Please help with Advanced Nutrients

I fed my plants with nutes 7 days ago and my plants just dried up today and I know AN says to water with ph water at least once a week so is it okay to skip a ph watering one time and feed nutes twice in a row at full strength or will I see some problems??? oh and now I know to water around the stem until the roots expand enough to soak all the soil....Her is what I would be feeding

Sensi Grow A+B 8ml each per gallon
Mother Earth Super Tea 8ml per gallon
Superthrive 1ml per gallon
Humic Acid 1Tbsp per gallon
molasses 1Tbsp per gallon PH 6.3-6.5 ppm 1000

Thanks for the help guys

How far along are you into the cycle. I give my plants 16 mL per gallon too (connoisseur A+B)when I want the ppm's to be 1080-1180 and I only need them that high cause I'm in the 3rd week of flower.
But I don't used two base nutrients. Why are you using Sensi and Mother Earth. Those are base nutrient.
You only need to use one base nutrient as a....base. For a lack of a smarter word...
You have to chose one or the other an stick with that. Usually it depens n the stage of growth your in; i.e. you wouldn't use a vegitative nutrient base if your in flower and vice versa.

I am in my 5th week of veg I topped for the last time yesterday so flower in 2 weeks....How do you like conni is it worth the money

as long as the PH of your medium is ok it doesnt really matter..one un-PH'd watering wouldnt mess your numbers up that bad especially if your growing in soil..what did u mean when u said your plant dried up? u only water once a week or do u feed once a week?

I feed once a week but my roots have not expanded enough so my soil finally got dry enough to water after 7 days my ph is cool I just dont know if 2 full strength feedings in a row will cause salt biuld up or nutrient lock out

when it stays wet for a week that might mean your plants aren't taking in the water and maybe your not feeding it enough or it could be a couple other things..how big is your pot? what strain you growing? indica or sativa dominant? and the last 2-3 times you watered what was your PH??

You should feed once a week and give a watering in between. This allows the fertilizer to be fully used. If you don't alternate you could risk fert burn and build up of salts. Think if you didn't go the bathroom after everyday you ate, bad analogy?

Conni is amazing I use it and I stay in the same range of ppm as previous post. GREAT STUFF Worth every penny

I just transplanted from 1 to 3 gallon pots im growing bubba kush from greenhouse seeds heavy indica and when I water my ph is between 6.3-6.5 but its usally 6.4

one of the biggest reasons people get so much nute burn with AN is because they use a different ppm scale. AN uses a NaCl ppm scale, which is your EC x 700 = ppm. default ppm meters use EC x 500 = ppm which is also known as TDS and is based off KCl. Mother Earth Tea is a base nutrient or supplement. If you add 500ppms of mother earth, you would want to subtract 500 ppms of sensi. u should drop the mother earth and invest in some b52 or root excelurator instead imo

yeah I just transplanted from 1 to 3 gallon pots and instead of watering around the stalk I soaked the whole medium so it took 7 days to dry out usally I feed once a week and water with just ph water until they need to bed fed the next week so do you think skipping 1 plain ph watering will cause problems

I use great white to get my roots big and healthy but I really do need to pick up some b52 but I like the super tea just the veg one though not the bloom

I usally use the tea as an additive 3ml per gallon its got a good npk for veg my plants really seem to like it I fed them once with the ratios I gave in my original post and my plants went ape shit explosive growth great color and reaching for the like

o ok it could be numerous things..it might stay wet cuz you just transplanted and yes after u transplant you water and almost flood the medium then allow it to dry out..or it could be the bubba kush, indica strains take along time to drink or take in nutrients but it could also mean your adding to much water and NOT ENOUGH nutrients.

hmmm yeah it could be a number of things I suppose im now just watering around the stalk and they are drying out in 3 days on some other plants I think that's the key for now I just don't think the roots have expanded through out the 3 gallon pot yet so the water has to just evaporate and that takes time im also watering 1/2 a gallon as apposed to 1 gallon I feed pretty high at about 1000 ppm with good NPK ratios I guess ill give it some time and see where im at

 

[Cali.Grown>408]

when i grew bubba kush i had like 6other strains going to and the bubba kush would drink the water really slow..i would water my other strains and they would dry out in 2days but the bubba would take up to 3-4 days..some strains are just like that..mostly 100% indicas like bubba kush, gdp, etc.....they take in less water but can handle higher ppms (stronger feedings).

 

[dizzlekush]

id give the plants everything you normally do minus the Sensi just to be on the safe side. what were your ppms from your last runoff? it sounds like you need a bigger root mass. a good bacteria product will work best for that. i suggest Subculture B from General Hydroponics because its cheap, filled with trichoderma and bacteria that are hand picked to survive a salty environment (GH Flora series is about as salty as it gets).

 

[jdd616]

Thanks to all you guys for your feedback I really appreciate it guys

 

[Cali.Grown>408]

dont get that subculture stuff bro get HYGROZYME..i've used both and hygrozyme works pretty damn good and its bacteria free.

Yeah that stuff is great but I still got a full bottle of sensizyme but it works good to

 

[Cali.Grown>408]

yea Sensizyme is pretty much the same shit just from a different manufacturer..my boy uses what u use and it works for him 2
