So I need food and a low PH so my plants can eat the food! I guess I will wait a week or 2 to bud , they are on day 30 or so of real veg now.

For the NL it has no main stalk, craziest plant. It goes up with a "main stalk about 6 inches, almost 5/8 inch stalk, then splits into 4 main branches and has no real top after that at all, the middle of the plant is the most empty light penetrates very well so im training those side branches lower and lower.
Yeah man, go to the local grow shop and pick up a pH tester and some pH up & pH down. They sometimes will sell it all together as a kit. You want like around 6.5 for soil I believe, and even lower pH than that for hydro. That could definitely explain the apparent N deficiency. Keep me posted man.
