What about your lighting? Bad bulbs can cause this type of problem. Or, a whole new light set up. Changing from pc's to mh's etc. . | |

I think that its a good idea if your Po3/4 is out of hand, but you have zero!
I dont remember what your levels where, but I recommend this;
Get your ph to 8.4-8.5
raise your dkh to 14-16
lower your temp to 76-77 | |

Try something, ask your local LFS if they rent out a phos reactor and see if that makes a difference in your LHA. Just a thought, Luna | |
