Hi fellow gardeners: First-timer here, having problems with my 2 hindu skunk plants. Here's the form and pics will follow.

What is your experience level? first timer

Your Equipment:
.1) Type and wattage of lights. 1 x 1000watt HPS bloom light
.2) Distance from tops? 12 inches
.3) Reflector type? enclosed reflector
.4) Is there a consistent fresh air supply? yes
.5) Do you have an exhaust fan and a circulation fan? 1 fan cooling the light and 1 fan supplying fresh air
.6) What are the bulb wattages, kelvin ratings, and schedule? 1 x 1000watt, 12/12

Your medium:
.7) Specific brand and type of soil, and anything you've added to it. FoxFarms ocean forest soil, plus Hydroton at the bottom
.8) Size of container. 5-gal pots
.9) Did you use peat pucks (or similar) to root clones or germinate seedlings? No, the clones were in stonewool blocks which i planted in the soil

Your nutrients and water:
10) Source of water? Tap What's it's ph before adjusting? Don't know
11) Method of checking water ph. haven't been testing water
12) Method of adjusting water ph. haven't been adjusting pH
13) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. List dosages (quantity per gallon) and current feeding schedule. Earth Juice Bloom Food, 1 Tbsp per gallon, once a week
14) How often are you watering between feedings, and how much per watering? once between feedings, until I see water coming out the bottom, which is about half a gallon for each plant
15) Any additives or tea's? no
16) Are your ph levels stable, or do they fluctuate? Don't know
17) What is your ingoing water's ph? ...your runoff ph? [COLOR=""DeepSkyBlue"]ooh, don't know that either[/COLOR]
18) Do you foliar feed? If so, with what, how often, and at what time do you spray? no foliar feeding, but have been spraying with 10% milk solution to combat powdery mildew which originated on the querkles that are sitting next to the hindus skunks in the grow hut

Your growroom:
19) Indoors or outdoors? indoors
20) What size of closet, room or hut? hut size: 4' wide x 2' deep x 7' tall
21) What are the temps and humidity levels while lights are on? ...With lights off? lights on 70-75; lights off 65-70; don't know humidity
22) Have you seen signs of insects in the growroom? no insects! :thumbsup:

Your strain:
23) What strain are you growing? Hindu Skunk, Indica dominant
24) From seeds or clones? from clones
25) Is this an autoflower strain? don't know what that means, but both plants have great buds, at 4.5 weeks into flowering

I have a theory that this is nutrient lockout from hard water, so yesterday I watered with distilled water and a teaspoon of Earth Juice bloom nutes per gallon. I currently water twice a week, once with food and once with straight tap water. The tap water doesn't seem to affect my querkles or casey jones plants. (Yes i am one of those beginners who has 3 varieties , 2 plants each, growing in one hut!)

Thanks in advance for your feedback. Looking forward to reading the responses!
