Flushing due to nute lock out

[postie28]

hi all, im new to all this im on my 1st grow in soil, ive had issues with nute lock out, i wasnt aware of the ph in the early stage im in my 6th week of flowering and now using ph water, but my run off is still too high, i flush yesterday for the 1st time plenty of nute ran out, but i dont think its enough am i safe to do it again or shall i wait for things to settle, before flushing again, there seems to be stale ordur coming from the tent aswell, otherwise plants don't look too bad i have 2 fans an exhaust im running 2 x 600 hps, help appreciated, many thanks

Hi: how do you know it's nute lock-out?

hi m8 cos the soil is too akaline i wasnt using ph water in the beginning i have used ph water in only the last 3 or 4 waters and the markings on the leaves matched to the deficiency chart theyre actually looking better today since the flush i was puting ph 6 to 6.5 through but getting ph 7.5 out, i have tested the soil with a soil tester and its reading slighty acidic now which is great but im not sure if i got all the old nute out in the flush.

Ah-ha wise decision to check charts it works for me best too. Ph can be balanced by letting tap water sit out overnight but you probably know that already. cheers.

forgot to add as long as you let run off (draining) you can see the water kinda brownish and that's flushing out the ferts.
