Not a clue yet just order my meter a few days ago

I differ here. I see no need to water till run off in nutrient filled soil. Seems to me you are washing out the nutrients. How old are these that your already giving them nutes and in FFOF as well. That seems pretty hot?

You’re locking out and have pH issues that low.

I’d top dress with some gardeners lime. Then I’d do a flush with properly pH’d water. Since your runoff is pH 5, I’d start out with a good 8-10gallons @pH 6.8. Let it sit an hour, pour another quart through and measure pH.
Let us know how that goes.

Ideally your soil pH would be at 6.5.

Fox farm nutes build up salts in the soil. Watering til runoff helps wash them out.

What salts? The nutrients already in there or nutes being added?

Salt buildup from added nutes.

That’s why following fox farm’s flush schedule is so important.

I never have to add nutrients to my dirt based medium so I suppose that’s the difference.

In my experience of ffof I don’t add nutes until 3-4 weeks in.

If you’re growing in living/super soil it’s best not to water until runoff. You’re correct there.
Ocean forest with fox farms nutes is not alive.

Between the ph runoff being crazy low and distilled water possibly leaching and maybe just mayyybbeee adding nutes a little too early I feel these plants will be fixed in no time! A good flush and water switch🤙

That one is one month and three days old since first leave. I gave nutrients for the first time end of the third week. (technically were already a month in the soil) she took a week to sprout.

Scared to flush. is my first time. I just put it under the faucet or what :face_with_raised_eyebrow::man_facepalming:t4:

Do you have any large buckets, or containers? You’ll want to fill them with tap water and let sit out at least overnight.

Slowly pour the water into the soil a quart at a time. Add water, let sit a few minutes, add water, let sit, etc. It takes a while. I’d put the plant in the tub or sink All that water will have to drain somewhere.

Since your tap pH is at 7.5 it won’t take a tremendous amount to drop it to 6.8.

Calcium is a non mobile nutrient in cannabis . If your new growth is healthy I’m betting you have a magnesium deficiency. Make sure your ph is in range and add some Epsom salt

Also. Ocean forest is really nutrient rich right out of the bag. One seldom needs to add nutes, (other than calcium or magnesium) before the end of month 2. Just for future reference.

I did get a batch of low pH ocean forest a few months back. I don’t measure immediately, but after a month of normal growing my soil pH began dropping below 6.0. Good thing I monitor runoff and got it before anything bad could happen.

Will definitely start later in the life cycle next time around. Might avoid all this…
