You could have used the money you wasted on that to buy yourself some real nutrients. I would recommend General Hydroponics Nutrients for you as they are the easiest to use and give excellent results, also the most popular hydroponics out there. Don't use the ph down and up together in the same res either. How often are you adjusting ph? Also do you have your timer on your pump or is that timer for your light? If you want to get better at this and learn I suggest you listen to me a lot of these people helping you are first time growers themselves leading you in the wrong direction.... this site isnt the greatest for cannabis growing help btw too.
lol....riiighht to a point, concerning advise and the advise given.

but, iv seen some first timers on this board alone do extreamly well, with no issues

anyhow, the nutes you have dont have a lable on the bottle at all??

if i were you id buy the gh or advance nutrient 3 part..(its the same shit)

I'm just suddenly having this little problem and as soon as I find out what it is I'll Rating: 5
