is the water hard?How are you PH ing the water? Cause 6.9 is way high for Hydro.Hydro PH should be 5.6 to 5.9 the highest.How are you mixing your nutrients?Per say you are adding the micro to the water first.Then adding grow & bloom.What is the strength of the nutr?Need a little more info to be more help. PEACE

I'm runnin a 10 gallon rez using a drip system. My PPM is usually in the range of 650-750 my plants (4 of them) are 1 month old, and (2 of them) 5 weeks old. I still see slight yellow tips. I thought they would be able to take that much by now though?
