ok so im closing in on the end of week three of veg (5 weeks since i took cuttings) , ph was swinging after my res change and flush for a day or two but has been steady 5.8 - 5.9 for the last three days. im feeding fox farm nutes (big bloom and grow big ) using the fox farms feeding chart ppm is 863 , also using 20 ml cal mag to 8 gallons of water in my res , also just added 2 tsp of superthrive. water temp is 80!!!! just added a 20 0z frozen bottle to my res and its now down to 76. i only had one but i just went and got 5 more they are freezing now i will do two at a time or what ever brings me down to 70 .new tops seem a little wilted and i cant get the tops to reach the top of the plant, have some random dying leaves , some twisting , fox farm big bloom dyes my res brownish and stains my roots so hard to tell if i have root rot.... it is organic so i cant run h202...... any ideas on what my issue is...btw this is two plants in a 6 site dwc ....lighting is a 250w 8u style cfl with reflector hook about 8 inches aboove and on 24/7 , also have another 250 8u cfl over my clones about 8 inches behind it and also a 150w cfl in there to just to kill some of the shade. i have my 4 inch intake fan running and 4 inch exhuast running . 20150730_212948.jpg20150730_212956.jpg 20150730_213020.jpg 20150730_213025.jpg 20150730_213040.jpg 20150730_213058.jpg 20150730_213101.jpg 20150730_213247.jpg 20150730_213344.jpg

this is my first grow wasnt shooting for sog but kinda ended up that way cuzz im scared im gonna damage the roots if i try to slide the netcups out of my lid....i was wanting to trimm off sum of the top leaves to get more light to my tops but didnt know if that would stress my plant....im not sure if its cal because like i said i added 20ml of cal mag to my 8 gallon res... havent seen any improvement unless my ph swinging low caused a lock out ...im not sure what i should be using for k... all i have is tiger bloom that is high in k and thats for flowering

if you just top and changed the res and used the 20-20-20 keep a good eye on it let her grow a bit it is a weed how old a plant is it?
