plants are beginning to look much better...figured out the problem i had continual ph issues...was mixing my nutes with the suggested ph level for hydro 5.2-5.9 instead of the in soil recommendation of 6.2-6.5...my ph must of dropped badly every time i fed em cuz the ph was so low...they're recovering slowly but surely and are not takin up nutrients i believe b/c of the adjusted ph of the nute mix and the flush...thanks guys....pics coming soon
