Hey guys sorry I crashed out last night. Just did the slurry with 1oz medium and 1oz of water, let it sit 30mins, and I got 6.23 PH & 143ppm. I believe the ppm is the issue and she's hungry after I over used the BK?!? DAMN NOOBS! lol let me know pros!

Here she is this morning.

@zzeroo thanks brother! I shoulda made it growdaddy420 to kinda be like GoDaddy lmao

that's what we suspected but good verification can chart your next week to 2 weeks of feed! layoff the BK and do a couple solid feeds and just bump a few bottles up at time, like Gaia Demeters Athena and of course herc. your ph is still good, could use a rise by getting more oly up in the rootzone......that's that drop with Hades over shooting low trick......and feeding at 6.4-6.6 ph next few waterings. FEED TO SATURATION!! DONT WANT ALL THAT NECTAR GOODNESS WASHING OUT!!! Slow watering a 1/2-3/4 gallon will saturate a 5 gallon as a point of reference.

Thank you guys so much! Shes ready for a watering tonight. I been using about 3/4 gallon and only got a trickle of run off. So I will do the full sample kit feeding at 1/2 strength and leave out the BK for a hot minute LOL!!

this is how I roll ... this is under a 630w cmh using 5 gallon fabric pot .....I water 1/2 gallon every other day with very little run off , very little , like a drop or 2 ... the only time you want any run off is when there an oh shit ! .. im dealing with a cat who does run off in coco and can't understand that 1. his ph is at 7.1-7.2 and his ppm is around 150 but insist that there has to be a run off ..... as the plant gets use to the nectar feeding they will want more .. the more you have your environment dialed in the better you will have your watering dialed in .... the trick is to have more food less volume another words , people will only water every 3 day or so .. thats wrong ! you wanna be trying for every day or max every other day watering .... If your watering is every few day your gonna have issues , like we eat twice a week in that twice a week every meal is liking eating 2 days worth.... not good..... another tip if you want to play with BK wait till your slurry ppm is on the higher end then foliar , its what I explain in another forum .. you do your FFT/FFF lets say you did your FFT now after your next F your ppm is high , oh shit I dont want to flush throw my feed schedule off this where in veg you do a foliar spray of BK to drop the ppm .. ... now when dealing with a low slurry ppm and she hungry , its ok to double up on your food (calls for 5ml you do 10) only do this once and then do a slurry before your next feed to see where your at .... now the FFT/FFF is not written in stone , you can do a FFFT/ FFFF/FTFFF/ or what ever, just remember the last time you gave it a TEA or HERC ...LETS say the last time you gave her a herc but last couple times she been hungry and your feeding and now the slurry ppm are high , well what was done the last time ? tea or herc ? oh she was given herc so now ill do a tea .... this is really a #s game ... I had plants so hungry I couldn't keep up in fear of over watering so I use (one shot) to help bring the ppms up .... and another tip with BK .. the day you feed next morning before lights on do a bk foliar ... even with low ppm you can do a BK foliar ... I WILL NOT GO INTO THAT ...BK is like a gas pedal the more you use the more it will burn the fuel ...
the more you use , is the strength of the foliar mix...

Dude fucking great information! I'm completely following about the feed more frequently and giving less. Don't do a gallon every 3 days, do a 1/2 gal every other as an example.

I need to get a tea to use I suppose. What should I grab?

www.culturedbiologix.com there giving free samples just gotta pay shipping... also found on the OCG www.oregonsconstantgardener.com. or you can start brewing your tea... but that a different animal .... down the road we will get into amended soil...

Quick question for you, if you dont mind. I usually run a 4 x 8 tray under 6 x 315 cmh's .. mix of ocean forest / happy frog / perlite for the median .. been using the FF's 3 some with added cal mag and silica .. usually around 10-12 2 gallon pots and a couple 5 and 10 gallons depending on what I am rerunning. I have been having problems with the FF stuff and have been really interested in going with NFTG, anything I should know going into this grow using this fert for the first time ? Anything I need to make sure I cover ? any help would be much appreciated.

switching from a salt based nutrient do a couple herc feedings to wash any salts aways , then you start a lite feeding of the NFTG line.....get ready to do slurries....

What type of cobs are you using daddygrows420? My build is very similar....I have (4) 3500K 50W Cree cxb3590 from Timber but I put the driver on the light bar so I could hang a 100W 2700K Hlg board in the center for bloom. I love the results. Your plants are digging yours too!!
