Temp good, ph good, fans good, lighting good, plants look good in under the hps. Just look up signs of over and under watering on RIU and signs of under and over fertilizing. The plants will tell you what they want if you keep a close eye on them in the first bit. Then theyll drink and eat more, then theyll drink and eat less at the end. Just remember that they will stretch when you swich them 12/12 alot. Your setup looks like it would be great for scrog. Relax, your doin fine

PH for a soil grow should be in the 6.8 range a PH of 5.9 is borderline lockout on alot of nutes fix your PH immidiatly if you are 100% correct its 5.9

Hmm, i doubt thered be lockout caused by ph at 5.9. The reading that ive seen claims that ph is not as important as the guys at the grow store make it out to be. Usually its a go to response related to the question " whats wrong with my plants?", because the person being questioned has no idea. I run around 7 in my dwc and i dont have lockout. I also believe that ph adjusters cause more problems than they solve sometimes and try and stay away from them personally as much as possible. The size of the plant is really not affected much by ph unless you are letting the ph levels go WAY out. Besides, the ph will gradually rise naturally in the res as it recirculates...so it will bring itself back up, right? I think that picture is of a recirculating system?

Bamboo will work to support them, scrog will work better and it looks like you have alot of extra room in there! Room to grow monster 5 oz plants if you scrog like a pro. I like to build my own net. Johnjayrambo on youtube has a video on how to build a net.
If you do decide to scrog id cut those feeder lines to the right length so they dont get in the way later. If your scrog is good youll have to crawl around those plants to get in the back so you could kick them off potentialy. What variety of herb are you growing?
