    Default Light/lime green leaves on my plants?? Growth very slow!!

    hi all, I’m growing 4 plants using iws flood and drain with quarter strength nutes (canna aqua vega A+ B). They are under one 600w hps light about 2.5 - 3 feet from the tops of the plants, temps are about 24-25C. They are 2 week into veg but the plants don’t seem to be growing much and they are a limey green colour?? The ph is 6.0 - 6.4. This is my first time using a flood and drain system so I’m open to any ideas why things arnt going great. Could this be something to do with the water temperature in the reservoir???

    pH seems high I target 5.7-6.2 but could be many things. 1/4 strength nutes might also cause light green.
    Pictures will definitely help as there are so many factors.

    Go to your member profile page, create an album, upload your pic there. Copy the link for the photo from there, past it to this thread.

    The process is *LONG* winded but works reliably for me.

    NOTE: KEEP PICTURE FILE SIZE UNDER 2 MB.
