@Lostgirl , sorry for hijacking that post, I wasn’t sure how to create a post of my own and only knew how to hit the reply button. I appreciate your feedback and helping me getting this figured out. My runoff is around 700 the same as what’s going in. I gave some calmag yesterday and three teaspoons of tiger bloom now my pH going in was 6.5 and my runoff was 6.35 to 6.4. yeah this is my first bro and I am just trying to get it right. Thank you for your help I’m going to post some pictures on one of my plans a lot of leaves have been turning brown and dying off lately.

Thank you for taking the time creating your own post. You’ll get better results this way! First off welcome. Unfortunately, I assist so many people in a single day then I forget a lot of the detail involved so let’s start from the beginning. This way we’re both on the same page. Also please note that the pictures above that you sent only one picture came out that is viewable.
Questions
Please answer each question to the best of your ability.
1.) these are autoflowers correct?
2.) what week of what stage are they in?
3.) what type of soil are you growing in? Does your soil have extra added perlite for better drainage?
4.) you’re using fox form trio nutrients correct?
5.) other than Fox farm trio, what other additives do you have like Cal mag etc?
6.)what type of water source are you using? (Tap water, RO water, etc)?
7.) when you test the pH of just your water what is your Waters pH?
8.) what is the PPM of just your water source (simply check the ppms of plain water)
9.) if I recall you’re growing in 3 gallon plastic pots do these pots have a significant amount of drainage holes?
10.) how many plants are you growing and are they all in the exact same stage?
11.) are your plans in a tent?
Upon the answering these questions please give me a brief statement as to what exactly your concerns are. Is it simply a single plant that is not doing well?
@legalgrow I thought that at first too. Someone else said that it wasn’t mildew just Frosty bud. I’ve been observing very close scared of mildew
get better close up photos so we can see
looks good to me from this angle, can you get a closer shot of the white frost? like zoom into the frost not the flower.
1.) these are autoflowers correct?photos
2.) what week of what stage are they in?week 6 of flower
3.) what type of soil are you growing in? Does your soil have extra added perlite for better drainage?ffof no added perlite
4.) you’re using fox form trio nutrients correct?yes, just tiger bloom and Big Bloom
5.) other than Fox farm trio, what other additives do you have like Cal mag etc? I have Bush doctor Cal mag, cultivation nationph up, I did feed them banana peel tea about 2 weeks ago along with a tablespoon of molasses
6.)what type of water source are you using? (Tap water, RO water, etc)? I use tap water some days and store-bought spring water
7.) when you test the pH of just your water what is your Waters pH? Out the tap it is like an 8.3
8.) what is the PPM of just your water source (simply check the ppms of plain water) out the tap my PPM is 280
9.) if I recall you’re growing in 3 gallon plastic pots do these pots have a significant amount of drainage holes? No, just the drainage holes that came with the pot
10.) how many plants are you growing and are they all in the exact same stage? I have two flowering in this room and two vegging in another room
11.) are your plans in a tent? Flowering plants are in a closet three and a half by two by seven
Thanks for answering the questions. Have you done any flushes yet. Fox farm trio requires what I believe is a 30-day maintenance flush with sledgehammer have you done this?
In the future stay away from these pots. Use grow bags. Also getting a habit of putting 4:1 perlite to your soul mixture. Drainage I’m sure it’s a slight issue.
Give me a minute I want to check your feed amounts for accuracy. Be right back
@Lostgirl yes I have two big grow bags that I just got waiting to put my vegging plants in it. Yeah it seems like drainage is a problem, I don’t think it’s affecting anything because I still get all the water to drain out but you can tell the water just sits on top of the soil sometimes
@Lostgirl I did a mini flush a few weeks ago when I gave nitrogen on accident, I did a big flush about 3 days ago when I noticed the nitrogen toxicity was still going on so I brought them in the bathtub and ran it under the water for a few minutes and then topped it off with my nutrients and yesterday when I watered I gave some calamag
I have not used the sledgehammer to flush though I just use plain water
@legalgrow okay I will do this when I make it home
Let’s start here. I see several problems. Lets concentrate on the plants that are giving you the issue I’m assuming this is the six week of flower plants.
Yesterday you feed 3 teaspoons of tiger bloom and some calmag. Why not Big Bloom and grow big?
My first observation is that you’re inconsistently feeding your plants improperly.
Drainage is more of a problem than you think with Fox farm trio nutrients due to the extremely high salt content.
These next questions are very very important.
1.) how often do you feed/water these two plants?
2.) are the runoffs of both of these plants within 100ppm of each other’s runoff numbers?
3.) are you allowing these plants to totally dry before watering again?
4.) tell me exactly what you feed both of these plants in their last two feeds
A.) Include the amounts of each nutrient that you fed.?
B.) what was the intake total feeds PPM and pH going in?
C.) what was the runoff PPM and pH?
Example
12/4 feed - plant #1
2 teaspoons Big Bloom
1 tsp grow big
1 tigerbllom
1teaspoon Cal mag
Total feed in 684 ppm
Ph in 6.5
Run off
780ppm
6.5 ph
I need this information if you have it for the last two feeds for the two plants in week 6 a flower
I know this is a lot of work. But rest assured we can fix anything
@Jayjay504 welcome to the family these gromies has you covered my friend happy growing

how often do you feed/water these two plants?
Everyday a gallon gets split between the two plants
2.) are the runoffs of both of these plants within 100ppm of each other’s runoff numbers?
Yes
3.) are you allowing these plants to totally dry before watering again?
Yes
4.) tell me exactly what you feed both of these plants in their last two feeds
11-18-24/ 3 teaspoons of tiger bloom 3 teaspoons of Big Bloom and one teaspoon of calamag
11-17-24/3 teaspoons of Big Bloom two teaspoons of tiger bloom
A.) Include the amounts of each nutrient that you fed.?
B.) what was the intake total feeds PPM and pH going in?
Not 100% sure but going in was 6.5 pH and around 700 ppm
C.) what was the runoff PPM and pH
6.35ph and like 670 ppm
how often do you feed/water these two plants?
Everyday, I do have days where they only get spring water
2.) are the runoffs of both of these plants within 100ppm of each other’s runoff numbers?
Yes
3.) are you allowing these plants to totally dry before watering again?
Yes
4.) tell me exactly what you feed both of these plants in their last two feeds
3 tsp tiger bloom 3 tsp Big Bloom and one teaspoon Cal mag one time
A.) Include the amounts of each nutrient that you fed.?
B.) what was the intake total feeds PPM and pH going in?
C.) what was the runoff PPM and pH
You say you did a big flush 3 days ago.
1.) Did you use tap water?
2.) How many gallons of water did you pour through each plant to flush?
3. Did you pH your flush water to 6.5 before you flushed it?
