
The water is normal rain water that has been filtered through underground pipes, I have always used it and it has the same PH as most bottled water I have bought.

Your call, leaves that light I add nutes leaves darker than that I bring them down. My EC is just a guideline that I use for determining how much food my plants are eating rather than the concentration.

I would up the grow feed slightly. Very gradually and watch for burnt tips. I tend to learn a strain by finding out how hot it can run then lowering slightly. That only really works if you have multiple runs of the same stain.

All the information here is from my head. Please verify it yourself before acting as I dont grow hydro ;)

That sounds about right, i just dont know whether to chuck in some nutrients straight away or not, its only 5.5mls of some mixed shit they sell with aerogardens so I couldnt imagine it hurting to throw in some more, I suppose if it hurts them at all I could flush the water again right?

Raise it slowly, day by day work out how strong your nutrients can go. Just make sure you dont work it up too fast and end up in a lockout situation. (not good at all)

You dont want to shock them by changing it too quick or do damage by making it too strong. Yes you can just do a res change if you mess up ;) but you might have already put them into shock.

Just up it a little see the difference and as soon as you see burnt tips back off a little :)

Hope that helps.
