Thanks for chiming in, seriously. So quick rundown I'm sure u saw my water was shit from tap. Ran half dozen runs n same ending, which is why the switch to ro. Mixing w tap n evening it out. I religiously use a bluelab and ph to 6.5 or less goin in. Was on flora trio using about 1/2 recommended...

Yeah I buy soil I can afford to be honest. Ff was on sale locally so it's what I got. Best shit I ever used for takeoff, 1st month, was miracle grow if u can believe that. But I've tried lots. Looks like we're learning together bub. Even better. My inside is limited. Yrs of guerilla but that's...

Yeah man, seems some knowledgeable ppl on here. Seeing how long some have even just been on this site. My head constantly churns out thoughts. So I'm already thinking of solutions. The mention of dolomite w added calmag has me a bit concerned. Having never used either, now both. So we'll see. I...

So using partial ro I got ph at 7 or a touch below, ppms below 200 (on the 500 scale to be clear). I SHOULD be able to adjust n work w that wouldn't u think?

Yeah. By the time it hits me it's been over 600. And my water bill is $250 month for that shit. Very small Midwest town. Ridiculous.

Makes sense. I'll mind my nutes better this round n maybe more water days. Idk. Trial n error. I tried coco route, I'm just so damn busy it didn't fit my schedule

Yes, 500 scale is what was used previously. Probably pushed 800 or more in flower to be honest here..I've read on that scale 2-4,4-6,6-8 hundred for start, veg, flower. That's what I followed. When problems occurred I'd check runoff ppm and it was off the charts, man. Rarely fed early tho...

See, to me lockout, overfed, underfed, the rest of it look all the same to me. I wish it was cut n dry. But it's not and that's why I'm here

Gotcha. Wasn't aware. So using 70% ro and from what I've read botanicare is low on calcium anyway, would u say 5ml per gal is good? Also my very 1st question was, should I add it on water only days? Using dolomite for ph buffer, didn't realize played such a big part in calcium as well.

So I'll try to do weekly updates w pics. Once I up-pot they'll b problem free again for a month and a month of bloom. Then my issues will start. So anyone watching, just scratch ur heads for me n think of possibilities. Thanks everyone!

And I'm starting out w a near 200ppm. Should I take that into account on final ppm/ec? I mean idk if it's 200ppm of chlorine, chloramine, lead. Wtf knows

Maybe a 6' outdoor plant I'd dump 20 on it. Lol

I've not used any yet. I hear ffof has food in it for a month. Botanicare calls for like 20ml per gal. I find that absurd..? What would u think? I'm leaning half that myself. At a guess. Also last runs I've used ppms. Is ec a better way of measuring?

Yes. Hard for me being new to diagnose. I cut way back on N in flower obviously. But still may be too much. For the record I been running flora trio. This is 1st run w botanicare, calmag, and dolomite. And RO. So really changing things up here. I add castings at stretch too I'll add. Just being...

My last run in 4x8 was better. Some better than others. This was sugar cane. Trichs down her fans. One nasty girl. But I want em all like this. Lol. Who doesn't though

I went undersink system, doesn't make much. I've balanced it out to about 7ph n just under 200 ppm. 5ml of mag. Should I bump it up? Mix about 70/30 ro/tap

I hope some ppl follow along n help me out. Good luck to u all n thanks for anyone chiming in.

I've got my annual report from the city. I truly believe they lie about it anyway. Claiming ppm of 380 n I'm pulling 580+ off my bluelab freshly calibrated. I could be wrong, but I believe they are.

The ones in back L n R show it. Middle one showing. My last run.

2 tbs per gal of dolomite. This is my 1st run w it. Also my 1st run w calmag. But rust doesn't come till mid flower. I found some old pics of prior runs I'll attach
