<span class="link_user">@knoxknox88</span>, Thanks! I think my DLI was at about 43 when I had her at 20/4. I’ve changed it to 18/6 about 2 weeks ago. I’m using the photone app to measure that. I do think the leaves have been less droopy since I changed that. I have the lights (150w) at 70% at the moment. I’m trying to see if there is light stress. I appreciate the comment, as I have been focusing a lot on the nutrients / feeding amounts / ph levels. I just fed her this morning with just below the recommended dosage of grow and bloom. (I’ve been slowly increasing from half dosage over the past couple of weeks) I have 2 more seeds of GCA but I might try something else once this grow is done. Thanks again!

<span class="link_user">@Randyaster</span>, my tapwater has about 400 PPM from the start, i dont de-chlorinate it at all, and it works just fine for me with my added nutrients, i just follow the schedule from the nutrient company and it works without issues for me, Gorilla Cookies can really take a beating, with low and high nutrient solutions, low and high DLI, i&#039;m rocking 65 DLI for my GCA right now and it&#039;s loving it, lol. Could have been a touchy variant you got tho, i&#039;m not doubting you, just telling you my experience with this strain and what it can handle, so in my opinion, i dont think it&#039;s the bottled waters base at 400 PPM that is the issue here.
