Are you watering until runoff? The added oxygen in the waterings should suffice and allow the roots to breathe and grow quickly. If you’ve been letting them dry out then you might have built up mineral salts and might need to flush them to get them back to where they need to be. You need to water them a couple times a day to keep the roots happy.

Agreed but just once a day is fine. In the right sized pot.

That's the issue. You letting it dry skewed the ph and ppms. It's ok. Easy to fix. Small pots, less buildup for the clones.

Was thinken maybe its a moly deficiency, symptoms seem about right and my last round i was runnin around a 6.5 Ph where as now its at 6.0 and run off is on point with whats goin in so not much of a drastic difference there

But they havent dried out, i just wait till they get close to dry and water again to avoid overwatering

You can not over water something that holds enough oxygen at full saturation. End of story. Water it daily.

It's gonna take about 7 to 10 days before the media really gets readjusted. So don't give up too soon if you don't see a change within a few days. Also never water with just plain tap. Always feed.

Still skews the media and takes days to get back to where it needs too. Never plain water.
