im not a huge chem guy so my advice on that subject is mediocre. maybe half your nute feed for the next few waterings seems like 3rd monkey could give you better advice on that.
FF will buffer for as long as you need, that's largely in its cation exchange capacity. It will only feed for a few weeks because it will deplete those cations and nutrition will need to be added. However, it's what you're feeding. Heavy K, Ca, P (direct relationship with Mg) and Mg will block Iron.From what ive read FF will buffer me for a few weeks, ive had these plants in this soil for almost a month now if im not mistaken. The only feeding ive done is 1/4 strength, big bloom, calmag. Do you think that could still be a lockout?
Oh wow okay! Thanks for the great reply. Was thinking 6.3 was on the lower level. I will go even lower then! Thanks for that advice. What do you suggest for that top compost layer?FF will buffer for as long as you need, that's largely in its cation exchange capacity.

If you are watering at 6.3, you're too high. OF is a peat based mix and it acts like it. 5.8-6.0 will help you out, as would a top layer of compost to boost your microbes. They will fix the situation much quicker than you can.
6.3 is a fair ph for soil... Which OF really isn't. It's more of a hot compost with peat. In simplest terms, metals need to be slightly more acidified in a "hydro" element for proper uptake.Oh wow okay! Thanks for the great reply. Was thinking 6.3 was on the lower level.

Do you suggest i change up what im feeding with at all or just go less/straight water?
Ive got Fox Farms trio, liquid karma, cal mag, seaweed extract, molasses, fish guana, recharge, mykos/azos.
Thanks!
