Well then...here's the report. I'm pretty sure I know what's going on :chuck:
It is probably advised to balance Ph AFTER (A-F-T-E-R) mixing nutes, not before? :doh:
RO water (too slow for what I'll be doing in the shire, but goes into the global buckets) = 232ppm @ 7ph
10micron/charcoal filter = 445ppm @ 8ph
Bucket = 614 ppm w/ nutes...now...wait for it.... 9ph :doh:
Room is 60min - 77deg max.
Vegging now on 6 40w 48" flouros, but soon putting in another "gifted" t5 setup.
So after these pictures, the camera died, but I hacked off all the dry crispyness, and there are actually hints that the fiesty thing still has some life. FFFRRREEEAAAKKKK!!!! Roots actually look much improved after a flush today with florokleen for 4 hours.
well then...do you all think i should drop some seeds, or go beg for a clone somewhere??
