Flipsieanswered grow question 8 months ago Inrease the PH slightly to 6.5. Your nutrients say, that they are for tapwater with a ph of 7.5. I dont know the actual PH they produce, but maby your tap water has a lower PH then 7.5 and the fertilizer corrects it too far down. The slightly burnt tips and glossy dark surface can also be a sign of low PH, they arent always nutrient excess.
