I’ve been trying to correct the ph issue by adding water with a higher and higher ph level. Which is how I ended up watering my plants with ph 11 water which is the equivalent to ammonia solution.Looking at the ingredients, I see several acids, maybe you will need a ph up, I wouldnt let it sit at 5,5.
AgreedAll i see is new growth that is slightly more yellow and is very common in the beginning stages of flower when it's "stretching"
i wouldn't say there is any issue with CA or MG - was the lighter colors giving you that impression? they look great.
lemme guess, around the first week of flower?
that picture gives a little more depth into the coloring in the leaves - I'd definitely be careful of what hiesenburg says though. said some goofy stuff recently.The plants shouldn’t be flowering as they are on a 18/6 and aren’t autos.
I’ve been using ph up and down while making the nutrient solution making sure the ph in the water and feed is consistently at ph 6.5.Dolomite lime is in between 5,5 and 6,5 but with the acids your nute has it might alter it anyway. Just buy a ph down and up I would say.
Then you should be fine. The yellowing can be a nutrient unbalance caused by the 5,5 ph. Keep testing the runoff and try to get to 6,2-6,5 asap. I see an olive green leaf in there aswell, which makes me think even more its nute unbalance or too much acidity(Some leaves show deficiency symptoms while that green one shows too much nitrogen or potassium). What ph down are you using?I’ve been using ph up and down while making the nutrient solution making sure the ph in the water and feed is consistently at ph 6.5.
I’m using Growth Technology hydroponic PH up and downThen you should be fine. The yellowing can be a nutrient unbalance caused by the 5,5 ph. Keep testing the runoff and try to get to 6,5 asap.

In future grows yes but may take a week or two to be activeOkay I didn’t realise this when researching chemicals. What would your suggestion be to combat this issue?
I’m thinking of adding dolomite lime to see if that improves anything
Probably about 5 or 6 mlGood I was just making sure you were not using citric acid. Your ph down is 81% phosphoric acid and your ph up 25% potassium hydroxide. Maybe someone else can do something with that extra info. When you went to ph your water to 11, did you use a lot of ph up?
Did the slight yellowing start happening after that or before that?Probably about 5 or 6 ml
the yellowing has been going on for about 2 weeksDid the slight yellowing start happening after that or before that?
So it varies for each week. But my schedule only has 2 weeks of veg and then jumps into flowering. I’ve been vegging for about a month and have been using about 15ml of A+B per 4.5L (1Gallon)of water as the schedule is per gallenAre you using full dose of nutes? How many ml per bottle are you using per gallon or liter?
Would you recommend changing my nutrient line? And would you be able to recommend a line that doesn’t run into many issues.Just keep answering questions and hopefully I or someone else can give you a couple of options.
