Not to change the subject, but ok, was just checking. I'm doing fine with fabric pots so far but we'll see. Status of the roots still remains to be seen. I haven''t got the salt stains taco got. I definitely don't water large amounts and get next to no runoff. I'm in soil. Don't know if Taco is or coco? I nute every other time I think at 800ppm. What ppm you watering taco? Or maybe the stain is something else in your tap? Do you keep reusing your fabric pot over and over and if so did you wash it between? I'm just asking because maybe that stain is a good clue to look into further. I mean white could be a salt. Wonder what else is different about the flora line. Was the stain with flora or with floranova?

Other than the salt build up I like the fabric pots.I am also in soil. I've been thinking i was feeding at 800 ppm but I don't think thats very accurate considering I have 2 different meters that read 2 different things and I checked the runoff water and it's at a very high 2090 ppm and my ph is 6.3. I don't reuse my fabric pots cause I haven't found a proper way to wash them yet and I was using the floranova with the fabric pots.

I was kind of successful foliar feeding epsom salt or H&G magic green at about 250 ppm in my sprayer. One or the other every three days. Till about the middle of flower.

Me I ddint do it every three days as soon as it got turned around a litttle I got slacky. Put it in flower and it yellowed out in less than two weeks.

Its good smoke if you have a good strain of it not worth it though imo I got rid of it. Post a pic of your gsc.

Its a bitch to grow. thats whats wrong with it. Up your microbe game up the ppms a little foliar feed something along with the two mentioned maybe a product like foliage pro might help not all three products just Epsom salts then come back a couple of days later and do one of the other products. Foliar feed at 250 ppms not too hot.

Taco,
I believe that would be best...with a history of multiple deficiencies and heavy feedings.

Use some epsom salts in your flush and maybe a tiny bit of nutrients. 3 to 4 times pot size.

Lighter feedings started after a couple of days of rest.

If you're saying your runoff is 6.3 I wonder what is making it that. I've only been doing this a little while and I don't know my soil pH per say but if I put in 6pH water my runoff came out 7pH. I think the same should happen if you put in 8pH the runoff would be 7. So if you're runoff is 6.3 I think either your water is really low pH like 5, or your soil is really low pH, like 5 or lower. So I wonder what's up with that? With such high ppms it's likely something that lowers pH too. So the flushing I think is good and just a guess but maybe add lime that raises pH. Just my 2 cents.

oh and I was going to try washing my fab pots in the washing machine after picking the roots out. I hope that works.

I'll look into that a little more. I have a soil ph meter that I'll check when I get home
