Just recently I've started writing things down at the let's say request of a friend of mine (she gets bugged that I do this without ever writing anything) so I started recording my run-off

4 plants were pretty much the same, but there's always that one plant that even though all of them are treated the same it does weird things!

For now just get everything squared properly calibrate and get used to your meters, when you get your numbers post them up and maybe we can help

You're 2 weeks from harvest. There's no need to add anything to your plant. Why chase your tail around over the runoff at this point, much less any point? If your runoff pH is your only perceived problem, you may just be getting a little bored waiting on your girls to flower out. You're in soil...just water your plants and let them finish; you'll be fine. When they finish, take what you learned, make some notes, figure out your new meters and apply the lessons to your next grow.

The run off ph & ppm is useless if your in dirt? Runoff ph will always be low & ppm will always be high! You can flush the shit out it and still will be low or high! Worry more about what ph & ppm is going in! If the plant don't look good post a pic of it :eyesmoke:
