its easy once you have done it the first time, just ignore my info though and take Jack's otherwise it will confuse you because they are slightly different.
 
It's been 3 weeks now dosing Potassium Nitrate, Potassium Phosphate and CSM+B, and my plants have yet to show any positive signs. In fact the plants are doing worse then they were before? Is this just the plants adapting to the changes? If so, how long does it take for plants to fully adapt to their environment?

Thanks!

Jacks PO4 solution is a bit on the weak side IMO. I am dosing double that, and quite a lot of people are raising their PO4 dosing as they are not finding it enough.

What signs are the plants showing?

thanks.
 
Thanks for the reply!

Well, I do not pump Co2 in, so I do not know if that has anything to do with it?

The plants are just dieing. Their leaves are turning brown and falling off.

They just look really bad.

melting of the leaves is a CO2 (carbon) defficiency.
I would dose 1/2 EI as you are adding too many nutrients and there isnt enough CO2 to cover the demand.

Okay, thanks!

Should I also dose 1/2 of the CSM+B as well?
