Should I remove runoff from water tray if I’m growing organic?

If you have run off in soil you are overwatering

In Summary: Don't allow runoff if you're not adding fertilizer, allow runoff if you're adding fertilizer.

Technically, you could manage to find the perfect balance where your essentially using your media as a rez. But this would be very difficult and would likely result in failure.

I dont know what using media as a rez means. I'm growing in soil. If feeding 1100ppm once a week for seven weeks with no runoff will the soil become toxic?

That depends on an incalculable number of different factors. Plants don't do well in toxic soil, how are yours looking?

If he's growing organically he doesn't want runoff, useless he's trying to flush something out.

Honestly I did not realize the topic before I posted, I don’t know much about soil disregard what I said.

Wait, so you're using chemicals. If so I wouldn't call it organic.

They're going into their ninth week and look fine but they've lost their stickiness and their smell. I took a nug off and dried it overnight and I didn't get even the slightest buzz. The soil meter says the soil is at 5.8 ph.

that's strange, it should... you've smoken it? could be CBD or hemp

How are you measuring the soil pH?

Hopefully not one of the $10 two-pronged soil meters, they're useless for pH measurements

It's weird. They look normal. Trichomes are cloudy but no stickiness and no scent. I used a product called Paleo Bloom from Primordial Solutions and I really think it fucked them up somehow.

Eh, those are kinda subjective things, sometimes the smell changes as they mature, or you may have just gotten used to it and it doesn't seem as strong anymore. If they're otherwise healthy then those things would probably be down to genetics.

If you feel comfortable doing it, post some pics. Most plant health problems will also affect the plant's appearance, and folks here might be able to give you better advice. Plus who doesn't like looking at some ninth week buds?

Looking good to me. The leaf tips are a little burned so maybe cut back on the amount you're feeding, but otherwise I think they'll make it to the finish line.

How'd you dry it?

 

[Staretz44]

How'd you dry it?

Haven't chopped them yet. They're 8 weeks from 12/12. One, maybe two weeks to go.

The nug you chopped that you dried overnight is what I'm talking about. How'd you dry it?

Oh. I just left it on the dresser until it felt dry.
