The plant has been growing extemely slow (it`s over 3 months old possibly 4 months) old leaves were turning light green, yellow, white and then brown. At the time i was feeding them with really weak nutes which was slightly less than 1)3 strength and was getting poor results with very slow growth. I figured she was hungry so I bumped it up to 3)4 strength which led to pretty quick growth the leaf edges were curling up like heat stress ( which i know it is not) and spots on the leaves after the leaves fully developed. On the next feed day i gave her approx. 2)3 strength and same thing. Figuring that i had burned her I flushed her out 5 days ago with about a gallon of ph 6.8 water and runoff was 6.8 at end of flush. The runoff was piss yellow at the start of the flushwhich i read on stinkys flush guide was an indicator that it needed a flush. I watered until the water was pretty clear (still a bit of yellow not much) and she has not produced any spots since but im back to the same slow light green coloured growth. Any ideas?
