I use 2ml per week. Some do more often.
I’m using a water pump spray too water them I fill it with a gallon of water and was out half way trough watering am i going too have too mix tribus with each gallon of water? @Budz
should I be concerned about that one in the back left corner or do you think the leaves 
are fine @Budz
No. Just add it to one single gallon. Once a week. I usually add it to one “batch” a week. Which is three gallons. I use that on 3-4 plants at 2ml per gallon. Once a week. When I first introduced it I used 4ml/gal. Since some of my girls where already into flower. One time I couldn’t find my dropper and tried to carefully but slipped and probably added closer to 10ml… that’s the great thing about it tho. Even at 10x strength it’s not gonna harm your plants. It’ll harm your sense of smell and wallet tho. That stuff like liquid gold. If you click this guy’s name @Hellraiser and check his coco journal you’ll see he’s using 1ml/gallon every day.
Just do what feels right to you. Trust that I use a lot less water in my coco grows than most do. Because that works better for me. In my soil I build my rhizosphere and by weeks 5-6 in flower I actually do water every single day. But I don’t water to much run off at all. By the next day my top layer is dried. I get kind of a cycle but more importantly I let my colonies develope without being mostly washed every other day. Instead they take. Small hit daily and a boost once a week. But as I said. Everyone must find what works for them. I highly recommend reading hellraiser’s soil journal. Would probably hit summarize for the first read through, since otherwise it’s an information overload.

hey budz how am I able too test ppm in soil? @Budz
Next time you water cause atleast 10-15% run off, do if your soil holds a gallon, use 1.15 gallons. Discard the initial ~3-5% of said runoff and collect the rest in a clean drip pan. Test that. Dried up salts are mostly washed away in the first little runoff, these would falter your readings. Hence why it shouldn’t be used for measurements.
If you want to know root zone pH do a slurry test. Equal parts distilled water and medium put in a cup, stirred and let sit 24h. This is the only way to get an accurate root zone pH reading. You can’t get accurate numbers for both ppm and pH from one method. Unfortunately.

I’m going to do what you have mentioned next watering I will let it run let it run so I can collect water samples . and should it be the same for each plant 
or just test the run off from just one ? and also I feel like my one girl is looking bad or it might just be me ??image|666x500
@Budz
Every girl is different. So yes check all. That yellowing there is hunger. Which in your soil shouldn’t be happening yet unless the pH got thrown out.
I check ph balance in soil yesterday after I water them it was coming out about 6.5 @Budz
and on top of that the other ladies are looking just find umm transplanted them all at same time I water yesterday with tribus added too it and ph balance was 6.5 around there @Budz
Could be a little transplant shock. Honestly just gotta wait till you test ppm. Which I actually would seeing that.
If it’s only on the original fan leaves it’s leaf variegation tho. Which is just a genetic thing. Not an issue. The upper blurry leaves I thought where yellow around the edges too.
Here’s a good resource.
thank you 
for helping me out I put three samples of soil from pots it three solo cups with distilled water check and ppm
@Budz are these normal numbers or they low high I’m confused
again 
That’s not an accurate way to test ppm. You have to test run off.
Ppm is a measure of disolved solids. The only way to get an idea of this is to know the ppm of the water you are pouring in, then testing the water that comes out the bottom.
I hear you think I should start nutrients or give cal mag or just wait too check run off when I water them ? @Budz
With your soil combo I’d check runoff. I love fox farms happy frog but would never use ocean forest. Ocean forest is too hot for me, has been shown to not have consistent pH levels. Most likely from how hot it is. Sure they put myco in there too. Then they make it so hot it’s on the brink of killing the myco. Most won’t agree with me. But I don’t see much difference in ocean forest and miracle gro. One month (of feeds for two months, mg for 3)? Two heavy flushes (would probably wash away that extra month)? Same same, to me. I want to have control from day one. Neither FFOF or miraclegro offer that.
Don’t take that wrong. Don’t flush your girls. Just saying I don’t trust your medium enough to give advice without ppm measurements.
Plus. You just introduced Tribus. Meaning even if the myco did for some reason die off. You just added 10 billion colony producing units per ml. Altho I prefer tribus bloom because it’s 14 billion. Unimportant. Just bang for buck. Tribus is amazing no matter what one you choose. So I’d see what happens and just check ppms from next watering.
I hear you I’m using the tribus bloom I water them with gallon sprayer jug just supposed too water intill soil is moist correct?
does it happen too you my soil is drying out
fast I just water them yesterday @Budz
Are you watering at a gradual rate till runoff? If you water too fast in dried/crusty medium the water creates channels. Like rivers. That go straight to the drain holes. Meaning a portion of the medium is receiving no hydration. To answer your question directly, when watered to run off. My soil grows are dry on top the next day mid flower. During vegetative growth though, no.
ok so intill run off I have too use more water so do I up the doses of tribus if I’m using more water @Budz
