Hey @Buds Buddy ..gorilla glue looks to be a monster. Great job buddy.
I dont know much about MC but youre in great hands with @Emilya .
Very clean and organized grow area. Look forward to see how they turn out.
One love
Hey Thanks man !!! Yeah, Emilya got me through my 1st grow 3 years ago as a Newb. Using this MC I feel like a Newb all over again.

Everything changes/evolving with growing and ive been growing for some time but always learning new tricks from great helpful folks on here. We are all students with this great plant. :Namaste:
 
I think the GG will be fine after the flush since the run off came back 6.5. It's the Afghan I'm worried about the most because after 15 gallons of 6.4 pH water my run off pH should not be 7.5. Not sure what to do about it since the flush didn't take care of it. Know any way to lower the soil pH?
 
Runoff ph tells you very little. Be concerned with what’s going in.
So why is it that Run off pH doesn't tell you very much? Please elaborate because I surely don't understand this.
Especially since the Run Off is 7.5 & the plant is clawing badly. Almost seems like it's telling me my soil pH is too high & that's what the problem is. My thinking is if the soil pH is too high it has Salt build up from the nutrients that weren't used due to a nutrient lock out from pH being off.
There goes my logical thinking that may not even apply to growing ... LOL.
Let me know what you think.
 
Just Mega Crop. I was up to 6 grams per gallon. Backed off to 5.5 grams a week - 10 days ago with no change in the plant. It actually got more clawed. Now that I flushed it I was going to go back to 5 grams. Soil is FFOF.
I think you are on the right track... somewhere between 4.5 and 5 is where I found the sweet spot to be on my 3 plants.

Aminochelated nutes are a completely new thing. You can't expect an old technique designed to test levels of nutrients that remain in the soil, to be valid in the same way in this new vegan nutrient world. Nothing is going to seem like it is working like it used to work in the salt based nutrient world and while you were able to see that some of your nutes are not being used, the pH is a total unknown as to what it would normally be doing in one of these grows and how that would correlate back to the nutrients left in the soil.

This MC is some strange stuff. Gotta learn all over again.
 
I'm on my second full grow with MC and anything below 6 grams in full flower is too low. I'm on 6 grams @ 7 gallons for 4 plants and they're beautiful. Look elsewhere. pH is not your issue. I've been using MC for a while now never had any real pH issue. Also never had any type of toxicity. I'm not telling you to lower or raise your mc but I feed my plants with it liberally and have only ever experienced one deficiency on first grow. this isn't theory. This isn't untested. It's not an opinion. I've just never overfed with mc and I am using about 42grams per feed. With that being said I'm not in your grow room. It looks like N issues as I recognize it from on of my outside grows a few yrs ago. But could also be overwatering, genetic, temps. It's hard if I'm not there with you.

When I went to 6 grams I started having these issues. Been in Flower 4 weeks already. Backed off to 5.5 grams but didn't seem to help. They do look a slight bit better after the flush. A little more perky. Going back to 5 grams on 2 of the plants. that were having the N Tox. & keeping the Gorilla Girl at 6 grams since she's N Def. So apparently 6 grams is OK for some plants but not for all.

And not enough for some. I had a deficiency on one plant while feeding it 7.0. glad things are looking up for u.
