If they droop from one day to another and then just die then its ph for sure.. make sure you check your ph aftwr mixing and let it sit for a few hrs then check ph again wright before watering.
You can tank me later b.bongsmilie

The plant looks fine today. I run coco and perlite 80/20 and these are key. PH 5.7-5.9. Nothing else! Cal Mag at 4ml/gal EVERYTIME you water/feed. I use (CaliMagic). Young seedlings/cuttings get fed at a TDS of around 400, Veg 700, Flower 1000. (I feed everytime) You know you have it right when your leaves are a beautiful green with no burnt tips or curling. The TDS at my faucet is 75 and I have very clean water so I use tap. Most coco people use R/O water. Most also suggest a 10% runoff when watering. I don't follow that all the time. I do flush heavily the last week - week and a half (every 2-3 days) until my runoff is around 100-150. The only problem I have anymore is if my PH meter isn't calibrated correctly and then a lockout will happen. 5.7-5.9 is a small range and a .2 difference if your meter is off can make a difference. Best of luck.

Add some mycorrhizae, molasses, and silicone powder to your watering regimen and your plants will thank you. Fulvic acid and humic acid is good too. I don't use GH so don't know what the flora line has in it.
