Damn, looking at my 2x2 this morning, somethings unfolding quick, dots everywhere and pale leaves.

As I understand it @dwc420letsgo , start PH’ing to 6-7.0. Flush to 2.0-2.5EC then water with peroxide (how much per gallon?) then two days or so later add recharge.

You are saying the flushed soil will feed the plant? It is fox farm ocean forest that was top dressed with more but is about 30 days ago since I did that. I am skeptical that it will be hungry, or will the new microbes help break down the current EC and in turn feed plant?

I looked up recharge and am going to buy it. Says healthier plants in 48hrs, I could use that. At any point would you use maxi series powder and how much a gallon or EC?
Using 3% peroxide mix about 1:3 peroxide to water and drench roots. Make sure all media is drenched. This should kill off any bad bacteria. In your soil. Then recharge should help reinoculate the soil with good bacteria. This sjould help make any nutrients more readily available. If in a week if it looks hungry, top feed but remember less is more.

Look at your newer growth and see how it is doing in a week or so. Older damaged leaves won’t recover.

I have no space to top dress with more dirt but never found any rule of thumb researching how much fresh soil to top dress, I just assumed an inch or two? Or you mean with something else that is meant to be top dressed, if so what do you recommend? How much do you physically put?

I have no recipies or top dressing just more fox farm ocean forest and gro and maxi powder. I could get more but time is a factor depending where it has to come from. If top dressing with fresh soil and having microbes make the improvement needed I could see where I am over thinking it.

I am getting ready to flush right now.

I don’t know what 1:3 would be, what is that in terms of ml per gallon? For the peroxide.

1/2 cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide mixture to 1 gallon of water. Pulled that from a search of soil drench to sterilize.

Run off on the 1x1 is already 2.9 or 3.0. So perhaps consistant with the fact I feed frequent and top dressed recently. Ok that was before, now I am done flushing, the 2x2 run off is 2.2EC and the 1x1 is 2.5 EC. Is it normal that the high EC still made for pale underfed looking plants?

Now to soil drench with PH’d water 6.5 with h2o2 then let be for a day or two then add recharge that I should have by then with ph’d tap water 6.5 or drift between 6 and 7.

Did the soil drench started ph down water, 1/2 cup per gal h2o2 now to wait a day or two and use recharge. Im taking action! Will update.

Took large enough cuttings and root riot. Day 1 It dried out over night already and wilted. Like rock hard dry. Are they dead? Or doomed? I think they need water daily sitting in warm cabinet next to intake so air flows past it.

Re-hydrate and see if they come back. Put your plugs in a solo shot cup and make sure they are really wet and keep them moist at all times. I sometimes use a zip loc baggy over the cutting and sealed up over the cup a bit as you want to keep them high humidity

I just thought that a second ago that this is my space cabinet in flower so humidity is low but the temps are 72F and up where it is at and heat seemed to give me good results last time, almost got it to root all the way, like a root or two.

I tried putting in a cup of water in bedroom off to the side two and half weeks but wilted and died. Was 64-68F mostly.

Edit I went ahead and did that. Per hygro meter it has been humid right there prob because of the wet pot and turned fan off to make a micro climate.

If they don’t spring back they are done for and just take some new ones

The 1x1 seems the same but the 2x2 progressed over night in markings. Get recharge later today which was going to go ahead and feed with ph’d water 6-7Ph and update a few days later or a week. The 1x1 looks more swole now, more bud.

Finally got the recharge after a pita trying to get it so I am just now inoculating the soil. Hope the “better growth in 24 hrs” holds up. Could use a boost. Been ph ing my water down to 6-7.

Should you PH first or after adding recharge? edit I should of just googled it, not always effecctive but it was able to say do it last but im in a hurry and these plants sat in peroxide for 3 days. My question i guess is will it be ok if I phed before and after for this one time?

Recharge can be tank mixed and added to your usual water / nutrient solution. We suggest adding Recharge last, after you adjust your pH. Recharge will initially raise the pH of your solution, but you do NOT need to correct it. The microbes in Recharge are able to actively feed plants at a wide range of pH levels.

Ok I read that wrong at first, I actually ended up doing the right thing.

I don’t ph my tap water with or without nutrients or recharge. I just give it to them. If your in a well it’s fine to not ph your tap water but city water should be left uncovered for 24hrs to burn off chlorine before giving to the plants.
