I have been micromanaging the last scrog here, alot more than my past ones....tried so new things, didn't go so well...it was fine until I played with my nutrients...i remebr speaking with you when I was still veggin, when I first had the problem...
That was runoff bro...im.not contradicting myself. Reread the post, I'm being polite and saying what happened
I said it 5.5 this time, and second to last I was at 5.9, right after...I'll be fine, thank you for the help
I’ve never tested runoff and rarely have any but I think happy plants tend to have a clear runoff and sickly plants seem to have a lot of color.
My lava rock in bottom gives it color, but usually when in not lower than 5.9 or so, I'm good...I check it to make sure, just because I guess....something I learned and have always done...did it with hydro..
When I was 5.9 on last feeding, I was speaking of runoff. I was speaking of runoff in the sentence prior to, meaning 5.9 was the runoff of my second to last feeding...
I have plenty of run off...plants should water through, cleanes crap outta there, old dried up fert, no build up of access sediment, etc, in my opinion**** I should say...about a gallon goes in, say maybe a 1/3 or so should come out...depends on your drainage,aeration and medium is set up. Or choir, or coco pellets, etc. In my opinion friend...I don't have much runoff when I'm still in small pot before transplant, not wanting to drown small root structures, longer to dry, etc...but that's it...for me that is..
This is what I was just talking with another guy about, or what my response was...it goes with this one as well, I feel..
I will shoot 6.5...that makes sense...I always felt paranoid in my tight range I was in anyway, so I agree with you
Yes, your correct...if everything is in line and no bad symptoms, really no reason to do a check for illness(runoff test)...i had just become accustomed to it...I've got a wicked tester too brother, fresh tip on it
as well, the mesh tip..
You might want to grab a bottle of PH tester solution to calibrate it properly ( no need for those powder packs that sometimes come with it ) - liquid is easier and ready to use. Grab a shotglass and test.
Question...think i can throw a hang bag, decomp, for some extra carbon dioxide?? Have a nice exhaust set up, probe and triggers, also a passive intake hole smaller than exhaust port(my fresh air)**just want to increase if able during flower??
Unless your tent is sealed, it's a waste of time, also at 77 degrees it's not warm enough for CO2 to be effective
What temp to shoot for??
I know, about the leaves, thanks....they were purposefully removed, explaining why in previous post. I agree with you, but not a newbie friend...tried something new, didn't go so well...I can bounce a plant back from heavy prune in less than two weeks, looks like nothing touched it, big scrogs, veg 4 months and fill tents with 2 plants, don't need 4... this is a small one. A project...anyway, I pruned to close to me flipping to flower, only gave it a week, and it had already slowed down from its fimming, so I was hit, and that's that...did u see it before I said it had gotten sick...was a beast
Because I veg for a while, and don't always topdress after months go by, I check runoff to make sure I'm good...just something I do friend...I do agree chasing ph runoff can get hectic, and be a rabbit hole
Also never said I was going to load up on nutes....asked about a decomp drip...
