Been doing a good watering. My ph going in is good. I adjust my ph this last watering to 6.9 for my runoff last water was 5.5. Not sure why I have all yellow leaves and in the too with brown. Been feeding as levels needs. In week 6 in happy frog. My light is 18 inches up. The yellowing i noticed a few days ago. Getting worse. I feed Nutes every other watering. I write it on my callender so keep track. This grow has been crazy.
I think he has more going on than cal mag deficiency. His runoff was 5.5 using 6.9 going in. Wonder if the early feedings locked them out with that ph……
I definitely would to reset that media, flushing soil sucks but it’s the only to get those salts out now! I’d run 6.5 ph water thru them until ph comes up to at least 6.4 and follow with a half strength feed as the flush will flush nutes out too. Then let them dry out before resuming feed at less EC than before.
So go ahead and fluch tilli get a 6.4 ph runoff. Then use half dose of my nutes right after flush then let dry. Or wait till dry then run half nutes. I am using lotus at bloom 1.5 tsp boost 0.25 tsp right now.
Actually i had used fox fox nutes at the begining and got lockout i believe. I hated themso i flushed and switched to lotus. But i didnt do a good flush like i should have. Was told only 3 jugs Guess i need to do a complete flush then. Like 15 jugs
Ok thank you. Ive done some research but hard to find. Do a few take a break do a few take a break and so on. Thank you. I will do this flush then. Ive been told its a job. I had to add more soil when did a 3 gallon flush
Just keep checking runoff numbers as you flush, you can see them come back in line and stop flushing and give them a half strength feed right after, PHd at 6.5
I wouldn’t use the runoff’s pH as a criterion. If you’re trying to flush salts, ppm makes more sense.
Try to get 20% (or so) of the amount of liquid you add back as runoff each time and measure its ppm. You’re looking for the ppm to stabilize. When it does, you’re done.
Don’t be surprised if it drifts down and then jumps up. I believe that’s a sign you’ve begun dissolving the accumulated salts, but that’s just my idea.
