Beginning the week, I have raised the height of the light to 24 inches. I also added a fan and got a PH tester. The pots are showing a PH of about 8.0 . Yesterday, I started a little bit of feeding. I had rinsed out my Costco milk jug, to a gallon of water I added 3 teaspoons of big grow and 2 tablespoons of big bloom. This morning rechecking the knuckle depth and ph everything was dry. This morning I took the small watering can made liberal perimeter circles about 4-6 inches from the stem and then the usual misting over the top. This is the second time I have used the watering can. I must admit that I have been uber-conservative about watering with the watering can. What I have been doing two to three times a day is just misting the surface of the media. I have been running the exhaust fan at night. 7/30-I gave all the plants a half gallon in total with Big Bloom and Growbig added to a gallon of water.I am going to maintain the FOX Farms recommendation for big grow and big bloom then starting to add in the tiger grow next week. The plants were feeling a little papery and felt that I needed to step up the water as the media was extremely dry. This is the first time I watered the plants and saw water come out of the bottom of the pot. The plants looked great this morning. I am not planning to feed again until Wednesday.

Grow Questions

Radicallatebloomerstarted grow question a year ago
On the sixth week my plants looked amazing. I raised the light to 24 inches and started increasing the Tiger Bloom-only changes that. My thoughts are that I have burned the plants. Should I remix food with just grow big and big bloom? What else should I do?

i don't see overwatering. i see poor watering habits are likely as i look through weeks of diary. FFOF is hot soil. it can provide nutes for over a month. As i click through weeks you start feeding in week 4 or so and it quickly gets glossy leaves within a couple weeks. it's overfed, which cna also be exacerbated by the likely bad watering habits. water entire pot. never some volume you choose. that's hubris. Water until entire thing is wet.. a little runoff is fine. Wait for top 1" to dry and repeat. when you have a small plant and a large pot, lie you did early on, it's difficult to water properly. a small column is fine, but make sure it gets wet all the way to the bottom. you don't want it soaking wet for long periods of time, the plant should be able to drink up what you give within 3-5 days. a little longer is fine, if temporary, but long-term it's a really bad thing that will only invite pathogens in your root zone as well as suboptimal root growth - like disproportionate amount of superficial roots. scrolling through your diary i don't see that type of watering habit being used, but i could be wrong. pH is way too high if it is really 8. Soil slurries and runoff are not accurate measurements for rootzone. i see overfeeding and watering issues, though, so i'd get that worked out first, and if plant is healthy, that pH may be misleading or if still some residual issues, try to water with a lower pH water and it should correct the issue over time. usually pH issues cause many symptoms to be visible. i see a droopy plant with a hint of n-deficiency, but i'd get the irrigation process down first before reacting. not doing that right can cause all sorts of issues.
