It's dropping again. I just don't understand I've checked every bucket for rot and there's only 1 out of 20 that looks like shit. And I'm only running A&B and zone cut out the boosters a week ago. ppms are only at 550 witch seems pretty low to me for going in 2 week six of flowering. I even took out the 1 that looks like shit and put it in a 5gal bucket to see if it helps but it didn't.From 5.7 yesterday to 4.5 today. SMH!

I would drop nute strength to 4/450. I have experienced this before and it was too hi of E.C... A lot of strains i have run love it low and constantly drop PH if i go to high.. Last experiment we ran around 300ppm whole run and was topping out at 400 in peak weeks with about 30percent of that being booster. This worked great and had amazing results. I never believed that low of ppms would satisfy my girls but they went crazy.. I will add this (i run my barrel just slightly hotter then the system and i read my PPMs on the 5 scale) smooth and simple is the key even late in flower.

take your ph to 6.2, let it drop, somthing is up though. i dont see how people get away with such high ppms in the UC, i touch anything over 400, i get burns! 3 diff strains aswell..
