You should turn that light up gradually to 100% keep feeding ph 6.5.
I wouldn’t go crazy. It’s not way off the charts. If it makes you feel better.. feed at ph 6.3.

Ty! Thats what ive been working on. Im at 321 w and have been increasing the watts by 20-30 each day and my plants have been responding very well to it. Ive done 6.5ph water pretty much the whole grow except like the 3rd week of veg cuz of a ph pen from Amazon issue but now ive been using bluelab and its been great. I think the plants are pretty used to the 6.5ph idk how it will affect things if i change it up but since this is my first grow ever im hesitant to risk it. Hermies are my worst nightmare im praying not to get lol
