My babies are in their 2nd week of flower, theyu are about 4 1/2 feet tall in FFOF soil in 5 gal buckets with proper drainage, ph has always been around 6.0-6.5. I fed them yesterday with 800-900ppm of GH flower nutes 0-10-10 and some 4-5-7, today i fed them with just plain water with no nutes added, i PPM'd the water that came out of the bottom today and the ppm was 250, are they underfed or overfed? They are quite big so im thinking it could be over feeding, bu tim not sure if its underfeeding or not. They did look slightly stonger up top after the feeding yesterday but down low they looked a bit more yellow. HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!! im desperate!!

i had the same problem when i first started using nutes. usually the edges will be burnt from over, and not enough will cause more yellowing than burning.

also over-fertilization is easy to do in plants that are a little bit over-watered i've found in my limited experience...

well if your in dirt you prob should only feed every 4-7 days depending on temp humidity and so forth. i like to feed my dirt bags every 5 days and flush with plain water every other week.

temp is 82 degrees, running co2 and a dehumidifier, the humidity stays under 50 for the most part. sometimes goes to 55 during the dark cycle and i cant go in and empty the humidified
