I haven't updated with pictures for a while, so I figure the first day of 12/12 is as good a time as any. I just got back from a 5 day vacation and the girls certainly have grown. In preparation for flower, I changed all the reservoirs today and added bloom nutes. EC is about 2.0 all around.

I have been struggling with pH problems that I can't seem to figure out. The 5 gallon buckets have a drastic drop in pH to about 4.0 after a few days and I don't know why. I balance the pH after I add anything to the water, so I can't explain it. Anyways, the plant suffering before I left didn't recover by the time I got back, so I trashed it. The super bushy healthy one got fried over the vacation but should be more salvagable. The LA woman suffered as well but good genetics kept her strong and healthy.

Enough blabbering, on with the pictures...

Here is the trainwreck before I left:


And after I get back:

All the happy plants after res change:

Come in, stay a while. I'll throw some rep your way.

roots look nice
leaf looks like old lady skin
when that happened to me it was because of nutes (too much too soon)
cut it more

How to grow a pound every 3 weeks, thread says something about PH bouncing. general conclusions in regards to your situation was that its Res heat, gotta be within 70F. There might be bacteria and or algae, use hygrozyme. I don’t know You roots look good though. A flush is always good. i dunno im high. The pics look great!

The res stays at 70 degrees give or take a few degrees. The acidic pH problem only seems to occur in the 5 gal buckets. The pH fluctuates upwards normally in the totes, so I'm kind of stumped.

I'm going to cut back the nutes a bit to see if that clears up my problems. I've been upping them every so often because the plants haven't been burning but I guess there are other ill effects of overnuting that I wasn't aware of until now.

Thanks for the comments. :bigjoint:
