I'm sorry......I must be stupid or something but I cant find any link to any pictures or album......can you link me?

Off the top of my head I'd say use 20/20/20 for early bloom and start using the other at about 3-4 weeks into 12/12.

I still don't know what to say about your ph......so I'm just going to leave that one alone completely.

We all like to keep an open mind but not so open our brains fall out. LOL

It's all about finding what works for you. Maybe look around for a garden shop that has aquatic plants and nutes for those. Otherwise keep doing what your doing.

How are you testing PH ? Maybe why it looks high. Test strips are hard to jugde and meters can be off calibration. My meter went out once and I had my PH down in the 3's. LOL.
