Been a while since I've updated. I ended up dropping the res PPM over the course of a few days by pulling a few gallons at a time and refilling with fresh H20. As of yesterday I was at 500ppm.
Came home from work today and noticed a couple things. First of all, most of the plants looked a bit better, and were showing new growth. I did notice some tip burn though, something I'd really never seen with just the
Maxibloom alone. I pulled a couple more gallons from both res' and brought the ppms to 400. (420 actually, coincidentally).
Also, I had been screwing with the water feed to my water cooling gear and had backed off on it a bit causing my room and res temps to go higher than I would normally let them. Room temp was 84, res temps were 73. I've since increased the flow to the cooling loops in my res' to bring the res temps down a bit, but I'm going to try running the room on the warmer side since I'm still running the CGE with co2.
I'll keep an eye on things but at the moment I'm beginning to think that either my tap is too clean and the
Maxibloom didn't have quite enough MG to satisfy my strain, or perhaps I just hit them way too hard with the
Maxibloom, pissed em off, and they locked out causing the myriad of problems I encountered. I'm sure swinging the ph (and every other variable) all over the place thinking my meter was on the fritz didn't help either. Hell, maybe the room was just too cool for them. I'm still not sure, but I think I may be getting closer to a resolution. If I do, I'll be sure to let everyone know. If not, well, I'm sure I'll let you all know that too. lol
Thanks again everyone. :)
