My nitrite and nitrate levels on one side of my system are completely off the chart. I have never seen colors like this.
The readings that I am getting are for the beds on the right side, and you can see from this photo that the plants on the left side are doing much better. I planted things ant the same time. My current theory is that the pH on the right side is too high and it is locking out the nutrients that are building up. I am working on getting the pH down by adding lemon juice and by adding water. I tested my well water and it is about 6.0.
This is the growth on the left side of my system where my tilapia are. The pH is too high here also, but not by as much. I have been working on bringing the pH level down and am noticing that the leaves are beginning to darken slowly. This is because if the pH is not in the correct range, the plants cannot absorb the nutrients, like iron.
