Run off was 4.6 wow that massively out of range. Chart below should help. Run off should usually be with 0.2 ish of what you put in. Sounds like you have nute build up in the medium if you're getting a pH of 4.6.

24 hours is pointless plants naturally shut down for 4-6 hours in veg regardless of additional light. Auto benefit from it but only just. I'm not sure the cost in additional electric covers the additional yield past 18 on veg. People run 12/12 from seed so shows you how much light you actually need.

If your using mirical grow start at 1/4 and work up that stuff is potent.

pH in soil should be 6-6.5 and I wouldn't feed it much higher than 500ppm or 1.0ec for a moment as it's still really small. Also nutes build up in soil very fast as they hold on to them. That and potential to over water is only real down sides to soil really.

Thank you for the info so should I flush with ph water then after a week feed them

I would do that. Just wait for a few days before you do it if the soil is still wet.

pH is key just as much as TDS.

What do you recommend me to do at this point 18 -6. And water for the next week only ? Or nutrients too I honestly haven’t measured tds only oh

Ok so you need to purchase a TDS (total dissolved solids) meter. They measure in EC (electronic conductivity) or PPM (parts per million)

You use these meters in the same way you use your pH meter. Stick it in, and read. Simple.

You can buy TDS meters on eBay or Amazon really cheap. Recommend buying something good quality as they cheaper ones arn't so water proof and does last. Also make sure buy calibration fluid for both your TDS and pH meters and calibrate them every few weeks as the do go out of whack.

As for lighting id do 18-6 and watering id do only water for the next week at least try and get some of the nutes used up before adding more.
