John's Wicked New Grow

[Smeegol]

Sorry to hear bout the ribs, but if ya had been carrying coco it would of softened the bully goat blow....some sincity kush should help ease the pain as it helps for my back brother...

I can't offer up to much advice on coco mr.Wick although I've been using it close on 4 months now as the nutes range you guys get differ vastly than ours and I was up and down with probs cause of ph range but @ItsTommyGunnz suggested I try a ph of 6 as that's the sweet spot for nutrient uptake with coco and he was correct as I haven't struggled since.....

I've also got 2-3 ogk seeds which I'm thinking bout doing this season as its a wicked smoke all round...

Thanks for the Ph tip on the Coco Mr Smeegs. That's very much appreciated.
I'm holding off on the Coco grow until I can fund a top rate PH a PPM tester.
Uncle Sam want his taxes paid first, so after that I'll get my tester and it will be full steam ahead with the Coco.
I hope this note finds you in excellent health.

Well it's my turn to blow it. For the first time ever, I fed FF Big Bloom (earthworm castings and bag pool) a " general feeding, 4 tablespoons/gal.
I had been feeding 3.5 TBL/gal for the last month with very positive effects. Not this time, two of the four girls have a difference of opinion. Their leaves are starting to yellow after 24 hours of receiving the nutts. pH, 6.1.
Anyhow, I know I need to do a flush so I pH water at 5.9.
I use @Emilya 's method of watering and the 6 gal pots don't need water probably for 2 more days.
The question is, do I flush now when they don't need it or do I wait. My gut says now, could use more options right now from thought that know.
Thanks folks; n advice.

I feel ashamed.

I would like to see a picture of what is going on before you do this thing, assuming that flushing is the fix for what is wrong. I will submit that there is practically no way to overdose on Big Bloom... even at the dosage you gave them. If you wish to dilute it, come back in today with a gallon of pH adjusted water. I seriously doubt you need to flush because of this.
May I suggest instead that you are at the wrong end of the 5.5-6.1 scale to pick up all of the needed nutrients. Try 5.5 one time, or if you are timid, even 5.8pH. There is a world of difference between being in the middle of the scale and out on the far reaches as you seem to want to be and this definitely could be the cause of multiple deficiencies.

I feel like a bad parent.

Thank you @Emilya , photo Bel and I have one at 5.9 now, so I'll try to get it at your recommendation before I flush.
I loved your way of watering thank you for taking your time to address this.
Standing by.

How about 5.6, that's as close as I can get with a drop kit.

I know it sounds weird to of Big Bloom, but nothing else has changed in my novice indoor program. So that sas to be the
culprit.

After I pay the second round the property taxes around here I am definitely going to get a Middle to top end digital pH and PPM meter.
Water is life period.

Did you switch from Fox Farms soil?

 

[Emilya Green]

Did you switch from Fox Farms soil?

Thats actually a very astute question. Are you using FF hydro or soil nutes?

 

[John Wick]

Oops, yes FFO.
I just tested run off of both girls with two different test kits (both drops) and run off is 5.8.

 

[John Wick]

Did you switch from Fox Farms soil?

Hi Ms. V, thank you for stopping by during this most difficult times. I haven't changed anything, still using FFO soil.
I appreciate the question, because I should have wrote it.

[John Wick]

I'll be back in a minute, it's feeding time.

egads...
I thought someone was advising you as if you were growing in coco. If you are in FF soil, Ocean Forest, your pH needs are much different than what I advised up above and what you are presently doing. Now I have no question in my mind that your problems are all related to your pH being adjusted incorrectly and some misconceptions about growing in soil.

First of all, your range is 6.2-6.8pH. In FFOF you need to carefully adjust your pH every time, with every fluid that hits your soil, to 6.2-6.3 pH.

if you just got back from feeding and have read that your pH was all wrong... no problem. Now you can flush, and this is a good reason for a flush of 3x water through the plant, and for that last bit, mix up some more nutes at the proper pH and run that through.

Okay, so I'm going to have to flush again, now?
I understand what just happened so now I should get the PH up?
So fish once more with water at the right PH and then mix up so water with nuts at the right PH and give them that too?
I'm confused

 

[Emilya Green]

I would just mix up a container sized amount of nutes and run that through.... the correct pH will reset the container and all should be fine from then on.
