Applying nutrients (first time)

Grow Cycle Flowering
1

Hello everyone, been a while. My plant is officially 8 weeks old today (from breaking soil) and I believe all of the FFOF soil nutrients has ran it’s course. I’m starting to see some bottom leaves turning yellow finally, and we are about (2?) weeks into flowering. I have the FF nutrients Trio, and I am currently watering about 2 1/2 L in a 3 gallon fabric pot. Last watering (Tuesday) had a runoff PPM of 2755, so I’m pretty sure my meter is not working if it shows that, but newer leaves are turning yellow. Since I was running 2L I had it planned out to these measurements of each nute, and I was wondering if these sounds good.

Big Bloom: 20 mL

Grow Big: 5 mL

Tiger Bloom: 5 mL

I got these measurements from halving the general recommended amounts, as I use 1/2-3/4 of a gallon for watering. Next watering is in about 2 days, but I might water a day earlier if more leafs begin to yellow out.

Here are some photos of my lady earlier this morning.

A new bag of Fox Farms soil would have a runoff of 4000 or more. The runoff value gradually decreases over time and as it approaches 1000 you start feeding your plants.

During flowering bottom leaves can yellow a die off. A certain amount of dying leaves should be expected, excess loss may need addressing.

Plant is fine.

That TDS is expected at this point. One suggestion is to not supplement until you are down to around 1,500 ppm in your runoff. When you mix supplements; shoot for around 1,100 ppm and PH of 6.5.
