6.3 is a fair ph for soil... Which OF really isn't. It's more of a hot compost with peat. In simplest terms, metals need to be slightly more acidified in a "hydro" element for proper uptake. Any quality compost will do, even EWC. Both contain readily available nutrition that won't burn your...

FF will buffer for as long as you need, that's largely in its cation exchange capacity. It will only feed for a few weeks because it will deplete those cations and nutrition will need to be added. However, it's what you're feeding. Heavy K, Ca, P (direct relationship with Mg) and Mg will block...

I don't even consider their OF as a soil. It's more of a hot compost, whereas their HF is more soil-like.

Ever used coco?

You can transplant in flower just fine. It's WHAT you transplanted into that got you into trouble in this case. They'll be alright and smoke just fine.

You transplanted into fresh FF, which is heavy N... Not much you can do. It'll be fine to get to harvest. It'll look like a rough finish, but the buds will be ok. Depending on how fast they dry out, you can push for more runoff to try and leach out some of that N. Unfortunately, that will drag...

At this phase, the plant wants more K than N. Too much N will interfere with K uptake.

No, not really. Especially for soil. You should pat yourself on the back because they aren't overwatered, which is very common. They start out slow til they get to around the 6th node, then they take off. Even hydro doesn't have too much of a leg up on this stage.

You're in good hands with those 2. They look fine. I wouldn't change anything unless you encounter an issue.

This combined with the amount of K and Ca/Mg you're adding is locking out Iron. FF is SUPPOSED to be prebuffered, but you should check it anyway.

I use lemon juice and baking soda. Dries and cures twice as fast as just letting them dry after chop. Smoother smoke, cleaner bud, faster turnaround, and perceived (by me and mine) terp profiles.

Good call cutting the OF with the HF. OF is sometimes too hot out of the bag.

There is no nute burn.

The "salts" were probably just mineral sediment from tap water. You need to put it in the tent and close the tent. Keeping the tent open is just going to defeat the purpose of the humidity is low outside the tent.

Never used the Mars, but they seem to do alright. Better than blurples lol. All your plants look fine (even with the white shit plastered on the left one lol), just a little dry. Mutations happen. Breeders are getting very sloppy these days, breeding for favorable traits and not stabilizing to...
