After analyzing your mix, it's low on P and K, so brix will be hard to get high. Is that the plant that touched the light?I got up early today to take some brix readings just before lights off to see if that would make much difference in my results as I usually take them shortly after lights on for convenience.
Sadly, no joy.
The flowering plant is stuck at 11 with a moderately hazy line. It'll be ready for more water tonight so I'll go with dolo water up top again. Color is still a bit darker than would seem ideal and there were some leaves down low starting to yellow and were crispy which I removed to see if it would spread. I've been doing the dolomite at about 50 ppm but given your comments above I think I'll jack it up to maybe 75 ppm and see if there are any ill effects since it seems like I still need more than I've been giving it. This sounds like the chase you referenced earlier.
My CBG plant in the on-deck circle registered a solid 6 with a very sharply defined line. WTF?!??
That's down from 11 just before the tea, an 8 a couple of days later, and now 6. The castings tea seems to have put things in reverse. It's still not ready for another watering but, given the numbers , I think I'll give it some more castings up top and heavily mist them in.
That plant has the better green color that I expect and looks great so it's interesting that both meters say differently.
Maybe my meter is broken, or needs batteries. Or maybe I need a plug in version for more power!
