@plumbdand Just a thought here as I don’t use the auto pots.
The frass itself didnt cause this.
Bottom watering leaves a higher concentration of salts in the upper portion of the soil.
When you watered from the top it pushed them back down into your root zone / res.
Thinking that’s why the 4.5 ec when you first checked it in the tray.
After cleaning the trays and watering again it was down to 2.5.

I agree the olny other thing going on was the bug eggs I found on the bottoms of its leaves. I delt with russet mites last year and the eggs looked similar but different. I sprayed the plant that night with a bottle of distilled water and Dr Zymes that I mixed about 3 weeks ago. Maybe it fried the leaves but It doesn’t explain the yellow new growth. Ive since fogged my entire setup twice with Dr Zymes with no ill affect to it or my other plants. I dont know Im grasping at straws here. On a good note after fogging two night in a row I can only find a few eggs here and there on her. I haven’t found any on the other two plants. Im gonna skip spraying tonight then go to once a week unless I see an issue. Im still wondering if I should do a flush and reset the soil ppms

I’m thinking the flush couldn’t hurt.
A reset should bring everything back in line for you.

After I flush when should I feed and should I just put it in the base or water it in. Should I add mycorrhizae and or tribus

The last gal of the flush should be fees water to reset to ur desir3d ppm

Im using self water bases should I add it to the base or into the soil. At this point after flushingwhat should my ec be reading before and after feeding

I never used self watering bases… but i believe you put it into the soil.

@plumbdand I have seen zero instructions on flushing using the bases. What I would do, though, is…
Clean your base and whatnot, set it aside, and do your flush as you normally would so all the runoff can be discarded. Let them dry out a tad, and go just like you are using the bases the first time. Maybe a half strength top feed with the same nutrients you put in the base so numbers are fairly even in the base and soil.

So I was doing some research on droopy leaves.
“Potassium has a role to play in maintaining turgidity of stomatal guard cells. Turgor is the pressure exerted by water inside the cell of the plant. A sufficient level of turgor pressure should be maintained so that the plant keeps growing. Without sufficient turgor pressure within plant cells, plants will wilt.”
Could it be that these plants genetically have a higher demand for potassium but don’t show it with discoloration but by wilting? Unless there is a big deficiency.
I know under/over watering can also produce this but seeing as it’s almost universal from all growers here that probably isn’t the cause. I also haven’t seen much of a change with more or less ppfd.
@plumbdand I wonder if that could be a partial cause of your plants issues as well.

Everyone seems happy in the new pots and soil. Should have the sexing done soon. And some real spring sun growth. It’s getting warmer.

Those aren’t numbers I would be really concerned over. 13+ is a little high, but shouldn’t be too much to burn them up or lock them out

That 1315 is 1.3 EC not bad range for this stage
650 ppms on 5 scale or 910 on 7 scale
Gotta specify in what ways the meters read easy to misunderstand numbers otherwise

Then @plumbdand you should be good to go! I think I may have to clean one of my bases. Either the fill level gauge got stuck or she didn’t eat hardly anything the last 24hrs.

The only thing with auto pots I’ve seen about flushing is doing it the traditional way, just extra thorough.
Sub irrigation/bottom feeding it’s recommended to run lower feed strength then top feed. This can help mitigate a need to flush.

I’d never push over the 2 EC range this particular chart recommends unless top feeding infrequently.

I think I subconsciously knew not to feed heavy. I’ve wanted to turn it way up for them, but have stayed under 1050 every fill-up. They eat like it’s their 600lb life lol
