Strawberry Fields Soil
Recharge
Humboldt Secret Nutrients
5x5 3 plants
PHd Tap water aerated

Update and help needed. My 3 plants have now started week 5 flower it’s day 30 today. After I transplanted all 3 into strawberry fields soil and they were all fine for this whole month almost. Just my water was given and recharge every 2 weeks with the watering. But now there’s 2 plants yellowing at the upper leaves slowly one a lot more than the other and I haven’t used the nutrient line yet just the recharge. Only one seems to look fine and green. I got a pic of them and a pic of my grow log for the ph and ppm. I haven’t done anything about it yet because I don’t wanna make it worse.

If your environment is in check and your using the recharge with strong light intensity just step up the food. They’re wanting more. Make sure your pots aren’t getting dry between waterings to prevent it from eating itself. They look good and wouldn’t over think it much. What are you growing.

Runoff ph isn’t important it’s a irrelevant measurement and doesn’t reflect soil ph. If you want to know your soil ph do a slurry test. Take a scoop of soil and soak it in a even amount of water creating a slurry let it soak for a day then filter the water through a cheese cloth of tshirt or whatever and then test the ph of the water. That’ll be a much closer reflection of what your soil ph is if that’s what you’re trying to accomplish with the runoff tests.

I am using the Mars Hydro FC8000 which is a CO2 capable light but I have it at 12” away from highest top and 18” away from the general canopy area and just a little bit past 75% dim. I wasn’t sure whether I needed to feed already or if I had a deficiency/lockout. I also have been watering like 3 gal and 1/4 each plant every 3 to 4 days because I had heard that Strawberry Fields holds water.

Yea I have done the 50/50 slurry with the 2 drops. Does that work? Or is your method better?

The slurry tests I said is a easy quick way to figure out soil ph and is usually within range of what the actual soil ph is. I don’t know so much about the water retention in strawberry fields.your plants look good I would just step the food up a hair and keep doing what your doing growing is simple and should be that way if you have a decent plan and can follow through with it you’ll be fine.
 
keep it real.

That’s what I should of done but instead I fed with nutes. I guess I was just itching to use the magical designed bottles as a newbie

That’s okay. I’m sure it will be fine. Only reason I mentioned topdress was because you only have a few more weeks of feed then she should start finishing up.

It just got abit low on nitrogen, or they would be more darker, thou I'd just let it be...i wouldn't be adding that at this stage of development unless you want more potential issues.
