Surprised that I have been able to accomplish this much progress with unorthodox techniques; i've used FFOF with 66-6.9 water and fed everyday. I've used distilled water sometime, as well as tap water. But i've tested my tap water, and its high 7 ph. I've used a 1000 watt LED full spectrum 24 hour white light, with a blurple thats 25 watts that i paid $20 for on amazon. I've used GH flora trio minus the gro. Only 2ml of cal mag, 2 ml of micro, 2 ml of bloom every time; despite where they are in age.
