growing in soil - FFOF and FFLW 50/50 mix . using foxfarm nutes . week 3 of flower . getting these kind of symptoms from all my flowers . . . i've been feeding with nutes every feeding .

if the soil has become waaaay too hot/acidic . what should i do to get my soil back in shape ? if i need to flush , could i get some detailed info on what sort of goals i should have during the flush ie. run off ph/ppm as well as what the ph of the water should be when i'm flushing ? should i add some calmag ? when can i feed again after i flush ?

Hmm....I'm not sure what your problem is, all I can say is that it resembles a phosphorus deficiency. But, i can help you with some tips on flushing....When I flush, I use water that contains 50 PPM, and has a PH of 6.8. As I start to flush, I check the runoff as it first starts to come out of the bottom, and take note of the PPM and PH. Understandably, the PPM is always high, and the PH is always low. I use 3 gallon pots, and when I get about 3 gallons of runoff, i check the PH/PPM again, and see where I'm at. I stop flushing when the runoff is coming out at around 150 PPM(100 PPM actually, after subtracting the initial 50), and when the PH is close to the 6.8 that I'm pouring in. Normally, it takes 6-7 gallons of water to flush those 3 gallon pots.

don't feed with nutrients every feeding. This seems to happen to everyone on FF, including me. The only thing that won't burn your plants in the FF line is the big bloom, its the light .01-.3-.7. the other two tiger bloom and grow big are not totally organic and will burn your plants. so be careful, especially with the tiger bloom, I have hear many people not like the high phosphorus tiger bloom 2-8-4

Cut back on your nutes & watch the new growth closely. All that mumbo jumbo about " flushing" is to be ignored unless you know for sure you have over fertilized.

IMO flush the crap out of them. For you're leaf to even come close to looking that way means its "burning" unless it was to close to a light that should never happen. There are defiantly hot spots in the solid and most likely unbalanced ph. If it were me I would flush using clearex and ro water with at least 60%runoff. Making sure to release all the salt build up. I just went through this with my l.a. confidential and it brought my girls back to life with new healthy growth in about a week. Clearex recommends using 7ml-15ml per gallon of water, I used 15ml because my case was pretty bad, I would do the same in you're case. I would flush let them relax for a week then just water with regular RO, then the following week if they've behaved and come back around looking healthy, feed them A LITTLE. I learned the hard way with fox farms as well. It very easy to over feeding even with the recommended nutes schedule. I've had the best results feeding every other watering, using half strength nutes and the clearex on the non feeding days. For you're very first feeding after they revived I would recommend a 1/4 strength feeding of what FF says. A little goes a long way with the nutes, better have them hungry then burning up like right now. Good luck, hope I could be of some help!

wow . what a TON of help your guys' advice has been . your guys' experience goes further than any book or video that i have researched . again i appreciate it .

is the clearex absolutely necessary in between feedings or can i just go with some water ?

also , do you guys have calmag issues with FF nutes ? i'm throwing in botanicare's calmag into my solution of distilled water + nutes .

thanks again guys . really .

what should i expect from these already damaged leaves ? i know they won't regenerate the growth but will the burn eventually eat up the leaf despite correcting the ph/nute problem ? or will fixing the ph/nute problem stop the burn completely ? how soon can i expect to see results from a flush or just plain watering ?

all the new growth seems to be continually healthy with vigorous growth but the middle fan leaves continue to be showing these symptoms , working their way up . . .
