Bubba kush auto hso (need help)

Hello everyone, I’m trying to grow 2 bubba kush autos from HSO, but I’m not sure if they needed fertilizer or they got locked up, I decided to flush one of them, the run off ph was reading at around 5.0, I’m growing in soil, using black gold soil with a bit of ocean forest, I would say 5 parts black gold and 2 to 2.5 parts ocean forest. I water with ph at around 6.5 every watering, and I test my ph after adding the fertz. Any idea why it went down to 5? Been using the fox farm trio at about 30% strength, but i ordered some sea bird Guano, worm castings, bat guano, kelp meal, alfalfa meal, and I have some molasses, planning on doing a compost tea soon, is gonna be my first time doing this. Anyway, what do you guys think I need to change? The light is the spider farmer 200w, I think is the 2000 model. 18 hours on and 6 hours off is my light schedule. Not sure if I’m missing some info.

What’s up man, ran into the same thing. Just don’t use nutes Anymore and just water for a week or so and if u are using nutes again. don’t spray the leaves.. spray the soil around the stem and a little underneath the plant if u want . But use water mainly. Good ph water and the growth is from underneath. Now the top looks good. so don’t worry ur doing it good. So it happens again. Use just water

Looking a little burnt. Just stop the nutes for a couple weeks.

Should I still add cal mag when not adding nutes since I use ro di water? I think I read somewhere on here people adding around 5ml of cal mag to a gallon if using ro or ro di water. You think my PH in my soil got more acidic cause of the extra nutes? Im saying cause I water with PH at 6.5 but idk if not having enough cal mag makes the ph fluctuate more? Since the run off tested at around 5.0.

Thanks

I think your good man. As sucky as it sounds don’t do anything. Just let them grow. Ur runoff is good.

Ok cool, but run off shouldn’t read at 6.0 or above? And should I just dump the compost tea or use any of it? I can see it’s brewing nicely l(foam on top), but it will complete brewing for 24 hours in 6 hours from now, idk if I should dump it or keep brewing it for longer than 24 hours, or use a bit after the 24 hours. I did flush one plant already with pure ro di and is ready for watering tonight again. Just sucks to throw away the tea damn lol

When your runoff ph is that’s far off from what you put in your root zone is too acidic. There are some guys that just water at high ph to offset. You’d have to do some research. Or just plain water only for a week or so like already suggested.

Yeah I was thinking of higher PH to get it right but wasn’t sure. But yeah I’ll need to keep watering with plain water, does it matter if it’s ro di, ro, or tap though?

During the veg stage auto don’t need A bunch of nuts. From my experience about week 2 of veg I start feed 1/4 nuts and slowly increasing till full strength during flower. And slowly decrease my nuts entering week 5 or 6. Until, I am flushing.

What do you feed for the remainder of the plants life? There’s still min of 5-6 weeks left to go at that point.

Run your ph a little higher for a week or so 6.7 should do it it will let the plant stop using so much nitrogen keep it in the soil a bit bring down the acidic level of The soil.

Honestly a lot of ppl check run off when it actually pointless.
Bro use the the tea just spread it all even. Then make sure u spray them them a couple times a day. With just plain water. For 2 weeks plus

Nutes again?

I actually did add some of the tea. And also transplanted the plant, yes I know I’m not supposed to transplant during flower, especially autos, but I went with what I was feeling instead of what I hear, transplanted it, and added 5ml A gal of cal mag to my ro di, plant is looking way better. The other one seems to have root bound, so I decided to transplant it as well, hopefully it recovers as well.
