Have been using kind for 10 months and have been showing progressive deficiencies in ebb and flow system mid flower(wk5). Currently using 8oz base, 18oz bloom, 4oz hydroplex, 20ml armor si , 100ml hydroguard and 4 scoops great white with starting ec 1.7-.8 and ph5.8. Media is rock wool with a 40 gallon res changed weekly. Well water is .1ec and 6.8ph from tap

Anyone having problems using this line or thoughts on what's being locked out or deficient in my girls.... Was thinking it was a sulfur issue but a .1ec increase of magnesium sulphate had shown no improvement
 
You're probably getting lockout not using RO. I've seen a pattern here lately with people having mid flower issues when not using RO.
 
My well water registers .1ec (barely) and 6.8ph right out of the tap with blue lab combo meter and won't even register with my truncheon so it seems to be pretty close to ro with ppm?
 
Thanks for the reply ...it does look like normal end cycle fade but shows up mid flower and continues to progress through the plant with a lack of density and size at harvest although quality is still good. Only getting an avg of 40oz per 4x6 table with 1500w of hps in 11wk this past cycle when i was getting around 64ozavg for years with no problems using Dutch master gold( didn't even bother checking ph and ec it was so reliable)before having to switch to AN(way worse problems) and now kind since they stopped producing dm gold

Have been having some problem with ph drop once this shows up mid cycle when i was having normal ph rise with ec drop earlier in cycle , start ph 5.8 and was 5.2 by end of week. Do you think i may need to buffer my well water with.2-3ec of cal mag with the kind for nutrient and ph stability like with ro given my low .1ec well water? Or do you think possibly some other issue? I do use great white, mykos and azos at transplant and hydroguard in the res.
