Shining Silver Haze Grow #1

09-01-2024 - Watered 8 cups per, 6.4 pH, 1060 PPM final, with 5/4/4/7 ml/gal CALMAG, Micro, Grow, Bloom - Plant 1 is showing advanced deficiency of either phosphorus or calcium. I think the nutes are blown from the Natures Living Soil at this point, and am switching back to a full feed schedule. Ordered a soil test to check NPK at least, but might need to flush and re-feed next week. - A little concerned I've messed up ratios with the epsom salts last time making a calcium deficiency worse... but the spotting really looks more splotchy like phosphorus so I'm torn - Defoliated a few of the worst leaves - Overall not sure if the NLS is the way to go... Ill probably try again with a GOOD bag of soil next time too, but I think I'm blowing the nutrients too quickly, and will need to find a way to re-amend at flip or something - Swapped plant 1 and 2 so order is 1, 2, 3 left to right again, in case the more intense light in the center is contributing - Bright side, gnats seem gone for several weeks now! 09-04-2024 - Top watered 1 gallon each, 5 ml/g CALMAG, 6.0 pH - Measured runoff of all plants, all around 6.4 pH and 1300 PPM - Plant 1 is still showing spotting like calcium, but also potentially potassium across all three plants... Checked pH pen and its calibrated to my fluid... but I'm suspecting the fluid is bad. Separate cheap pH soil tester says 7.0 across all three. Perhaps too much dolamite is buffering it TOO much? Separate soil test says pH is above 7 too... - Decide Sunday if I need to fully switch back to a nutrient feed cycle... the high PPM on the runoff makes me wonder now if this isn't all just pH issues. - Ordered new calibration solutions - Phosphorus test on plant 1, says "adequate" - Potassium test on plant 1 shows completely empty, but I think I must have messed up the test... repeat test. 09-05-2024 - New calibration fluid. Old ones are verified correct, and pH pen is calibrated correctly. Best guess is I added too much dolomite lime when I mixed the dirt up and its over-buffering closer to 7.0. Continue to adjust water at a lower pH and try and even out
