Yep Mick, Thanks. I ordered Humboldts CalMag & Iron last night. Best I can figure is that the Mg/Ca add-back filter on my ROW unit must have lost its function due to its age.

Due to the plant looking healthy other than this leave color, I'm leaning towards Iron deficiency (even though pH has stayed at 5.8 ~ 6.1). Any suggestions on a fix ?

I was so worried about "burning" the plant that I did not feed at all for the first two weeks. I've attached two more pictures with different lighting... the actual color to my eyes id in between the two... phone camara sees it a bit different then I do. yellow is actually a pale yellow green...

That's what I thought, thus I started feeding a few days before week three ended. Either I'm feeding too much, or not enough... thus the water dump and new nutrients yesterday (day 24)

I have a similar grow setup. I added a top stream to direct water to the smaller starter pod that holds the plant. Do you think that there is any benefit or detriment in doing so ?

My Technaflora Sheet must be outdated (think it's 2011 vintage). They must have made their juice less potent back then, as it seems that they recommended twice what they do now. Anyways.... I dumped the water and replaced as follows; ROW adjusted with pH Down pH=6.1 TDS=70 Vivosun Base A...

Using Technaflora BOOST (3-0-2) 30ml per 5gal (recommended=15ml per 1gal) Using Technaflora GROW (1-3-6) 15ml per 5gal) (recommended= 7.5ml per 1gal) ROW TDS usually is around 150 once pH is taken down to 5.8 to 6.2 range. The above nutrients bumped the TDS to the 1000 range. Water temp ~71-71F...

Entering into my fourth week since germination. All good up until now. pH is 6.0 (5.8-6.2), TDS 1050 (~quarter strength nutrients) Picture may not capture true colors, but 3rd set (& smaller 4th set) leaves are green at the edge and tips, rest is yellow. 2nd set of leaves are green with no...

The ECOFIX does work. The plant roots were trimmed and ECOFIX usage began. The grow survived, but yielded poor... and unfortunately turned into a male plant... there's a word for that ( a hermaphrodite ??). The clone of the plant is a monster and is currently in week 3 of flower. ECOFIX solved a...

My plant now is in the second week of flower, and I just swapped the water out again, adjusted pH, then added BOOST, BLOOM, Awesome Blossom, MagiCal, followed by ECOFIX. Water temp 69-70F, 72% humidity, pH=5.64, TDS=1407, EC=2810, ORP=341. No H2O2, UV Off, 12/12 light. When the plant wakes I'll...

Should I adjust the light cycle back to 18/6 (12/12 now) to give the plant a better recovery from the root trim and the dying yellow leave trim ?

I added a total of 4ml to my 4.5 gallon system,, figuring since it's bacteria it will grow exponentially to some sort of equilibrium regardless. I also turned off my in-line UV system.... and will keep the water at 20 C. Is it essential to cut the roots, or will the ECOFIX bacteria clean up the...

Did you still keep water temperature in the upper sixties, or increase it ?

I got the ECOFIX. How much should I add? 1ml per 4 gallons, or would it hurt to add a bit more than that?

I stay away from most things that make my water darker and/or cloudy.. (sugar daddy thrive alive, etc.)
