TBH, the whole NOT ph adjusting the tap water sounds a bit funny to me as well. But IMO, thats not a reason to NOT try plain tap water. I did read up a bit more yesterday regarding NOT PH tap water and its a bit of toss: there are folks who believe that there is no need and there are plenty...

Thanks SoulMan63! Actually you're correct with the nitrogen assessment: i panicked mid flower when my leaves started to prematurely yellow and i added a bit 4-4-4 and 2-5-3. I suspect the extra nitrogen came from that. I am definitely aware of that for next grow.

lol i actually did not take many photos. But here are the final ones. Take a look and give feedback. Other than that, I think i've gathered my take aways from this thread: 1- Try watering without Ph'ing and no need for drastic amount of run off; none is acceptable. 2- Keeping foxfarm with top...

What a detailed reply. Much appreciated! So, here is what I have distilled from your response. 1- Soil should be watered frequently and avoid extended periods of no watering. This is to prevent the biology within the soil to go dormant and will prevent the soil from becoming hydrophobic. 2-...

I watered every 4-5 day (depending on the need of the plant). My pot was 3 gallon. Over time i came to read my pot and plant quite well. I am not clear on your stance regarding run off water and soil: are you in favor of it or not? Additionally, i dont follow your thought process regarding...

I am using tap water (aerated for 24hrs with a bubbler) and then PH'd to 6.0-6.5.

20-30 mins. I water slow as I am using fabric pots.

I do have a quesiton though: If you're growing organically in soil, do you need to water till 20-30% run off? I did that during my last grow and while it did not hurt anything, it definitely felt like i was wasting the amendments (flushing them out unnecessarily).

Noted. I might put half as much as I had intended then. I'll have to think a bit more about it.

Yes, i do think simple as well. However, your take on the mineral aspect is Interesting. How can i go about adding Iron?

Howdy good folks at RIU! So i finally got my first grow in. I definitely referenced this forum many, many times and it always came to my rescue. I couldn't have done it so smoothly without tonnes of threads already posted here. So, i am grateful for those who've come before me and shared their...

Ok thats good to hear. The one below is what i plan on using is Jobe's Organic Granules All Purpose Plant Food and its got a 4-4-4 ratio. FML...it was supposed to be an easy grow; no frills no hassle!

Ok. So is there a recommended way to add 4-4-4 fertilizer to my grow? Just simply top dress and water or perform some other complicated way?

Interesting approach. So in the event that I have used up all of the FFOF nutrients, i suppose top dressing with FFOF or a dry amendment will be in order. The Cal-Mag would be in addition to that. How would i go about that? Simply top off the my soil with some dry fertilizer and water with...

Hi Budda- I was reading your https://www.rollitup.org/t/ffof-fox-farms-ocean-forest-made-simple-autoflower.996511/ post and its really informative! I was hoping you can chime in with your 2 cents on my thread (https://www.rollitup.org/t/is-this-a-calcium-deficiency.1065220/).

Man! your grow looks super nice! Excellent color and solid trichomes! im jelly! I am going to check the thread you linked. I get why prophet is suggesting the soil test and pH lockouts confirmation. For now, I am going to keep it simple and try the calmag and check the new growth for any signs...

My soil pH is off without me actively using fertilizers? I am new to all this but i speculate that pH lockout is a less likely cause. I may have agreed to that theory had I been dousing the soil with liquids nutes etc. I dont follow your last statement. Can you please explain a bit?

I can safely rule out three which leaves the ph Lockout as the last one standing. I eliminate that due to the following reason: I have not fed it anything other than Seaweed Extract mixed in the water the last 4 watering times. The water was pH tested every time and was 6.5. Cal Mag it is...

Appreciate the reply BDB! Its an LED burple light with added UV, far red and white leds to represent "true full spectrum". Its 50W which i confirmed myself with a watt-meter. Its been working quite well. I dont think its over water. In fact by the the 4th watering day, i can dig my finger 2...

Hey Jalbit. Did you ever sort out your problem? I am pretty much in a similar boat but have not been adding any calmag. Just FFOF and seaweed extract and here is what I am dealing with.
