Then your feeding too light, feed your core @ 4.3 grams Per Gallon, Grow or Bloom @ 7.2 Grams per Gallon.

Check pH using these: 1692110676178.png
Shoot for that color too, a nice yellow (6.0).
Fill the little vial halfway then use a few drops of the test solution to get your pH value. $7 and will be super accurate forever no batteries or maintenance other than buying the refill bottle of drops.

If you want a way higher silicon content (higher ph UP) do not use Athena's Balance, it's super watered down silica, use Armor Si by General Hydroponics @ 5 ml/gal before mixing in your nutrients, never add Armor Si or other silica products after you've already mixed fertilizer in the water. It has to be mixed first or it will react and cloud your reservoir.

Good stuff, I'd check out maxibloom if your only mixing a small batch at a time, I mix maxibloom in big batches personally but the Advanced Nutrients, Athena, Jacks, Masterblend etc are more for mixing large stock tanks than mixing little batches. I have had problems in the past having a smaller grow and trying to run jacks or athena pro. Things just never were dialed like with maxi.

Maxi is easy too, 1 teaspoon per gallon is all you need and in hard water you might actually need pH Down but in filtered water I need pH UP to hit 6.0 pH. Also, if 1 tsp/gal doesn't work you can always increase or decrease for example if the plants are dark green you can use less, if its light green or looks hungry you can feed more. Really easy nutrient to use and produces the best results with the least shenanigans.
