Sounds like nute burn and lockout due to excessive salt buildup to me. Less ppm's, more frequency.
Week 6 problems please help this keeps on happening
- Thread starter Cousinbob
- Start date
Just gave em all 4 gallons of 550 ppm and raised the pots got a good gallon or more run off hopefully it helps

Ten gal pot, id water in tub and go for 5 gal runoff. Just ph ed water Then go back to feeding pretty sure your root system is hurting a little bit. Have yhey been in pot full grow or just flower?

my water is around 550ppm and 8 to 10ph, ive just started mixing 1 to 3 of bottled water to tap. My runoff is too high for pen l have, my feed tops it out and l dont overkill at all, try to feed half strength but 5gal bucket for res. Using Cyco commercial 20gr. In 5 gal, half teaspoon of raw calmag, teaspoon silica, dash of kelp flour nd a couple of drops of fulvic acid. Mollassas and a drop of labs. Lactic acid bacterium. Thats my secret flower remedy, also use dash of cool bloom at first feed in flower ph ed to 6.4 but lower like 5.4 every week or so. This lady is furthest along in my tent. She was about 8 inches tall when l put her into flower. Cant remember where she is atm, week 5 seems right. Cool bloom week 3 also. I chop and hang as soon as l see fit. Hang 7 days clean it up and mason jar it. Weed long gone before it gets fully cured. I support 3 others all cronics , myself as well. Smoke tastes good without too much flushing. I dont believe that plants need to flush unless you do something real bad to them.

Nice sound like you got it dialed in do you feel that the plants can go longer or take a little longer to fully mature with leds
Probably veged for a few week before switching to flower
So would you recommend not letting the pot get to dry between watering

probably wouldnt, every day or two l water cloth, outdoors l water outside of pot too. Promix hp feels wetter than it is, weigh a shitload too. Im not very big, lol hp is for high porosity which means lots of air.

l re amend my outdoor each year, lve got promix hp thats 8 years old and it grows nice plants every year. If you use nutrients you can reuse peat mixes.
Wow do you try flushing it clean? and removing old root systems

your root ball is probably so big that youd be suprised, l vegged two weeks in ten gal cloth and plants produced very well, watered every day sometimes two 5 gal for 3 ten gal cloth and one 2 gal and 3 4 gal plastic, 2 gal was only one to make it back from flower. Just remove taproot and whatever comes out easy. Dead roots decay and gas off nitrogen and phosphorus. So if you do you kinda lose what nutrients that another plant can use.

lf you look at it as feeding the microbes in your soiless mix, not feeding plants. The microbes break down the nutes for plants to use easier. Thats why l like RAW. You can control feeding easier than bottled. Microbes die if they dry out or go into survival mode. This isnt good for flowering plant. Think dwc, plants in water get huge. What is too wet? Water?
