So my whole grow has been a big mess and I’ve been abusing my girls. Long story short, I was never testing my ph/ppm from the start then now at the end I’m paying for it. Been using distilled water from the start. But now I’ve got my ph/ppm right in the water before I feed but now run off is a different story. So here’s what I got
Plant#1-1 gallon ph6.4 ppm1,120 run off was “ph6.13 ppm 2,870”
Plant#2-1 gallon ph6.4 ppm1,060 run off was “ph6.09 ppm3,280”
Plant#4 1gallon ph6.40 ppm1180 run off was ph5.75 ppm6,489
What can I do to fix this or is this ok?
This is 6 weeks
Lols pretty good.

So you find the run off ppm and ph ok? I’m just tripping out? Is there such thing as to much ppm for run off?
Regardless of ppm or runoff your plants look great. So I wouldn’t be overly concerned about it. they are nearing the end of their lifespan so it wouldn’t be surprising if they started feeding a lot less as well as consuming a lot less of water. Usually when I get to about this stage and all the pistils are starting to turn brown and I know the fox tailing has finished up, I usually give just water from here out. This is my personal opinion and how I grow your grow may vary.
You probably could continue feeding flower nutrients for a couple more weeks just to be sure. I still see a lot of white pistols and Fox tailing is not finished.

What dose fox tailing mean? and thank you I thought my plant are not looking that great compared to a lot of growers on there.
Fox tailing is secondary pistils, where it continues to flower, and adds weight.
We all started somewhere, and your plants look good, and I don’t see any deficiencies. Whatever you’re doing I would keep at it.

Actually my number 4 plant has real bad calcium Deficiency like the big fan leafs on the top of the plant are so rough and brittle to the touch and they turned brown/yellow so I cut all the bad leafs off on that one so it don’t look like it but it dose

These were at 5 weeks and now there 6 and there 2x worse then this picture so I bought cal mag to try to fix it I don’t know if it’s going to do anything or not right away
Can you explain how I can tell that the plant Is on the verge of nitrogen tox
Dark, waxy leaves. Eventually the tips of your leaves will burn.
It’s fine for now, but I’d back off the nitrogen.

So then no nutrients to feed them? So no big bloom or big bud? Or cal-mag
Flowering nutes should be fine, as should cal/mag. Your PPMs are really high though and it might be time to take a break for a week or so. It’s pretty hard to hurt a plant with cal/mag, especially if you have a lot of light on them, but I wouldn’t go over a few ml/gallon a feeding. I don’t know if those blemishes are cal/mag or not. Someone else may come along who can help with that.
