I'm triggered that you think I care about your opinion of me 
By an emoji, an insult. I don't really give a shit, but if you're gonna call me stupid, have the decency to use correct grammar.

If you really didn't care about what people think you wouldn't be triggered. I frequently read helpful threads for info and I must say when scrolling thru and reading the help and advice from person to person is so refreshing but....when I see pointless shitty comments from the loneliest and most desperate among us, interrupting these great convoys, it helps me realize how low and nasty humans are. This snowflakes comment perfectly represents the type of person he really is inside ....and I'm sure you have convinced yourself its OK or its just 1 comment...but you don't realize that comment came from you,was typed by you and conceived of by you ..that comment also represents you. You could have said literally ANYTHING....but you chose to say that to these people...says a lot about you.... Judging from your comment there isn't much too you...just loneliness bitterness and all encompassing daddy issues. I'm sure you know no one likes you, bit damn the world is sick of cookie cutter losers thinking you have any play lolI'm triggered that you think I care about your opinion of me

I live in Florida so it’s hard to get good genetics. At least for me it is . I have zero growing buddies

He is saying investigate your soil pH.
His was way low he fixed it and finished well.
You may or may not have this issue. Better to not change anything right now when you aren't sure yet.

There is nothing wrong with Flora Series nutrients. Lots of veteran growers have been using them for years. Many noobs get sucked in to the nutrient nonsense and end up using a dozen bottles of stuff. Root Tooter Plus, Big Bad Bud Rocket, Super Sweet Honey Bud Tonic, Total Flush Magic, etc... You're already off to a better start than many by not getting caught up in that. One of the worst things you can do is go down that "Chasing Nutrients" rabbit hole. Don't question your choice of nutrients. What you're using is fine.
Good luck.

It isnt. You just need to know where to send your money. There are several domestic suppliers with great quality that will ship to you within a week. Usually you pay by sending a money order which you get at a bank, post office or a currency exchange. A few take CC or other online payments.
One of the larger selections where I can vouch they will send it fast is Seed Cellar in Michigan. Order this weekend and get it by end of next week. Many folks like Great Lakes Genetics, also in MI. Different selections, but I mention SC to you because they have so many strains stocked. Check out ther website.

FF (is it FFOF?) is already amended and should have a decent amount of buffering. Sometimes the pH right out of the bag is on the low side but it'll come up with a couple waterings after things get activated.
I agree that its either the pH or another element has thrown off CEC exchange. The Flora series seems to be a complete base and should be fine to use after the FF has depleted its nutes. I dont think you even need the additional cal/mag

Great Lakes Genetic and JBC are both solid

Dude... it's literally changed my grow life! I know it's expensive, like $478 for the Apera, but it's made my life so much easier. I no longer have to chase my tail trying to figure out what's going on. I really don't even encounter problems because I check the PH every single day. If I see things dropping off, I know I need to raise the PH mix a bit.. But!.. with a monitoring tool such as this, it will not get out of control. Period.You Just helped me a ton

This is an impossible question to answer without knowing your "true" root zone PH. Could be high, could be low,.. but Im guessing low, and you're locking out available nutrients. If they are not in that soil zone of 6-7, they will die no matter what you toss at it. I would guess that from what I've read, you're in the low to mid 5's. I'd flush with 7 PH, 3 times the volume of the pot, and then feed right after that at 7.5 ish. Better to be a little high (pun intended), than low. But, Im betting your soil will buffer closer to mid to low 6 with what I mentioned above.

i ended up getting a blulabs one Metcom combo with pro b phleap probe i was looking at their soil wand and people said they had issues calibrating, so i got the handheld unit on a wire. abit cheaper at $270 ill make a post sometime about how well it works out! Apera looked very nice

Man, Im telling you.. its the most accurate and dependable direct soil probe on the commercial market. You do have to replace the probe (once a year for me) depending on how much you use it, but at $127 a year, it's worth it to me. But I do this for a living so...i ended up getting a blulabs one Metcom combo with pro b phleap probe i was looking at their soil wand and people said they had issues calibrating, so i got the handheld unit on a wire. abit cheaper at $270 ill make a post sometime about how well it works out!

The Apera 8500s comes with a plastic "probe" that you can make a hole with so you don't damage the Swiss glass tip. It's about 5 inches long, and I jab the top surface, and then stick the Apera probe in 3 places to get an average. But, most of the time, it's within a 10th of a point all around. I do get alot of run off every feeding, so it's going to be pretty consistent. I may have 15 gallons of runoff from a 50 gallon tank every day.
