Hot dose of nutes this week! I think they need it. I think it's supposed to mix to 1200ppm but the hard water adds around 200 more.
Something is off about them. Could be the ultra low humidity and fucked up vpd. My humidifier shit the bed a few days ago. I have my back up in there now set to 50%. But the leaves are all flat green without much gloss about them. I am using re-used coco from a previous run that i buffered myself. I dunno, we'll see what this blast of high ppm's does for them. I fed 1 liter through the top and bottom fed a second liter. 2 liters total for each plant.
I actually flipped them to flower on Saturday, but i like to start my weeks on Monday's so....
I feed week 1 of bloom formula on the last week of veg before the flip.
PPFD is between 500 and 600.
6 Plants are 17 inches tall, the runt in the middle is 16 inches. Soil pH seems to be 6.8. Next watering i will water in a 5.5 pH

Checked the coco pH last night and it was 6.8. So today i mixed up some gassed off tap water to a 4.8 pH and bottom watered 1 liter into each pot.
The plants leaf tips are pointing down due to the hot dose of food. No tip burn though so it should be good. Light is 3 inches from the canopy and PPFD on each plant are all 600 to 650.
Your plants look great. I see you’re ph drifting. I did as well.
Using tap, my ph would drift up over time, so I’d set it a little low 5.7 and let it drift to 6.15. I run my coco at 5.8-5.9 successfully.
Once I switched to RO water my drift went away. Tip- You can use your dehumidifier water as ro water… and mitigate some drift.
@Todzilla, I was told that using dehumidifier water was a bad idea because of the air born pathogens that get in it. I was also under the impression that using RO water caused more pH Drift.
