I waited 3 weeks before my first top dress.

Thanks for the help brother!

yes I am using LEDs. There is some run off when I’m doing my watering. Why is it bad to have runoff in living soil? Im going to topdress with 3tbs of the bloom fertilizer and add work castings as well. I’m going to start doing the compost tea again too. I agree with you that this grow is going...

I didn’t remove any top dressing I left what had already put in there thinking it would be enough to get me to the end of the grow since it looked like I was over doing the fertilizer. during night it’s around 77-80 degrees and 40% to 50% RH. During the day it’s in the 90’s with RH around 35.

its hot during the day so I add water about everyday

It's been 13 days since my original post and the plants are looking less dark green than before. However, I still have lower leaves that are turning yellow and eventually dying. Is this still from the nitrogen toxicity or is there some other deficiency going on? Since my original post I have...

Day 59 It's been a minute since I did an update on these ladies. Unfortunately I got a little carried away with my top dressing and the plants seem to have a nitrogen toxicity. I wont be feeding them anything probably for the rest of the grow. Only water from now on. I hope they can recover and...

It seems like the consensus is that I went overboard on my feeding regimen. It's a learning experience and to be honest I kind of expected some hiccups when going from DWC to living soil. From now on when I feed I'm going to do 3 to 4 Tbs per 5 gallon pot mixed with the worm castings. I'll see...

I was adding worm castings as well. I forgot to mention that. How much are you adding per 5 gallon pot?

Im going to check out that thread.

In the beginning I did about 20 Tbs for 3 cubic ft of soil. Then every time I top dressed I was doing 10 Tbs total per 5 gallon pot. So last top dress I did 7 Tbs of Bloom and 3 Tbs of the vegetable fertilizer.

I was using 2 Tbl per gal. I have 5 gallon pots.

They are autoflowers. If they were photo period I’m with 100% I would not have flipped them.

How do I avoid this in the future? I really want to transition away from DWC and go 100% organic. My last DWC grow I got almost two lbs from 5 plants. I get soil will probably yield less than DWC but if I can be in the ballpark with organic I’ll never go back to DWC.

The soil is in it's first grow. It is Dr. Earth organic soil and I'll put a picture below of what was in the soil. I have been using the dry amendments below as well as what I have mentioned above. I use R/O water. I have been using boogie brew part A about once a week. Okay thanks for the...
