GG4 First ever grow!

This week I learned that you can not properly ph ro/di water with a blue lab ph meter. When I decided to ph my tap water which I have not been adjusting before using it tested at 7.9! That quickly explained why my plant has been showing signs of deficiencies even while using the full line of cutting edge solutions nutrients. To fix the problem I transplanted the plants from their 2 gallon smart pots to 7gallons (which needed done anyways) using 1 part ocean forest and 2 part happy frog. I will be going without nutrients for the next week or 2 and using properly ph'd water from now on lol. The plants look like they are recovering well after just 1 day in the new pots. Amazingly these plants have had excellent growth even with the nutrient lock. Almost time to switch them over to 12/12 after they fully recover from this hick up!
