I would think that if your EC is .8 then you would need a res change daily. they would completly zap any bloom fert N almost instantly. I would recommend not going under 1.2 and even at that nute change every 3 days. Dont try to spike the N at this point. Just use what your using at 1.2 for now. Personally Ive always had bad dry flower weight if my EC is below 1.5 however many sucessful growers laugh telling me this is to. You must have had nute burn on your last harvest:)

This is a new strain for me, the last one (Black Domina) was ok with 0.9EC and a steady pH @ 5.5. the pH started dropping with this new strain (critical mass). I moved some new CM in to flower and the new growth is all most white. Some of the lower fan leafs are also dieing away
They are more yellow than the pics make it seem. it must be that the HPS is on

I now added a bit(10ml) of all 3 nuts and a little extra micro (45 of Nitrogen,if I'm right).
EC is now 1.1, I'll go up little by little
Ph is 6.3
I hope this helps...

Oh, and my REZ is 26 gallons and the DWC "pots" are about 25 gallons all in all.

to the right of the pics it looks like your burning them.
That shit is harverted already.
I was running on a 0.9-1 EC at the time. Can I burn a plant at that low EC?!
