This makes your ratio sit at

12–8-14

Your N is too high
Honestly Smoke, thats only a portion of what I feed my plants. I also feed big bud, bud candy and rhino skin too. I will be using over drive later on instead of the big bud to finish.

Edit: Its even more confusing than just the base nutes sadly. I also dont feed them all in the same amounts. I will just keep doing it by feel and being conservative until I have a better understanding of it all.

He suggested that route or take a couple gals out and replace . Went with keep the soup cooking and raise ppm . Have had this problem before and just added more nutes and top off res with water . Usually come out ok . Guess we will see .
just remember what he said about all the bonded junk in there that won't help your girls at all. I swapped out my reservoir a few days ago - if you don't have one of these yet i highly recommend one:

This thing was a game changer. I just brought a bucket over to the DWC bucket, drained the main bucket with the wand and stepped away ( i knew there wasn't enough to overflow a 5 gallon bucket - besides the wand pump has a auto shutoff like a gas station)

then brought over the bucket with 4 gallons of fresh nutes and reversed the wand and poured 4 gallons straight into the DWC bucket. Never lifted her once.

Might just be me thinking . I find from doing res changes slows what’s in my bucket . All the gff

that thing looks bad ass . I understand the bonding process. My thing is it’s been going fine as what I’m doing . Guess in 24-48 hrs if things go south I’ll know my mistake .

Hope I’m not coming off as dickish or what not . I appreciate the suggestion. That idea will be on the back burner if I see neg response to upping my ppm .

oh no i don't think so at all - after all it's your grow! You ultimately have to make the decisions that have your garden in its best interests, even if that means waiting a bit to see what happens :)

oh and ice my suggestion that i replaced my bucket 3 days ago - just a note that my plant is 47 days old, we're at different points in the process. I chose to dump just because i was going into flower :)

I’ve been doing this way for a couple weeks now . Usually if I see ppm drop to below what I fed a couple days ago and ph starts tanking then I know it’s tine to bump it back up . After it’s all good . Raised it higher this time so we will see if she explodes or has a heart attack

That I might do . Def root trim . My bucket looks like it’s filled with cooked spaghetti bubbling .

So you’d get a PK boost in that. Any way just lower your N a bit. This is any easy fix in soil. I always just water only for a few weeks when N tox sets in allowing the plant to eat that N up. But hydro mediums is a bit different. I’d flush and pick back up where I left off backing off the N.

But if you add GFF back into the reservoir what have you really changed. The microbes will have colonized in the roots... you won’t lose those. And then you refresh with fresh GFF. Idk just my thought process I could be completely wrong lol. But don’t change it if it ain’t broke! Lol like you said put it on the back burner if shit goes south make that move. Well... actually just do what you want lol it’s your grow I’m thinking out loud and typing at the same time. Lmao!

I could be wrong and it could bite me in the ass . I’ll check ph later on in afternoon and see if it stabilized and see if ppm dropped to the slightest . I’ve been having a good 10-20 drop a day . I hope this thing yields me well . Side note 3 bears and double grape from Mephisto are some fire bud .
