I would not use that feed solution as the nutrients are now locked up in those flakes that fell out of the water. This is the reason nutes come in multiple bottles, they don't play very nice with each other sometimes.
Things that might help:
- add the cal-mag to plain water first and let it settle for a bit (I wait about 10 mins, or more if I forget) before adding nutes.
- Stop feeding half strength.... full strength might be too much but your plant clearly says half is not enough.
- you may need a better way to test pH because it shouldn't be going that far down. You state half strength but you didn't state actual measures, are you using the GH feed schedule?
- ditch the ppm measuring, it's not very helpful for a soil grown plant. Is that the problem I wonder, are you using ppm feeding numbers (hydro) ?
It is too late to make the plant pretty again, but you can stop the damage from worsening (probably).
The Nute solution was fine till I had to add allot of PH UP..thts when the water clouded up and got those crystallized chunks..recently seen tht adding PH up Directly to solution caused a chemical reaction, and to mix ph up in plan water separately, then add tht to you Nute water stops this…gonna try here later.
Yh, I know she won’t get pretty again, the damage is done. But hoping to get to finish line with still some good smoking buds.
I have throat problems due to many years of acid reflux/Gerd tht give me throat Ulsers.,(throat scaring/narrowing, n dysphasia) Very painful, unable to eat/speak, and especially smoke. I mention this as hearing tht stopping feeding near harvest and flushing will give u buds tht are milder on yr throat/lungs.
What I seen read the most is to stop feeding plants 1-2weeks out, flush 1week b4 harvest will make plant use up all Nutes in the buds, making for a softer/smoother hit tht won’t burn yr throat.
Ppl have ask me “why not use yr bud to make edibles?, well…I know tht be better for my throat/lungs, but I hate gettn high tht way. Giving tht I have Anxiety if get to high, thts harder to judge what’s enough. where as with a hit or two I can feel it immediately and be like “I’m good”. Also I don’t like how a high lasts a super long time with edibles. I like to get a buzz, come down within a hour, so as to enjoy smoking again.
I live alone, never had kids, no family, and social anxiety, so I spend everyday, at home, Gettin high all day n night (well, I prefer a mild buzz over intense high) So a high tht lasts hours (to me) sucks, gets old/boring. So basically I like Micro dosing…gettn a buzz here n there though out the day/night. (Revealing some personal stuff here, embarrassing living this Anxiety/ agoraphobic life.)
