If you think this is easier to use or understand, or if there is anything I missed, please chime-in.
Also, if the mods would prefer I could start a fresh thread for these, but I never got a response when I asked.


-Soil Grows-

11) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. List dosages (quantity per gallon) and current feeding schedule.
12) Any additives or tea's? (Superthrive, CalMag, molasses, Mother's Earth...)
13) Are your ph levels stable, or do they fluctuate?
14) What is your ingoing water's ph? ...your runoff ph?

K) What is the temperature of your nutrient solution? (high and low temps)
L) Does your ec/ppm show a rise or fall when you do your daily PPM check?
M) Does the ph fluctuate?
N) Do you foliar feed? If so, with what, how often, and at what time do you

Fill out the form and someone will get back to you.....If I were to guess I would say a Mn(Manganese) or Ca (Calcium) deficiency.

PS. I liked the new form by RT so I posted it. You will be the first to fill it in that I know (if you do)
