You can measure soil EC. There's a ratio of soil to distilled water. You'll have to search it out yourself. How long has the problem plant been in it's pot? Weeks? The other plants around it look good to me, but they're smaller as well. When did it start happening? Was it healthy looking like...

I'm in the same camp as yourself. Will always water until runoff regardless. Media should be properly saturated and allowed to drain. Period. Soil or otherwise, organic or not. Better assures soil saturation. Avoids chronic overwatering/underwatering. Avoids build-up of silts, clays and...

F1 Polyhybrid?

Why wouldn't the first filial generation in a "polyhybrid" be termed F1 seed?

Don't be discouraged if what you get, isn't at all what you expected, though. There'll likely be a lot of variation. If what you buy is called "Fruity Cakes" don't expect the Fruity Cakes to follow through in the seed. But, you'll likely still get some nice plants. And, grow your own seeds...

@babu33 See how it goes after plain water. If your soil's indeed heavy and you didn't add aeration, it's much easier to overwater and much easier to overfeed. So you'll need to consider total EC and how frequently you water. To avoid lockout and or root rot. If full strength nutes is too much...

And, plain soil from your garden likely isn't helping either. It's probably far too heavy if you didn't add a lot of aeration, before potting.

That's what I'm saying, I think? Should be 100% recommended of each, as per feed chart. Once mixed. Dilute with water to desired EC.

You should be following the feed chart for mixing. No wonder you're having problems. I'd suggest you're effectively locking it out by not following the feed chart, and not using the nutrients as intended. I'd probably give it plain water once, with good runoff. Then continue feeding at...

Still situational for me, otherwise I would have invested in good LED already. Heat is what I generally need in my space. HID helps heat my space, saves watts and money on heating. But, I shut the grow down for a couple months during peak summer, too hot. There's also the price to consider...

Plant looks great! Leave it alone. :p

Back off a bit. Make it more like 1.8 - 2.0 EC @ desired pH. Get good runoff. See how it goes.

Even 1600. What ppm scale are you using? 1600ppm @700 scale, is still 2.4 EC, I think. That's nothing to scoff at.

That says a lot to be completely honest. You're up over 3.0 EC, that's way high.

Well, what's different about it? What amendments have you used? Have you checked the pH for those ones? I think lime is the last thing you should consider. Really should be the last course of action. Should already be buffered adequately. Though, I'll give you benefit of doubt. I assumed...

No worries. Good luck. Hope we're on the right track.

Yep. That's what I would do.

I reckon you're on the right track there. Might be drying up just a bit much between. Run more waste when you feed until you get your watering system.

Next-time you feed. Feed at 1.0EC until the waste reads the same as your input. See how it goes from there.

Lots of folk here go by their waste for pH. Was giving you benefit of doubt. Just had to ask the question. Have you checked the pH using your soil tester before you water, not after? If it really is acidic, then add dolomite as you say, see how things go. GL.
