Under feeding

And thank you for moving my thread my water is tap water and the ppms are very low like 30 from the tap I know from the start of my grow I was under feeding alot I mean like week 2 I was feeding seedling ppms around 90
 
I let my pH start at 5.8 and drift to about 6 or 6.1 max then lower back to 5.8 It driftst 6.1 in about 3 days or so roots are in a good condition pure white air in the water / Dwc/ bubble ponics I feel it's ok media in net pot rock wool to start seed then moved it to clay pepbels with top feed till roots hit water then turned the top feed off
 
One more thing my lights are on 24/0 and thank you for all the help guys really appreciate it
 
Hey bro, I think your fine, the bottom leaves often do this and the last few sets of leaves look good to me, the new growth also always looks a lighter green but will darken up as it grows.
I think you are spot on letting your PH drift, just keep checking your EC and PH daily, if EC rising then your over feeding if dropping then under feeding but I think your doing good so far so just leave things for a few days and see what the new growth is like
 
Personally I would run 20/4 with the lights as the plants need a rest imo

Thanx for the reply dude honestly my plant has always been an off line green so I think I was messing things up from day one lol but over time I'll figure this out as for the lights it's currently moving into winter where I stay so the 24 / 0 helps keep the temps in the right range on the cold nights

I wouldn't say your under feeding with the ppm you have so if you think you really do have an issue still I would say it's either PH related so double check your ph meter is definitely calibrated, also check roots to make sure there is no root rot and make sure you have enough oxygen in the root zone
 
Just an update plant seems alot better just upped the cal mag and ppms abit and increased light distance will lower it abit again as I lifted it to about 75 cm above the plant some pics

...how do the roots look?vvthis looks like a micronutrient defc. lingering still, maybe S defc...... what nutes are you using?
try keeping the pH under 6.0, better availability for most things,...
