Interesting ok thanks, still learning! Yeah, what's going in is pretty hot compared to the slurries, so I do think she's eating pretty good, but yes, my ph has been on the lower side like 6.3 or so going in. I finding I am using a ton of Olympus Up, will just use even more to get the PH up a bit next feeding I think. I am slowly increasing the Herc, I am up to 3tbsp/gallon now, plus a good bit of Demeters too. Also for what it's worth the clawing got a lot better overnight which made me happy, I think she was just hungry... Thanks!We are happy to help, I'm always learning
What was your feed ppm & ph before clawing? That slurry is good, she is eating and prolly wants a little more so don't flush and ease off any microbe application.....don't go crazy and cook her but get a couple solid feeds at 6.6-6.8 ph range to get that cal phos to go in, 6.4 and lower is where your getting more limestone calcium available, while the mid to upper 6's is where the Herc really gets movin!! May not even need to bump up nutrients, could just be ph thing....some varieties can be finicky this way. Then if this seemed to do the trick, your primed for nice tea bath. Maybe cut BK in half too if your using in feed, it will allow some more food to be available to the soil life, and return the microbes will assist in buffering your media back up into the upper 6's. Use this as a guideline but get a good slurry b4 that tea day to really nail down Your next move.
