What does your nute recipe consist of??? What NPK's and Micro's you using??? Are you letting them dry between watering/feeding??? Do you give nutes with every watering??? What kind of water you using???

How far away are your lamps from plant tops??? They don't look as bushy as they should for 6000 watts....

It looks like you have a nute deficiency and possible over watering prob going on....

lights are 21/2 ft over canopy. I give nutrients 2 times a day. I did let them dry between feedings, but the nutrient deficiency showed on the plants. trhat is were my issue was. I cut down the watering/feeding to the ones that were light. The heavy ones i did not feed till the were light.

I don't have any experience with the nutes you are using or method....I've never used rockwool cubes either.... So I don't know how much of assistance I can be....but I do know nutes....

What week of growth are you in??? And at what rate do you give each nute/supplement???

They are 4th week of veg. They were hit hard with mites, thanks to a dirty supplier. We used avid and boomed the heck out of the area. As far as rate of nut, are you talking about amounts? I hand water each cube. Since I am new with rockwoll I was instructed to feed them twice a day. I just soak the cube till i get run off from each cube. I did back off on the schedule, and let them dry out. Took a 1-2 days depending on the weight of each cube. I am running 750 ppms and the lights are on 24 hours. I am not a fan of 24, but I am listening to my partner, totally a new way to grow results from it are off the hook.

Plants use and store energy.... If you have them always using all the energy they have, they don't have any time to rest and store the much needed energy to grow as created to....

Think about it like any other biological species, like humans for example.... If you left the lights on while you were trying to sleep at night, you probably wouldn't sleep well.... So what would you do to get some much needed rest and store energy for the next day??? You would turn out the lights!!!

Your plants probably haven't recovered from the stress of the infestation and the methods used to rid the pests.... And are now showing you signs of stress.... You should go 18/6 and let them store energy and repair themselves....

And by nute levels, I mean how many milliliters per gallon do you give of each nute to make up your recipe???....

Is your partners 24/0 recommendation from his direct personal experience or is it something he heard was supposed to work wonders for plants???

55 gallon tand addin 8 ounces of hygro, 4ounces of F1, 4 ounces of Cal/Mag, 2ounces of Protek and 7 each of SB and A&B..gives my a ppm of 800, tank change every 7 days. I agree with the 24-7. The leaves are dry to the tough, like overwatering.

One thing that stands out to me is that you are only giving 120ml of cal mag when 275ml is needed for 55gal of water.... Are you giving recommended rates or do you have a recipe of your own???

What is your water source??? RO??? Or tap???

Recipe. Using tap..What stands out for me is the 24 and no rest. after doing this for 3o years, I have never done this. Thanks CGI
