I have a problem with my sprouting plant. The picture says it all, really.
The leaves are yellow, and it's not growing very fast.
I'm growing in a bubbler (dwc).
I knew I had a PH issue in the beginning, and I thought that was the reason for the yellowing and stunted growth. I was at 7 ph for a while, because I couldn't afford PH up/down. That is fixed now, but the plant isn't recovering.
I don't use RO water, but my tapwater holds around 65 PPM. When I feed (at quarter strength, as recommended by various growers), regulate PH, and add a root accelerator, I bump the PPMs up to around 128. I've seen the recommended PPM level for hydro is around 650, how do I bump it that high without using way too much nutes?
Thanks in advance for any advice or recommendations.
