thanks very much weedhound. much obliged. the ph is now set at 5.9 though a specific level is impossible for me to maintain. between 5.8 and 6.2 is how it go's. doesnt take long to climb back up at all. the ph pen was second hand along with everything else. before we got the cuttings i checked it at 7 with buffer solution. i have only had the plants two weeks so god knows how long its been out of cal. for. i am now running my nutes at 0.8/8/580ppm and most are about a foot in size so is this too much or too little? as i said earlier i was told that this white widow was sensitive to nutes so to take it easy on them.
essentially there hasnt been any improvement but another thought is humidity. i have read various opinions for and against humidity. can anyone categorically state that it is or is not needed? i am running the lights 24/7 at the moment. should i spray the leaves with just plain water or not? is that likely to scorch them under the lights that are about 1 1/2 feet away?
thanks for any help guys and girls.
