- Lower pH feed water seems to have slowed signs of deficiency, trimmed some of the worst leaves off
- Top watered 1 gal each, with 1Tbsp molasses and 2 Tbsp Nature's Living Soil per gallon. Mix was at a pH of around 7, and I tried to lower it with pH down, but putting in .5 ml/gal pH barely moved to 6.7 so I didn't add more since I saw people say not to bother with teas anyway... will monitor, and continue back to a low-pH water only feeding next time

- Top watered 1 gallon each, 1ml/gal CALMAG pH'ed to 6.0
- Plants all are showing DIFFERENT deficiencies, phosphorus, nitrogen, etc., but still suspecting over-buffering of the medium, so watering at a lower pH again to try and balance it out after the NLS tea on Sunday which had a 7.0 pH no matter what I did

- Defoliated blocking leaves, final defoliation to get some light lower
- Removed a few spent leaves
- Watered 1 gal each, 1 ml/gal CALMAG, 0.33 tsp epsom salt as seeing some lighter green again, 6.13 pH
- Water measured 6.7-6.8 coming out, continue watering lower pH water and watch, going into week 7 so not looking to fertilize much more
@cjfarmer, At level 9/14 inches from canopy I was hitting about 850 center and 650 or so at the center of the side plants. At 10/14 I am hitting closer to 1050/850 now in the last weeks of flower.
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.
