All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio, or combination, of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates. These are/will be DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add-in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids) TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added-in larger, then smaller, ratios while the "Bloom Mix" concentrate will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely. The ppm and ratios will be listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. 98/28 Doing a morning check up today. So far most everything is on the same track as yesterday but now instead of burn holes from what I suspect to be light burn, I have some yellowing on the oldest leaves. I believe they are getting hit because they are the oldest and that's how my ph lockout worked, but they are on the top because of how I defoliated on flower day 18 when I took all fan leaves but these top 2-3 tier leaves. I decided to try turning the pot around 180degrees to see if any kind of light adjustments could help. Will monitor of course. PPFD is same as before 800 max and 600 minimum with nothing being adjusted but the plant orientation. Still using 1 hr of UVA at midday and 1 hr of IR at mainlight on/off schedule and 15/15 before and after. VPD is steady, 74-76F daytime, 66-68F after lights out, 55% or less RH, and auto set ILV. 99/29 Turning her seemed to help a little but still feel more comfortable with turning the lights down a little. So that's what i did, PPFD now 750 at max and left her turned to the same side. Still using 1 hr UVA per day and 1 hour of IR with 30/30 at main light schedule and 15/15 before and after main lights. VPD still automated with 73-76F during the day and 66-68F at night. 55% RH or less and auto ILV 100/30 Light Burn still showing slightly larger brown spots but not any new spots. So I will continue on the same light amounts and not change anything for another day/continue to monitor. Lights were on same schedule and ppfd of 750 max. I ran UVA and IR on the same schedules. VPD was again controlled at the same settings wtih 74-76F and 55%RH or lower and auto ILV. Plan to feed tomorrow 4 days since last feed on day 97. 101/31 Feed Day. Tested and calibrated ph pens. Had to make more Bloom Mix concentrate made by recipe and got 3890ppm over purified water starting ppm of 28. Prepared 2.5 gal of de-chlorinated tap (starting 262ppm) with 700ppm bloom mix concentrate (total 708ppm over de-chlorinated tap) watered until bottom drip began and let drain for 20 minutes. Got ~6.5 cups of runoff, was looking for 8 so I will be feeding 3 days from now. Runoff ph was 6.04 on two meters with 2070ppm, was looking for about 1500 so I will flush with plain water at next feed. Top-soil ph tested 3 times for an avg of avg 6.556 (6.67,6.48,6.52) I actually like this number and will use 7.0ph again on the next. Leaf controls were checked and plan to leave the lights where they are ppfd. Since there's no new leaves now I will just have to live with the damage and try not to go above 750ish with the two lights I am using. UVA and IR will stay the same as well. Same with VPD 74-76F and 55%RH or less with 4 fans oscillating directly at the colas. ILV on auto. 102/32 Noticed more nute burns on the tips of newer leaves that didnt have them before. So I think I may have introduced a bit more than normally gets through with the ph starting to come back into a growing range. Not a bad thing really since my ph is finally back, but there's a shock factor too, so I think that maybe what I am seeing in the burnt tips. Either way, the next feed wont be as strong. Light burn controls seem to have gotten more yellow like there's a deficiency getting transferred out from the older leaves. So next feed will still have nutes but not a full feed. I reduced the lights again to a max of 700 now. I did this because I added 10 more minutes to the daily UVA timer for midday. I am still using the 1hr of IR as previously used. No issues with VPD with temps and RH all controlled via auto fan settings. 103/33 Checked control leaves for light burn and nute burn progression. Neither seem to be getting worse but both look to be dominate on the oldest leaves. I cant think of any actions to take so Im leaving it all as it is for now. Lights were left at 700ppfd max and I ran the same 1 hr 10 minutes of UVA midday with 1 hr IR at main light on/off schedule (30/30 with 15/15 before and after main-lights. VPD still auto fan controlled and CO2 was checked again with a reading of 760 so no action is needed. 104/34 Happy Thanksgiving! Water Day. (last feed was on day 101/31) I prepared 2.75 gallons of purified water (starting ppm of 18) and added 390ppm of bloom mix concentrate. I then ph balanced it to 7.05-ish. I fed the whole amount even though I knew she would spit out anything over 1.5 gallons. The idea being that I want to break up some of the salts building up in the soil. With this amount I expected to get about 12 cups of runoff, and ended up with ~15 cups. The runoff ph tested at 5.9 of two meters (I rather this be higher) The run off ppm was 1940 and would rather this be about 1500 in a regular feed but since this is a flush feed this is where I want it to be. I hope it flushed out a lot of blocked pathways. The top soil ph tested 4 times with an avg 6.35ph (6.41,6.32,6.34,6.33). Only adjustments I see to the next feed will be to keep 7.05 to 7.1ph and maybe use less nutes than scheduled in the next feed. So instead of 700ppm maybe 650. Also plan to feed 2.5 gallons in 3 days so I expect about 8 to 11 cups of runoff at that time. I also checked the light burn controls and decided that I wont be running UVA everyday. But rather 3 times a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays only now. At that time I will hit her with 1 hour and 10 minutes mid day. I still plan to continue to use 1 hr of IR with 30/30 at light's on/off and 15/15 before and after. VPD still regulated to 74-76F during hte day and 66-68F overnight. RH controlled to 55% or less with auto fan settings.

Should I be concerned about my organic ph balanced Happy Frog soil having a ph value of 4.85 and a ppm of 2500?

pH is definitely a problem. Organic often reads much higher in PPM than what matters -- int his specific case, not everything can enter the plant, so the water that diffuses into the plant will have a lower ppm than what is in the soil -- this is not the case with "hydro" nutes that are 100% soluble and 100% plant-ready, therefore go into the plant fully and immediately as diffusion across semi permiable membrans of the roots occurs. 4.8 pH will lock out nutrients. it doesn't matter what kind of fertilizer you are using. now, soil pH readings are suspect to start. so that is also a consideration. any experience with this soil before and didn't measure these things? sometimes ingorance is bliss. running a bunch of ph-adjusted water through it will only waste your efforts of creating the soil - a lot of nutes will just go down the drain and never be used. so in future maybe find some amendments that help correct his low pH. water and let it simmer a bit to even out. Like adding garden lime i belive raises pH. This will provide a good amount of calcium too. possibly have to adjust anything else that adds Ca, if previous ratio/concentration of nutes was proper to start. mix some in, get it wet so it dissolves a bit, and it should cause pH to rise. can test with small sample of soil... work out ratio you want to add to large volume without ruining it. if you make amistake can just toss out teh small tester sample you used. so in regard to the ppm of the nutes.. it depends on many factors that are not given here. as far as the pH, if true, you definitely want to adjust that one way or another. 99% certain.

I haven't taken my seeds out of the package yet, but was looking at them closer; one has a deformity over the "belly button" of the casing (it doesnt appear to be to be an open crack). Should I ask for my money back or try to use it? Source says it was their last RR when I got it

Reach out to the breeder and ask em what they think and they might offer to send you one if they feel its deformed. Also call your bank where you got it from and ask them if they think it looks normal. They might offer some insightful advice. To me its weird but I would still grow it. if it does not germinate most companies have a germination guarantee. The RQS rep is on this site. if you message them they might be able to help. Good Luck!

Identified an issue this morning - went back through my pictures, identified the start, looked at the day before, and noted my changes that I took notes on at that time. Went to google to diagnose a few possible hypothesis and am now testing with a treatment. (suggestions?)

You have a calcium deficiency is what it looks like to me after reviewing your diary and feed. Feeding too strong as well, which might of caused a ph issue in substrate. I would check that as well.
