Day 19
2022-11-11
Ok, not a great update today. I did not ph down the res 2 days in a row and watered with 7.1 ph because the ph perfect system is supposed to be awesome sauce and no worries, right? Wrong. I woke up this morning to what appears to be a Phosphorus deficiency on one plant and a mag deficiency just getting started on most of the other plants (lower leaves turning a slightly lighter color of green than the other leaves).
I bought the ph perfect grow on Amazon and there were several reviews that said they were sent expired product with the barcodes marked out. Well, mine barcodes are marked out too. So, the grow is going back to Amazon and I guess I will buy direct from AN from here on out.
Here is what I did today to try and fix all the issues. I hope the ladies will forgive me because I am sure they are feeling pretty stressed right now. I did this for all plants.

- ph'd res (still with grow nutes) and fed but after a few hours I could tell the problems were getting worse so...
- I flushed with distilled water to get all the grow nutes out
- mixed up new res using distilled water and ph perfect sensi bloom (ph was 6.1 when finished so I didn't ph down)
- fed to waste instead of recirculating in the res like I normally do
