I’m in my 3rd week of flower.
I’m using FFOF, FF Tiger Bloom, Grow Big & Big Bloom. Using nutes according to FF feed chart. My ppm is like above 3000 yet my pH is like 6.2 or 6.3!! I’ve been reading alot of posts and it seems it’s not an uncommon issue.
I’ve been watering w’tap water that I boil & let sit overnight & I’ve added House & Garden Drip Clean but I’ve only watered with that once. The ppm is still very high.
My question is is the high ppm affecting my yield & if so, is what I’m currently doing help in lowering my ppm? Should I get some Foxfarm Sledgehammer or is the Drip Clean suffice?
Also should I be using any foliage spray rn?!
Thanx ahead of time y’all!!

Welcome ! I think your plants look good 2,3,4 pictures not showing any nute burn or problems.

Thank you!! I think I’m going to just feed them molasses water from here moving forward. I don’t think I need to add anymore nutes.
Should I use a foliar spray?

Personally I don’t like using foliage spray. Looks like your plants are getting close to the lights you’re going to need to get creative an pull and tie some of the limbs down. maybe raises lights a little more.

Yeah, that’s what I’m gonna do again today. They’re growing like weeds!!

I would keep following up with checking the PPM runoff. an when it comes down you will need to support the flowering stage with some Bloom nutes.

Should I use H & G Drip Clean, FF Sledgehammer or neither?
Your TDS is high but the plants are tolerating it pretty well so far. At some point they will fall off their demand for supplements at which point the media should probably be down around 1,500 ppm in the runoff. That’s a pretty safe place to be with soil. Your lights need to be quite a bit above to get the edge coverage. Likely you are going to be short of light and will affect yield.
Plants look good; you’ve been a good weed Momma.

TY!!
I’ve gotta figure out a clever LST way to get those taller plants “calmed down”. Not too familiar w’scrog but I think it may be too late to use that.
Yeah; training should have happened some time ago. Likely the plants have all hardened off now and won’t respond well to severe bending stress. I usually SCROG when plants are around 12" high.
A lot of the upward growth you have is due to inadequate light IMO and might be wise to look at adding some photons to the grow space.

Yah, I’ve been LST’ng them but you’re right, there isn’t adequate enough light. Weird cuz’ the shorter plants are doing fine. I’m not surprised, they’re different strains.
Look at Horticulture Lighting Group, California Lightworks, CHILled Logic, Gavita and others. If you are in a hot climate or have to maintain cooling stick with LED’s. If you are in a fairly mild climate or cold one you might look at MH/HPS, CMH or LEC for your lights. The thing is you simply can’t cheap out on light for cannabis if you want rock hard nugs.

Welcome to ILGM this lights would be a huge upgrade from what you are currently using.
What size tent is that?
Someone mentioned I should get a proton light? What is that?
I was actually looking into Gavita but I don’t like how you’ll need an adapter & controller but it’s a few hundred bucks more.
I want a light that’s a “one stop shop” kinda LED light. One full cycle/spectrum light. Also concerned about the heat & which would raise up my electric bill more
These were the 2 I was looking into.
I’m currently using a 4 x 4. Like I said, someone mentioned getting proton lights, what are those?
And TY!!
I’m going to @ a few friends to help.

Maybe a proton pro? If so, you don’t need or want that.
The gavita is nice light. I don’t think you necessarily need the controller to run light, that’s why its not included. It does seem silly to buy without though.
If you like that style of light, growers choice, chilled tech, and fluence all have similar models.

I like the Gavita too but, you’re right, it doesn’t seem right getting the lights w’out the needed extras.
What do y’all think of the lights I just posted?
And TY y’all so much for your help!!
