Bottom 1.5 trade gal is 5 parts Ocean Forrest to 1 part Cocoloco with perlite.
Top 1.5 trade gallons is Happy Frog.
Yes
Runoff was at 5.
It drops to 5 then I flush with 7.5 to 8 ish tap.
Feed it again and move on.
I’m starting two new plants today.
Both auto flowers

I had basically the exact same problem with my FFOF during veg. I did a big flush with ph’d tap @ 7. Brought ppm’s down to below 1000. All feedings next 2 weeks (nutes or plain) @ 7. Once my runoff was mid 6’s started ph’ing to 6.5.
I did this on the advice of others here on my grow journal. I think the flush was exactly what it needed. I did not immediately reset nutes cuz used so much water in the flush. Things look really good right now i think.
When in doubt, flush to raise ph. All the reading I have done basically says most important factor is ph. Then light. Maybe the other way around.
PS. Im done with foxfarms products after this. Overpriced imo. After a month the nutes contained in the soil are gone anyway no?

Correct, about a month is about all it has in it before light feeding begins.
I tried ProMix for herbs, I hate it.
Not for me, I’ll never purchase another ProMix item whatsoever.
I’m done with FF nutes, my Flying Skull Nutrients are in! And I’m doing the elite feeding program this time!!
Im going to pH my water at 7.5 to get it up n keep it that way. When I flush, I flush til Im at 300 ppm, then feed them.
I put it on a stand and feed to a run off, takes an extra day to dry out but it’s ok.

The light that I ordered for my new grow space has a 7x7 footprint for veg.
I’m building a 5 foot by 10 foot grow room, with an expected operating time of January 2027.
Until then I ordered also a cheap tent to use til then. It’s a 4x4 from Temu
But the two 100 watt lights are enough for Auto Flowering plants in that space under 200 watts.
I know a dude who grows with flood lights so I’m not sold on that wattage shit .I’m looking more at ppfd and the footprint not watts.
It’s a sales gimmick that millions of know it all’s claim as truth..
i can grow weed in a bar ditch. Sadly enough if it were not for bar ditches I would not know how to drive.

Yes, I have a personal favorite now, it’s called Titan F1. From Royal Queen Seeds.
It’s the best weed I have ever smoked, and I made multiple mistakes along the way.
I’m gonna always run some Auto Flower plants, but I’m kinda following some guys here and building a suitable place to grow photos.
Also, Milky Way F1 was great. Lots of cool colors in flower.
I’m expecting my micro grow to be excellent weed, Runtz is gonna be a low grade weed because of ME, nothing else, but these guys lined me out, so this new grow starting in a few hours will be much better

For real huh?
I’ve only had a few autos to smoke, so my experience is limited, but there is not better weed than Titan F1.
It’s some knock you the F down and have your ass eating your dirty laundry if you run outta food

FYI:
When I started growing it was a closet. And I put aluminum foil hung with Scotch tape to reflect the light on all the walls and some on the floor. I think it would be better then just white walls. Your set up is working fine. But any tweaks to get the light to the whole plant better can do nothing but help. I grew some nice plants that way. Happy Growing!

I think the white paint for me, is safer as it eliminates hot spots and is up to 80% reflection if you apply several thick coats.
Thanks for the kind words.
I am here to be open to instruction, and so far, it’s been great.
I’m in no rush because this is goin to be my new craft..
I can build alot of stuff. I excell in anything I’m interested in.

if everything goes right then yes
It looks great as long as you are growing healthy pot 
- Oscillation is the key for fans.
- I put any mirrors that will fit safely on the floor to reflect light under the leaves.
- Enjoy growing.

Yeah, no mirror for me, that seems awful dangerous in general, a hot spot from a powerful led can burn a hole in metal if it’s there long enough.
I strictly suggest mylar panels

I did something similar, we also used a shitload of florescent tubes. Later we found out that flat white paint was actually superior for light reflection, and that street lamps worked way better. But… they were hot. Ergo… we did it in a garage! Mike got the big idea to install bathroom fans! Worked good but loud! Heck when we first started growing pot in the late 70s, we didn’t even know we had to let it flower lol! We were smokin the leaves! I shit you not! Later some dude told us " no dude ya gotta let em go to flower " we did but we didn’t know how long to flower em, and we were Jonesin’ for some weed.. hence the plants died prematurely! 
They were fun times in Central Cali.

Yeah, did the same the first outdoor.
Bout the time we could see any shine(trichs)on the buds we chopped, trimmed, dried in the oven at 240 degrees like u do to decarb.
Honestly, we got kinda hi, it tasted like shit, it smelled like hay, but we grew it
Last time I grew with him, I harvested without him cause he died in the county jail of a massive heart issue before he could bond out.
JT. Lol we had a 6’ tall water bong called JTs Widow Maker to take to his grave side annual celebration we did for multiple years.
I haven’t been there since 2015.
My dad used purple lights in a closet..
Old school people know this fancy shit can be hype
Some is legit. Alot is hype, but I am gonna use some of that fancy shit in my grow room. That I can’t do quickly.
A year is a good goal. A SMART goal .
