Just a quick update so I gave them compost tea 48 hours ago then felt the pots today two were dry already
So I flushed them both and the run off was 6.9 and 7.0 I believe the tea fixed my soil ph because I was getting a poor run off ph reading of 5.5 and 5.0 just last wensday.
What do you guys think??

Yeah; high intensity lights make the plant calcium hungry. You would be wise to run some cal mag at max dose for a week or two.

Yes this is low but not out of range to cause lockouts.

I see some clawing along with the C def but your runoff of 750 ppm seems a bit low. I would certainly advise supplementing at this point with soil salt levels that low.

Thank you for the clarification! One small misunderstanding is that my water I’m feeding them is 750 ppm and my run off is anywhere between 3000 and 3500.

Way too high. This value should be somewhere around 2,000 ppm in soil at this point. A flush would likely be a good thing to do.

Big question? I have only fed them three times technically. I jumped from 250ppm to 750ppm because they were in pre flower not understanding that I could of start feeding much earlier. My question is what’s a save rate to ramp up the feeding to these lady’s there in week 5.

On it my friend thanks.

I have samples of Runoff of the two plants from the flush last night.The ppm was much lower reading at 1630 and 1700. I was wondering do I start feeding them on there next watering or do I wait?

Monitor runoff at every feeding and if it’s below 2,000 ppm in soil, supplement. I would not go over about 1,100 ppm with flowering nutes at this point. When TDS creeps up over 2K, water only until it drops down again. No real need to flush after initial reset.

LOL, i would love to learn from others mistakes also, but i always seem to be so busy making my own.
