I have an auto that is on week 8 since it popped and week 4 of flower. The leaves are dying, it looks good otherwise.
20/4 light schedule, ff happy frog, 3 gallon, jacks 3-2-1 and great white. Thats it. Temps 70-80 humidity 45%, 2 fans and exhaust fan. 2 150w lights in 2x4x
I was flushing them, thats why plain water. I originally thought nute burn. Then the leaves started dying and the second plant started with the yellowing
Can live without a runoff meter but I learned the hard way cant go without a ph meter with synthetics. I use living soil which self regulates ph in a wide range so never check anymore but have totally destroyed plants with bad ph before. We are very high here…8.8 or so average out of the reservoir.
Continued luck and success Growmie. The TDS pen is needed for mixing nutrients to the correct level of parts per million and would come in handy right now diagnosing your plant through the run off. When you’re using salt based fertilizer, feeding to run off is critical! This helps rinse the salts away that have accumulated in the root zone and medium. A build up of this can drive the PPMs up and the PH down preventing nutrient absorption and can resemble a deficiency or toxicity in the plant and without knowing the run off PPMs it’s a guessing game
I’ll order one then. I also forgot to mention that i left out the epsom salt on these 2. I noticed salt buid up on the last run so i figured id try without epsom…if that makes any difference
just meant I have gotten by without doing the runoff before organic. Good to have but I believe ph kills faster than a nute issue. just me. Can always flush but once locked out more difficult to getem back.
I don’t think you have a lack of nutrients, I think you’re locked out. Many many reasons that could be.
Without ppm testing you will be going at it blind.
Epson salt is just one of the elements that could show that. I generally feed epson at 1-1.2 grams per gallon. An excellent source for magnesium and sulfur
