@F100 if you are wanting to keep it simple, dry nutrients is the way to go. Alot of folks use jacks 321, i use Coast of Maine.
I do believe you need to following a flushing schedule with those nutes. @Mwsubway
Thanks for your input. I will definitely research the dry nutrients that you spoke of.

@ChittyChittyBangin so just watered with about 7.4 ph water at ppm of 57, run off was 1870 ppm and 5.9 ph! so plant is starting to look better thanks. should I feed next watering with high ph or more like 6.5ph?

Sorry dude, out of town for work. I would water again reg tap water, check your ph and ppms. I think after one more water only you shoould be ready to feed.
If I was you I would do a flush until you reach a steady ph. Thatās just me but that big of a differenceā¦.your plants are probably already soaked so you might as well do a full flush with phd water.
No problem!

so have watered again ph water 6.9 and collected runoff and the results 5.8 ph and 953ppm.
Stills to be getting worse! I have two lights on this plant about 300 watts could that be the problem? I did add another 100watts before this grow is only thing that I have changed thinking I may have needed it
correction 340 watts of light
Whats your str8 tap ph ? I would also feed.
Sorry bro, im slammed at work and havent been online.

You need to do a thorough flush of your medium. At least two times the volume of your pot. Iām not sure how well your medium drains but at this point you might be water logging your plants. You have a ph issue and probably a salt build up and nutrient lockout.
If you do not flush the medium fully, this problem will probably not get better

I agree with @Formerbrew i had issues in soil until the runoff ph got up to around 6.5. I would flush with water at 6.5 to 7.0 until your runoff gets close to 6.5. Mine took 3 times the pot volume.

Awesome. Another rule of thumb I was told ā¦ā¦just in case is to not water right before lights out.

thanks
so the question is will this still produce? it a auto and in the 9 week!
so I ended up flushing with ten gallons of water ph 6.9 and didnāt get runoff above 5.5 so I ran tap water into it until I got ph 6.1. Then followed up with the last gallon of tap water I have left over night and fed it 1093ppm. which runoff was 6.3 ph 343 ppm and left it at that! Hopefully I didnāt @#$% it up! @Formerbrew @ChittyChittyBangin

Awesome. Wait and see what happens. I would let it get almost bone dry before watering again. I had almost exact same thing happen and what you just did seemed to straighten them out. Good job.
So 5 days from flush, added microbes. watered today with nutes at 1180 ppm 6.5ph,runoff 1210ppm and 5.8 ph! its looking little better but its 1n ten weeks now and I think it should be flowing! it is a auto! should I flush again or just try to water and feed at higher ph? @Formerbrew @ChittyChittyBangin
