Yeah stop using what you bought and fo back to what you were doing I changed to organic living soil and dry organic fertiliser with black strap molasses in my plain water and I've had no problems at all and it's been easier no measuring of ph pens ect I'm so glad I change keep getting people on here recommending it

I don't like thr dry amendments I always have issues. Under use or over use it's never balanced. So I figured liquid organic nutes with a weekly chart would be easier to give the plants what they need. I just bought a ppm Metter so when I mix my nutes and water I can make sure I'm around the 600-900 for veg and flower I think was 900-1100 correct?

Oh shit yeah.. that feed has crashed your pH or something ain’t right for it to go bad so quickly

Ok so like @PadawanWarrior said give my tap water which is 8.1 ph and see if they bounce back?

The microbes in the soil break down the dry nutes then give it to the plant unless you put way too much in the soil pretty hard to O.D the plants with the dry nutes as the soil does the feeding as the plant needs.it I currently am doing I many plant method grow with 6 different strains and I have done nothing different as far as fertiliser,soil watering ect as the microbes do it for me

I actually said see how they respond. It's not an instant fix, but if it looks better after that in a couple days, then you know the soil pH is low. A good soil pH meter would be best, but they're expensive.

Nutrients are like your daily vitamin. They aren't the main food source...the lights are. The lights you are using aren't doing enough work to justify the amount of chemicals you are using. If you only used plain tap water to this point with FFOF...you'd be way ahead of where you are now.
FF nutes are very strong. My lights are several times stronger than yours and I use 1/2 strength General Organics Grow/Calmag/Bi Marine. I switch to Bloom at end of stretch. I also use tap water and I don't PH. Chalk it up to a learning experience.

Thanks man, I switched to my tap water now as well its about 8.2 ph and by the time I add my nutes it drops to 5.5ish so I add about 4-6ML of PH up and puts it right on. But thanks for the info. And I heard thr amount of light I have in my 2x4 is kinda overkill. I have 414 watts of light.
