Hey Papa, I don't know if I understand what your saying but I don't think your plants are getting all of the nutrients they need like that.
In soil you need a ph of 6.0-7.0 an when you water-feed them, you want a ph of between 6.0-7.0, it go be a little lower, like 5.5, but if it's not in that range ,they aint getting the proper nutrients they need. I ain't good at explaining, but maybe that helps some. lol
