check ur ph run off first.untill u do that u are p1ssing against the wind. do not put hydrated lime in its only a very last result and is only used if ur run off is very very very low.

Could be a potasseam and mag loss due to lock out of your ph mate you realy could do with checking your run off :thumbs:
Is that some kind of new nute(,potasseam)?

Just fukin with ya,mine sucks also but at least we get the point across.:smokebuds:
You're running an almost identical setup to mine. I'm going to take a stab here and say fertilizer buildup...here's why:
1) Using RO water it's not going to be a salt/chlorine issue.
2) AN pH perfect nutes should be delivering food at the correct pH or at least close, so I'm doubtful that's the culprit.
3) My cube of SS#4 advanced has always been pH'ed perfectly at 6.3...every single container I've filled with that stuff has been spot-on.
4) It's not light or heat burn/stress because there would be other symptoms in the form of leaf curl and/or other issues.
I would wait a few days until the pots feel nice and light, then do a plain water feeding with about 2 gallons per pot, wait an hour, then come back with another 2 - 5 gallons per pot and try to flush any salts out of the soil. Don't pH adjust your water when you do this, if you have a good RO it should be close to 7 anyway, test the runoff on the second watering to see where your soil pH is at. I get those spots for 2 reasons...too many nutes in the medium OR pH is about 2 points too low. Based on your choice of medium/nutes, I'm thinking it's not a pH issue.
Good luck!

Thanks for the insight. I'll follow up tonight after work.
BTW. I am using the regular AN Sensi Grow and Sensi Bloom. NOT the pH Perfect line. Does that make a difference as to how I approach this?

LOL just checked the post again as i was heavely medicated early on today :thumbs:
If you're pH adjusting your feeds prior to watering, then no...my point in saying that was because I have heard that the AN products in combination with the SS#4 Advanced is pretty close to "fool proof" in terms of results.

I plan to adjust the water I flush with. Can I just adjust the RO water to 7.0 until my runoff is between 6.3 and 6.5?
I use machine vended RO water. I have no idea what the pH is. I always adjust it when watering and feeding to between 6.3 to 6.5. Usually in the 6.3x ballpark.
My last watering was a feeding about 3 days ago where I upped the Sensi Bloom from 50% to 75% plus added Voodoo Juice, Bud Candy, SensiZym, Pirahna, and Blackstrap Molasses. I did water with more liters than I usually do. I really soaked them. They are scheduled for a water only next round. I alternate water only and water with nutes ever other feeding.
