Do you use ff trio? Just curious, you sound like you know your stuff.

Yeah I use the trio and ocean forest soil. If your trio came with a pamphlet like mine did, throw that shit away and follow the instructions on the back of the bottles. The pamphlet for some reason advises you to use way too much, way too often.

This is my Bruce Banner, planted from seed 39 days ago. About to schwazz and flip to 12/12 in a week or so. Last single plant scrog I did this way net me 8oz cured.

This looks weird, have you checked your soil for pests? Similar to the fungus gnats larvae damage...

I almost killed my 1st lady (but looks like she still gonna get about 4 oz). I think im going to scale the bottle intructions back just a notch. Looks like i got her all locked up according to a friend. Shss got 4 weeks to go so i got my fingers crossed. Learning a ton on here, just trying to find the people that know their stuff is the hard part. Tons of advice out there to prt thru. Thanks

Yeah if your pH runoff goes under 6 with ffof, you need to immediately throw about 1 cup of dolomite lime on top of the soil and stop using nutes until it stabilizes above ph6 again.

HELL NO DUDE!!! 4 tablespoons of BIG BLOOM, 3 teaspoons of grow big. Big bloom is gentle, grow big is very very strong.

You can give them these nutes every other watering. The instructions I gave you are literally what it says on the back side of the bottles lol.

3 tsp is equal to 1 tbls.

Even that sounds like WAY too much Big Bloom to me. My recipe is:

Per 2 Gallons Water - Veg:
2 teaspoons Cal Mag
2 teaspoons Grow Big
1 tablespoon Big Bloom
3 teaspoons PH Down
Add more PH Down as needed to PH = 6.50

When watering 4 plants in 5 gallon fabric pots, I use 1.5 gallons per plant, or 6 gallons each watering session. I will mix the first 2 gallon batch, water all 4 plants, wait 30 minutes to soak, then mix batch 2 of the same recipe above. Water, wait 30 minutes.

I then mix a 3rd batch of "plain" water as follows:

Per 2 Gallons Water - Final Runoff:
2 teaspoons Cal Mag
3 teaspoons PH Down
Add more PH Down as needed to PH = 6.50

I am using Fox Farms Happy Frog medium. Be careful with the Big Bloom, I use it every time I water, but I never use more than 1 tablespoon per 2 gallons or I risk damage to the plants, confirmed by trial and error.

Im going to give this a try, Appreciate you sharing it.

What is going on with this 1 plant... hope to fix it and i really hope the others don't start doing the same. First time grower. New to all this. Please help! These were transplanted from 1gal bags to 5gal bags one month ago. I use oceanforest fox farms soil. I currently have not used any nutrients since transplant. I have the fox farms nutrient line up. They were doing terrible as i gave to much nutrients a while back. Then i flushed them. They were transplanted to these 5 gal pots and recovered. Now all the sudden i am seeing problems with one of them.

Are they on a cold floor? Need air under the grow bags too, some kind of grate or lath.

I have my tent placed on a 4'x8' sheet of 2" thick rigid foam board to keep the floor warm and prevent heat loss and cold roots.

I also found these on Amazon, floor tiles made for swimming pools, no mold or mildew, plenty of air flow and all water drains out to vac and remove:

You can see here I was using the blue foam for drain tiles under the plants, but they get mildew and trap the water under the foam.

The drain tiles are much better.

Thanks for that. I gave them each a gallon of water with the dose he recommended me. I'll switch it up to your doses you said now.
