tested the ph runoff today and it seems fine to me! was round about 6.5... any ideas of what this could be then?

i've come up with one possible cause: i have a 50+ litre plant pot for this plant, and although its getting the right amount of nutes in the mix, it might not be recieving enough when it reaches the plant. the reason i think this is cause i've realised i might not be feeding it enough each time as i only feed 3 litre at a time. so my theory is that if this isnt enough to feed the plant, then the nutrients in the 3L bottle isnt enough to feed all of the root system. i'm not sure if what i think is right or not.. but what do you think? because if this isnt enough to feed her, then not ALL of the rootsystem would be recieving enough nutes.. right?

you should let the pot get pretty dry then soak completely, defo much more than just 3 litres.........check with your hand, not to close to burn, can depend on type of reflector, my closest is around 9 inches with a diamond reflector....
