They still looking good
If I dont top off mine ppms always drop. I think your nutes are to high from the start you shouldnt need the top off to keep the ppm stable I always want to see mine go down with or with out top offs.
Good luck

Yeah the ph being off kept the plants from eating for sure it was shooting to around 6.5 from 5.5 within a day so when I didn't top off they were at around 6.5 and the salts built up pretty fast from their water consumption they drink about 10 gallons a day right now. I like to see my ppm fall all the time that means things are running right but you gotta have a stable ph for that to happen.

Speaking of PPM's, never seem to break 500ppms yet EVER! IF you have not tried backing off your ppm's yet (this goes out to ALL UC users!) you really should. You can save SO much nutrients, and the kicker is your plants will grow even faster and stronger and bigger! Give it a shot!

I believe you ever since I backed mine off my leaves are starting to get on the level of my veg plants in my rdwc. They feel like silk that's what I look for now a days. I think cutting back to 1/2 strength was the right move. I'll keep you updated.

Actually you know what I fucked up... My ph pen was off when I mixed my first half of the new nutes I think I put too much ph up in the first half hence the 6.3 which is about right and now it's 6.4 with the ppm cut almost in half from where I set it at. I think what just happened is normal and that it's definitely my fault for right now I just made an acidic top off to try and equal it out real quick I'll keep you posted.

yes lower nutes all the way, and try starting your initial pH lower and let it drift to 5.8 after 2 days then it should stay. with my waters strong buffers and high pH i set mine to 4.3 and its at 5.8 in a day or two and stays without adjustment for 2+ weeks no problem

Im still having ph problems but my plants look retarded I will post some pics later.

What do you set your top off res at? Do you also set that at 4.3?

Dude I swear to god every last cutting was on an equal playing field besides the one I'm the back right it was a little on the small side but had more root development then the bigger one so I rolled it... The closest ones on the back 4 were all tilting towards the digilux the back 2 had all hortilux blue and that clone was big. As soon as I put the digilux down they started throwing out shoots everywhere. Side by side the digilux looks brighter and has a more reddish looking glow to it. You can tell whatever it is they love it and I do too. I love it so much I'm bout to go buy 2 digilux hps to bloom with and keep my hortilux hps bulbs as backups or something.

Still feeling that way about the Digilux? Thinking of picking a few up.
