For this week, I saw some very dark leafs so I've lowered the amounts of FloraGro I put into the solution to lower the potassium availability a bit. I've also slightly increased the CalMag for this week only to counteract the deficit we had due to bad soil pH.
After reviewing my feeding/runoff data from last week, I've chosen to revert back to normal feeding pH (5.8 - 6.0) which was a good decision. I've fed to produce 20% of runoff which showed that the soil was back to normal. Feeding at 6.0 pH produced runoff pH that was close to the initial feeding water. PPM runoff is still a bit high, but I think that might be the fabric pot holding on to salts as I am now noticing pale colors on the new leafs which is a clear nutrient deficiency indicator, so I will go back to feeding at normal nutrient levels with decent runoff to keep flushing salt buildup at the same time.
I've put off topping and defoliation the plant this week as fixing the issues identified last week was more important. Seeing how everything seems mostly normal, I will do the topping and defoliation early next week.
Looking good there , I've got some bd on the go aswel and have had some deficiency and quite high runoff ppms from them in biobizz light mix even without using hardly any nutes yet and going into week 6, I've just repotted mine into final 20l containers with biobizz all mix so will be giving plain water with calmag for the next 2 weeks until they show me some signs but they are looking alot better now i got ppm runoff 👇
