1 part perlite to every four of Scott's hyponex. Tap water ppm 425 when using megacrop nutes. Ph 6.3. Temp 77 to 82f. 450 watt viparspectra led actual 200w. I got a 6 inch induct infinity s6 cloudline bringing air in and a 9 in. Box fan taking it out. I put verculimite or however it was spelled into the soil also I don't know if it is holding to much moisture or what.
Oh also it is a 3 gallon bucket alot of holes on sides and bottoms I was giving them a liter of water and next watering is a feeding and so on every two days
So I searched the soil you're using on the internet and I came up with some info at another weed site which I don't think I'm allowed to link to but if you search it you'll see what might be the issue you're having, it's possibly soil related
Wow because it seems just like soil but you are making alot of sense the ph in my tap water is about 7.5 the last time I watered my plants I did not use ph down and literally they have been growing better now lol and looking better
