i know flushing seems rather obvious but i was trying to avoid that in hopes of learning more about this deficiency. theres sooooooo much false information nutrient def online its almost impossible to use google images to identify one

Nothing good is going to come from keeping you're plants in that mix. Except their extinction.
Anyways, best of luck with you're grow.

i noticed the grow has a shit load of potassium almost a scary amount
K= Potassium

Personally, I like higher K levels, all grow long. I think P is over used and K is under utilized...


Dump and refill that res......Bottom line!

Microbes are not living in a synthetic feed hydro system!

Vacuuming out the old...IS the curse of hydro! And some folks say it's easy.....giggle!

is there any good reason to pick fox farm bigbloom/tiger bloom over the cns17 ripe/bloom. only thing that catches my attention is the fact they dont list alot of the things that are in cns17 on the label.

i wish there was a dislike button for all of your uneducated comments
Sir, you are the one that needs a education. I have a degree in plant science from a respectable ag university.
I'd suggest learning simple plant physiology first.

Depending on how much up you're using, does a 3-2-19 sound like a balanced diet.

Food is good.
You really don't need to add a Silica. Your about to flip to bloom any way.
Use baking soda for an UP and skip the high K up altogether

As far as waiting.
You will not "see" any recovery in the old growth by waiting. In hydro (or any style), any visual change will be seen in new growth only.That takes only 3-5 days.....
So, go ahead and flip to bloom if your ready.....The new fresh nutrient will fix any def., etc. faster then you'll see it.
There will be no effective difference in them blooming and recovering or vegging and recovering. It's faster then most understand..

I feel your pain.......I get asked by friends who glide through the site..."Why do you bother?"
