@love_2_grow, thanks! I'm pretty sure it's genetics though! I'm using half the recommended dose of nutrients. It's probably all the water changes. I change it pretty often and never really top off with water. I figure it's so cheap, why not just give it fresh a couple times a week. Besides, my roses love the leftover neut water!
@Kynareth, thanks! I wish I had started from the beginning here though. I was using a different journal, but this one feel much easier to use with all info displayed.
@Growurownseed, ya, it's so dang easy. It's like kool-aid lol. It comes with a little scoop. 1 scoop per gallon. It does take a little time to mix it up, but I just mix it for about 3 minutes. If there's some not dissolved, I just leave it. It's very stable and lasts a long time in the package. Too easy.
