I've been feeding 3 times/day at an EC = 1300 and PH = 6.2. Runoff this morning was ~700 on average. The plants appear to be happy but I'm worried that I'm underfeeding them and its slowing down growth. Should I increase EC? Should I start feeding more often?

The plants look happy, so if you make changes, make them slowly. Your run-off EC being that much lower than your inflow is kind of weird. A walk up of EC by maybe 50 or 100 points every few days shouldn't be too harmful - but be ready to back down at the first sign of leaf edges crisping. The difference between them from week 8 to 9 is just marvelous!

Ph perfect... That's your problem dude that stuff is garbage for growing cannabis I'm sorry. I don't blame you I blame Advanced Nutrients for selling a really bad product.... Your medium is saturated with Ph buffers and all sorts of stuff from the Advanced Nutrients stuff... It really is Hot Garbage.. Expensive and not very good at growing Cannabis.

Hey. Nitrogen uptake it best at 5.5 to 6.0 anything 6 or above is for flowering time. I would test your ph tester. I watch the stems of the leaves of my girls. If their not a purple plant by trait then the stems of the leaves should be green.when they start turning red or purple their telling me they need more food. But, you have to know their wanting more food and not turning red or purple because they can't take up the food that is there, do to lockout, salts building, or even to high ph that their not pulling in what they need. Happy growing. Cheers
