Roots Organics is great. 707 is lightly amended and great for seedlings. Just watch out for fungus gnats.

Overall plants look good, If not already time to be feeding Bloom nutes at about 900 PPM . Have you checked run off numbers PH and PPM . You can also use some bamboo sticks for support on limbs if needed.

I switched from FF to Roots Organic Original also Jacks 321 and have had better results no issues with Ph or anything else for that mater! Plants seem to love it. Oh ya never had to flush either.

Some of us use @Roadsideorganics.ok top dress. Just add life pretty much and water. If soil is thriving the ph range is much larger. Self regulates. Water only mostly and reuse soil. I start with just unammemded or lightly ammended organic potting soil/fish poop/perlite. Easy peasy. Cook 2 weeks. Plant. Never flush. Reuse. Over 2 years this batch. Original worms still thrive in it.

I’ve never had issues with FF…but i’ll hold off on another defense.
I use “Michigan Made Mix” and “SoHum” at the moment.

I see zero issues with these plants…what am i missing?
They are late flower…totally natural for the plant to consume its resources and drop leaves.

Ok then yes, that’s a bit of an early fade…too early.
What are your runoff ph and ppm readings? Have you flushed the plants at any time this run? It may be worth checking your readings and flushing if what you see coming out the bottom isn’t in the ranges you’re targeting.
Looks like they are gonna yield some serious nugs…i would have thought them past the 4 week mark. I used FF sledge hammer to flush when i was using FF…worked well.

Thank you for the tag @storm, here we are on day 42 of flower, ready for our third and final flower topdressing to finish off. Using some recycled soil from previous rounds that we just re amended at the start.

@BigBob1 I purchased a ebb and flow system (active aqua) has 55 gal drum that feeds a reservoir with a timer. I set it to water for 30 minutes every 4 hours. 8 plants drink about 35 gallons every 7 days. I put the nutrients in the barrel and change the water every 7-10 days. It’s much easier for me in every aspect. I add my nutrients, and ph my water afterwards and I’m done for a week I just set back and watch them grow.

I checked the soils ph with my 2 ph meters 5.2-5.4. Any thoughts on usuing hydrated lime in my water?
Those are really nice plants. I’ve seen ph levels from 5.5 to 7 that people use. If you look it up the ph information is like that too. I keep mine at 6 to 6.2 which I was taught was the target area to prevent lock out. Yours look awesome at your ph. I’ve never used hydrated lime.
