Well been a few days now. Things are going well just got my floraflex nutes in. I've been super lazy with setting up the blumats but I have an extended long weekend for Jesus' pet bunny day so I'm hoping to get some work done. It's been nice having the pots 'free' from being tied into an irrigation system as I'm using this new light and trying to tweak my environment to remain 'ideal'. With the crazy weather and such, one days hot one days cold one days humid on days dry. FN brutal to try to keep things on the level but I seem to be doing a good job so far.
Kinda scared to feed what the chart is telling me with the floraflex. I know @bk78 was saying he's feeding med strength and everything's going good but I'm leaning towards the cautious side and feeding the 'low' strength and slowly working my way up. I'm also trying to not to use calmag as the chart says 'no calmag' so we will see.

Flowering starting to show nicely now. Defoliation time comming this weekend. Gona prob get a bit silly with this one because it's pretty packed and humidity has been raising up with the warmer weather (lol as I say that it's snowing outside) so I want to make sure we're getting good airflow and light penetration.

I'm really liking the floraflex nutes. Easy to use and bang on ec everytime. I'm feeding low strength with added silica for a few sessions then just water once every 2 weeks or so because I don't run off. The plain water gets microbial mass and maybe some microbe feed like nature's candy or honey chrome. Whatever I got laying around.

Nah, was lazy and didn't set them up in this tent. Wife had some health concerns and we were back and forth drs and tests etc so I didn't have much time and just gave them water twice this week and seems like she has some p-k def (not the wife the plants lol) I'll take a better look this weekend. Off today and Monday so I've got a bit of time to run some tests and see what's going on.
Only the fpog x pp yellowed. So either its too much --- lockout or too little nutes. Everything else got watered a bit early hence the slight droop. Life gets in the way sometimes. I can grow more weed. Can't grow a new wife.

’Which feed chart are you using?

I'm using ' full tilt low strength no calmag'. I tried medium strength on some autos and while they did great I had a bit of overfeeding issues but the end. They were also in coco tho and autos so yes diff beast but I err on the side if caution and went with a lower feed and observe. Everything seems to be alright but I think I can bump up a bit so if I mix 12 gal I'll mix for 13-14g which raises my ec by .2

You thinking overwatering? It's possible. I used my big pots. 7gal ... They didn't veg long and fpog x pp was a real root bitch. Took a long ass time to pop roots and I ended up culling one cut and switching it with a frosted fruit cake (good decision). So it's entirely possible it's getting too much water.

All the leaves pointing down tells me it’s something in the root system. I prefer small pots of coco myself. Have you tested the EC coming out after a feed?
