- Top watered 1 gal each, 6.1 pH, 1/3/4/9 CALMAG/Micro/Gro/Bloom feeding as plant 3 really looks malnourished and is dropping leaves. 750 PPM going in
- 6.3-6.4 pH out, 1200 PPM out on plant 3, but 1500 PPM out on 1 and 2

- Top watered 1 gal each, 6.1 pH, 1/4/4/9 CALMAG/Micro/Gro/Bloom feeding 850 PPM going in
- 6.3-6.4 pH out, 1600 PPM out, probably should leave it there and go water only from here on out for the last two weeks
- Boosted lights to 10, 1050 PPM center, 850 sides
- Learnings: I really think I overdid the dolomitic lime in the base soil mix trying to fix the bad bag of soil. Either that raised the soil pH TOO much, or caused a calcium lockout or something that caused the stunting on all three. Plant 3 seems to have blown through all of its nutrients though, despite top dressing NLP multiple times, and I really think next time Im gonna go to Gaia Green route instead. Im feeding nutes just because I dont have enough time for slower acting NLP stuff and I want to goose all three in these final three weeks or so.
- Next time I'll be going ProMix HP, Gaia Green, Worm Castings, about half the dolomite because I still think the cal/mag it supplies is gonna be a good idea, and Recharge periodlically with no synthetics. I have friends doing the full synthetic route with Coco doing very well, but I'm hunting terps and taste which organics are SUPPOSED to be able to supply better.
1 gallon per plant plant per 24hrs? Is that correct? That seems like a lot. ease back on watering until the bugs buzz off. Bare minimum. feed the plant not the bugs.
LOL, no, I'm watering 1 gallon / plant every 4 days or so. Probably less actually as I'm doing one heavy watering on Sundays, and a lighter watering mid-week. I just didn't want to do the math for the measurement per day. 😁
Corrected to be more accurate. at .33 gal a day.
