So, I have made quite a bit of mess ups in this grow so far… I overwatered bottom right in the beginning and made it very yellow, I just figured out that I have been overfeeding my plants a lot (about 2400ppm most recent feeding). I use FoxFarm trio Fertilizer and FoxFarm Ocean Forest soil. I started my plants out in nursery pots and moved them into three gallon fabric pots early December. I have fimmed all four of my plants once, two on the fourth node and the other two on the fifth node. I have Mars Hydro FC-8000 and I’ve been running it at 25% for the first 4 weeks and just turned it up to about 60% early December. Three were planted on Nov/7th and bottom right on Nov/10th. My plants are starting to get yellow on the bottom and I noticed one looks a little burnt on the tips. Is there any way I can help them recover? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
If you were over feeding have you considered flushing out the fabric containers to remove excess nutes? We’re you over due to a mis-calibrated ppm pen?
I’m planning on flushing them out and I was overfeeding because the feeding schedule ppm range was based off of a 700 scale and my meter is a 500 scale. How much water should I use to flush each of them? They’re in 3 gallon pots
Can you put them in your tub and slowly let them fill and drain for a bit? The final gallon should be your appropriate feeding bases on your schedule.
So, put them in the bath, fill them with water and let them drain, then feed them after with my usual water with nutrients?
Should I just fill them once with water? And do I let the soil fully dry before feeding nutrients or are you saying to immediately feed it after letting it drain? Also, thank you for the help
I’d slowly run 10-15 gallons through them and then when you’re finished they’ll need to be fed because you pushed everything down and out of the container. Then wait for them to dry again before your next cycle.
After i have ran a couple gallons through i start testing the run off.
I like to get it down low like below 300 or lower.
How ever much it takes is what it takes.
But once you’re getting super low readings from run off, you basically have a clean slate to work with.
Once numbers are low for me, I then feed about regular and carry on
But use your tds meter to know exactly what you’re doing, you dont have to just use carzy amounts and hope its right. Take readings and know its right
