Cut your calmag now!!! All of it. Your ph will stay stable longer.
Only give 200ppm of your 6-4-4!!!
Give it a good flush!
Wait a few hours. Then tell us if its improving.
Go by your runoff.
Let us know soon
Tim
You're effectively running a 2 week old plant. On a 7-4-4 plus extra cal and mag ontop of that. At 600ppm. Thats huge!
Flush, mate. Flush
Good luck
Let us know!

My ph seems pretty stable. I am using a bluelab combo meter to get me readings. My first run off was around 700 ppm flushed until I got 210 ppm ph stays right at 5.9 6.0

I guess my feeding chart is off! I am confused on how to make the correct feeding schedule I guess

PERFECT BROTHER!!
Keep a close eye on the plant. See if it improves
Check with EXACTLY the same feed, tomorrow.
Then tell us the runoff, and report.
Good job man
I think itll perk up in no time.
Keep an eye on it!!
Talk soon

Tim Thank you for your time. This has become like my salt water fish tank. Took little while to learn but now I am a master at the tank and moving to growing plants. I will get there

Tim I have spent a lot of effort and money trying to make every condition prefect and I am completely confused to how you come up with a feeding schedule. Any idea that will spend up my learning curve here
Just feed a little more if the ppm starts to fall over a few days.
If ppm start rising over a few days, flush.
Always check your ph first :p
Just increase 50 ppm at a time. See how they respond.
Happy days mate.
Tim

FF Grow Big contains no calcium and just a little magnesium. Without being able to see a picture its hard to say exactly what is going on. But if you drop the calmag from your feeding program using RO water. You soon will have real deficiencies .
I am using RO water and I am growing autos. I am completely confused to how to make a feeding schedule

That was a lot of help. It say it starts in new leaves and mine is in old leaves first. I guess I am also confused to what is wrong. I see

the site is having issues with pictures so I guess it isn't me

So much better bro!
Looking healthy.
Do double check your bottles micros for cal and mag.
If one doesnt have cal or mag. Youll know you gotta give a TINY amount of cal or mag. Or both.
Doesnt matter the brand. Ever!
Jusy go by your NPK% and your micros.
Everything else will be in check.
Remember calcium can catch and build like a snowball in your media!
You have to know what you need . Always. Before adding anything!
Happy growing mate

Man I can't thank you enough. I wanted to stay on her and not let her get to far gone. She looks much better to me and we will keep her ppm in check. I knew the ph was important but thought I was washing old out and new in. I didn't understand the build up part. I now understand

I thought coco wouldn't build up like soil. But it did

Too easy mate.
Closest hydro to soil. Thats why i love it soooo much.
You're gonna have a blast with coir.
You use waaaay less nutrients and dont have to feed or water often. They're oxygen levels are off the charts aswell. Coir stays cooler too.
Its all your cation exchange capacity and NPK.
Happy you got it sorted brah!!
Anything else later on. Just let us all know on RIU
Easy growing man.

.. wanted to suggest you consider giving up the notion of "perfect" .. this isn't a perfect science, conditions change all the time and you've got to ebb & flow with the conditions
-good luck!

I understand that. I make glass from sand for a living and have a 150 salt water tank as a hobby. Making glass changes from day to day and sometimes the answer don't make since. I more meant I have tried to create the environment best suited for growing and don't want to screw up and kill my my plant with nuts
