Starting feeding nutes too soon PPM 4000

[Cubbie420]

I started feeding my autos that are in FFOF soil too early. I read bad info and fe
d Grow Big at the end of week 3, about a 1/2 teaspoon in a gallon. This was only one feeding the rest was phed water with cal-mag.

Today I gave phed water only and tested the runoff. It was 3900 ppm. What can I do next to help my plants to recover from over feeding?

Don't worry about runoff. And Big Bloom is mild. It should be fine.

My bad it was grow big...does that make a difference

Ya they're different. Big Bloom is a mild organic and Grow Big is chemicals.

Any pics?

I fed two days ago,slight nute burn on the tips of the leaves of one so far.

You could start by measuring what you put in ppm/EC, rather than trying to measure runoff.

I will moving forward. This is my second grow and I'm still learning a lot by fuck up. We're at the end of week 4 and showing preflower. Should I flush? Since it's so high?

 

[twentyeight.threefive]

No. Not sure why people are checking runoff in soil, especially since they aren't showing any issues.

Slight nute burn lol. And people in the threads giving conflicting information.

Do not flush. Just give plain water in sufficient volume so that the entire load is wet.

Where do you see slight nute burn?

The girl front and far left on the leaves of the new growth on the main cola. Just noticed it this morning

Also the stems look redish

Ive always wondered what my cooked organic soil would read in runoff ppm,assuming it just what's in this guys soil thats reading so high? Unused organics will turn to salts won't they giving the high runoff ppm?
Ive seen this FF soil,looks like it came from a field behind the barn lol.

What's your water source and pH? Also what do you adjust it to? And how much Cal-Mag are you feeding?

 

[VincenzioVonHook]

You think that's scary? Try buying "premium hydroponic grade, triple washed Coco coir", all to run through your first feed at 400ppm, and the runoff comes out dark brown at 7000ppm.

I was trying to explain this to a mate using Super soil. He's done a runoff test and it was in the 3000s and he was contemplating running like 50L of water through it.

Then I asked him why he's testing runoff TDS with every watering in a super soil, and ends up he's feeding salts as well.

It's criminal how many people go for an organic soil and immediately feed salts from week one, basically nullifying the organic soil.

I agree. Fox Farms makes decent organic soil. Then they sell people chemicals to throw on it.

These conversations never end well though, lol.

I run the my tap water through a filter and ph it to about 6.2. I've been adding a 1/2 teaspoon per gallon of calimag

Those plants and pots are big enough that they'll absorb and eat your mistake no problem...just stop doing that feeding stuff for now
