[Blue Dream] Second batch

This past week has been one of cautious observation. While it’s hard to tell how well the calcium deficiency is being resolved—especially during flower when new growth is limited—the plant seems stable for now. The rate of leaf degradation hasn’t noticeably increased, and I’ve even seen what looks like some fresh green growth. It’s too early to call it an improvement, but stability in itself feels like progress given the challenges of the past few weeks. The focus this week was on combating acidic soil by feeding at a higher pH. Both feeds went in around 6.28, and runoff came out consistently lower at about 6.05, confirming the soil remains acidic. Runoff PPM readings climbed from 1100 to 1150, suggesting that salts continue to accumulate in the medium. These values reflect a slow but ongoing buildup, so keeping salts in check while addressing pH remains the priority. The plan moving forward is to water next with added Cal/Mag to help flush excess salts from the medium and maintain balanced nutrient levels. This will be followed by a switch to Jack’s 321 nutrient program for subsequent feeds. The goal is to stabilize the medium and address nutrient uptake issues while keeping an eye on pH trends. With the plant entering a critical phase of flower, creating a healthy environment for root absorption remains the top priority.
