When in doubt flush thoroughly with plain water

Bernie420 said:

Correct but you cant tell what is blocking out what. The number you get is useless. I am sure my dirt plants all have ppm in excess of a thousand ppm's or more and my microbes buffer all that and my dirt plants are fine. Feed water water feed flush your pots every couple of months or before flower renute and your fine. Salts will and do build up if you feed alot but actually checking and knowing what your runoff ppm is meaningless.

The microbes can only handle so much (to the point where they cant keep up with overfertilization- Buildasoil has a video on their website if youre interested). If the Op was overfetilizing (I mean way too much) it is still advised to check runoff EC. Then he can check off one thing off the checklist.

You can usually look at the plant and see if its "overfetilizing".. I guess some people need to check EC to confirm? A lot of times if plants arent eating properly its because of ph issues. But I guess you probably know that already..

I posted about it in this same thread. Im surprised you forgot.
Edit. I think you take me as a "know it all." Its nothing like that, its only a result of me spending countless hours of doing research on this plant and botany.

OP,

What is your medium?
What is your medium?
What is your medium?

If its coco coir, or peat you can measure your waste ec and ph, and it'll be fairly true.

If its soil. You can't. In this case you need to test a soil sample. Simple as that.
Soil IS NOT an inert material.

You need to tell us all more details.
Starting with what type of media.
Ph of your media.
Ec of your feeds, and how often.

Wow I didn’t think so many people would respond thank you what I’m using for my nutrients is the general organic grow box. I haven’t used it too much about once a week and for the last three weeks I always water in between. I also just started to use this kelp seaweed formula to mist them been doing that for the last week and they are starting to look better. I also raised the lights. It’s usualy around 74 degrees and 45/55 humidity. Again thank you for the advice guys I know I’m about as rookie as they come

I feed with nutrients once a week and if they need it I only use water mixed with seaweed and kelp but only 1 ML per gallon. I’m growing in soil and have been from start if you think it’s better to switch that I’m all for it. I always PH my water before and after adding anything to it and is always at 5.8-6.1 it wasn’t like that in the start the PH was too high like 7.2 that’s what was out of my tap

Cant comment oh why you raised your lights up cant even see your lights in the picture seemed way up there to me.. Think your underfeeding them at 1ml per gallon isnt much and ph your water after you add your stuff.

My lights are now hanging about 32 inches from the tallest plant jut some advice I got when at the hydroponics store they were at 20 and then I thought it started to give them lift burn it’s a 1200 watt led morison light with a veg and bloom switch. I’m open to anything the guys with a lot of experience have to say I just want to learn from what I’m Messing up. Do they still look like they can be saved? I can take better pictures when I get home.

And also what do you think for nutrients again this is my first grow I wanted to under cut it at 1 ML so I didn’t kill them when I first started but again open to any help

fill up your gallon.. put in your nutrients.. ph your water 6.4-6.8.. If you put it too low the plant will lock out.. Your shit will turn around and since you're not in flower you should b fine. Good luck!

Do what BCP said above...........

This is what I would do get some microbes ,,, great white is ok there are better out there I like the raw brand microbes personally,, at full strength nutrients as directed by the feed chart for the week your in for your nutes add 1/16 tsp per gallon of microbes feed all the plants a full soaking cover the whole pot to runoff phed as above after you had added nutes. Then leave alone the little plants might not need another watering for a couple of weeks. You have to pick up each pot before you water to know if they actually need a watering. The second feeding when you get to it do at full strength again with the microbes added. Then go feed water feed water add the microbes for a feed or a water when you water your plants. Then when they get bigger I guess you could go feed water water feed all that is up to you I guess what you want to do. or I guess you can do the bigger plants at full strength and the two little ones at half strength but get some microbes in there either way, they will do all of the work for you.

If you have a ppm meter about 550 ppm for the little and 750 for the big would seem ok to me or maybe 650 for all of them but add the microbes thats the key. Maybe when they get bigger you can just add microbes once a week or just during an actual feeding dont need to waste it but you want to know there are some microbes in there working for you.

Light height seem ok you dont want the light being to hot for little plants with a 1200 watt light.

You need to pick up each pot before you water you dont want them constantly soaked dont want them to dry either when they get dry and droop thats stress when their water logged thats stress you need to find the sweet spot on how much and when you water. But for this next watering when you get microbes soak them down and leave them alone.
