oh i also meant to say that its not just leaves from the bottom up. it can be a leaf at bottom one on top and one in middle. ill remove the bad leaves then same thing happends 2-3 days later. one in middle shows a sign then maybe one up top. also getting the very tips of the tops leaves to have...
ok ive still been getting def signs and hasnt gone away.
I have flushed out the buckets and the run off is coming out at 5.9 last i checked and havent touched/watered since. its been about 4-5 days.
i was thinking it was a PH issue but i really doubt it cause run off ran should be...
ok finally done with one 35 gallons later and now 3 more to go.... its coming out at 6.2 and im not messing with it anymore. i added 1 table spoon for lime and actually fed them cause they havent had nutes in almost 2 weeks now.
ok im going to flip the fuck out. im getting the same results.
im flushing this now with over 10 gallons of 6.6 phed water and run off is at 5.9. i added 1 table spoon of lime. i dont know what to do anymore. im beside myself
Ok thanks to all who replied,
I'm going to give a run down of what I'm going to do today and tell me if it sounds good.
I'm going to mix half tap and half RO water and mix 1 tsp of Epsoma garden lime in 5 gallons and ph at 6.5 and flush.
I will check run off and keep flushing with half tap half...
Ok here is the other thing, I didn't water for a few days I allow the top 4-5" to dry and the FFHF seems to be pretty light and drys out quick.
So when I flushed I flushed about 15-20 gallons if not more of 6.5 ph water only.
And still had run off of 4.8-5.5
I'll flush them again today with...
Oh and what where you using for your cal/mag feeding? I noticed there isn't any in the grow big or big bloom and since I'm using ro I'm sure it's taking out cal that's in tap water. And how often u foliar feeding?
I was told my ph is low because the soil is always wet. I've read that low calcium can cause a low drop in ph. Ty for the tip on foliar feeding. I've been feeding them foliar every 5 days with a touch of superthrive.
So you definetly think it's safe to flush again?
Hey guys,
having an issue that I think people might have answered but just want to get a second opinion.
I was told that I was watering to offten and not letting my soil dry out enough and that's why I'm getting a Ph/cal/mag type of def. I checked the run off of the soil and it's at 5.5ish...
it only happends to 1-2 leaves every 2 days or so but its still not good. they look fantasic but could be better.
i just want a nice yield and dont want these def to slow me down. if im the cause of it by over watering then i fucked up.
i doubt i over watered cause the 1st month i only gave...
