another note is that too much water can lead to yellow leaves eventually, after they droop...but you should've noticed this...try feeding your plants equal n p k for a week and see if the new growth starts greening up...the old growth probalbly will not come back and watch for it to fall off...
Thanks man! I just brought my ph up to 7.2 and took another plant and flushed her with the 7.2 water and the run off water was still around 6.0? lol weird!...I 'll keep trying a few different things man o man this grow was my best one to date had the advance nutes going and everything started with bud blood followed everything to the T and seems the grow is starting to go down hill! I noticed the plants were beginning to show some really robust growth the nutes seem to work great! results were looking really good now this!....damn it lol...
