<span class="link_user">@HippyHemulen</span>, thanks for the reply, I find that once i put seedling into larger block, growth stops, it seems like the blocks have too much water and it takes weeks for roots to appear at the bottom of the block. I have tried transplanting into nft tank and again, plants do not seem to handle the volume of water with the pump being continually on. I have been having this problem for years!!
<span class="link_user">@HippyHemulen</span>, I use canna,sorry I didn't take a photo. I have the EC around 1.1 and ph 6. It looks like unused nutrient??
