As promises. My new tent for veg. Now filled with clones and 3 seedlings. HLG 300L B-spec. So freaking excited to now have a veg and flower tent!!! Older girls are doing ok. Over watered like an idiot.

need help fellas and ladies!!!
Strain; Critical Bilbo Type bought from Homegrown Cannabis
Age from Sprout: 7 weeks
Soil- FFOF mixed with coco- 5 gal fabric pots
How often do you water and how do you determine when to do so? every 3 days, I use a moisture meter and go knuckle deep to feel, was lifting pots until net went up.
PH of water and runoff or solution in reservoir: 7.0 this go round, aquarium water, no run off due to using a sprayer to water.
What is strength of nutrient mix? EC, or TDS: This water (today), I added .5ml of silicon, 1.0ml of Calmag, 1 tsp of Beastie Bloomz, as I think I had potassium and iron deficiency.
Indoor in 3x3 tent
Light system, size and height from plants: HLG 300L R-spec, approx 20" from plant.
Temps; Day-76F Night: around 72F
Humidity; Day 54%, Night: 52%
Ventilation system; Yes, No, Size:
AC, Humidifier, De-humidifier: humidifier-currently off due to spiking RH to like 80%
Co2: no
I was doing a 6.1 ph level as recommended by some, but I felt it was too acidic so I decided to use 7.0 aquarium water mixed with above nutes this go round to see any difference. I never had any issues with this plant before I used Sledgehammer as according to Fox Farms. I do not use their nutes, I use Canna Vega A, Calmag, Rhizotonic, Cannazym and Armour Si. Thats all. I got some Beastie Bloomz for the nutes that aren’t in Canna Vega A. I have not been using nutee, due to having FFOF. I feel the FFOF is running out of it’s nutes, but I have no clue.
PICtURES to follow
They look underfed in general. Not sure what you used to judge ph of 6 was too acidic? But ph lockout could make the plants show deficiency too. Hard to say without ph and ppm in vs out data.
Kinda makes sense you are seeing issue though. You flushed plants according to fox farms schedule, but you’re not using fox farms nutrients. You weren’t feeding expecting the soil to feed plants, but you ran soil flush on them which will strip nutrients.
Makes sense, how do I get runoff when I spray water them with a fine mist. I just gave them canna vega A last watering and it just made it worse. I’m at a loss here.
Also I used the Marijuana grow Bible to get the 7.0 ph level. I’ve been doing 6.1. Last ppm runoff reading was high IMO at 2200.
ok got a good water till runoff in, with nutes. Heres the numbers I got.
-961 ppm in, 6.1 ph
-2145 ppm out, 5.3 ph out
I would flush with water ph’d between 6.5-7 until you get steady runoff with ph over 6 and ppm +/-1000. From there just try to keep in that range.
awesome thank you so much for all the help, I really do appreciate it.
