# Day 32 - 36 ######### Finally finished some of the researching and experimentation, yaay! 🙌 PH and EC meters are cleaned and re-calibrated, even though they were in a good shape and within range, as I’m taking care of them well. Ordered new and threw away some of the old nutrients, as they had some salt precipitate in them, most probably affecting the NER (Nutrient Element Ratio), which is not ideal. 😒 Flushed and started high frequency (daily) fertigation at 25% nutrient strength (instead of the initial 50%) and going to gradually working upwards the root zone EC, following and noting everything in the meantime, just like until now, hehe. 😉 Note: Never flush coco coir with plain or only CalMag water, as you upset the buffering and also shock the plant, especially an auto! 💀 Run-off PH is at limit, between 5.3 and 5.5, but she seems alright, so I’m not really worried about it, as input fertigation PH is between 6.1 and 6.2. 👍 Also adding CalMag before nutes, as I realized that I didn’t do the coco buffering quite right at the beginning. Starting with 50% strength initially, not to upset the EC too much, then 100% strength within a few days. 👏 Note that the Boost (25%) and PowerZyme (100%) nutrients are added only twice weekly. PowerZyme at full strength for the complete effect, as it doesn’t really affects the EC (just like the RootComplex, but which is not needed now). 💪 The result is some new, vigorous and green growth with some trichomes, beside the existing deficiencies, as you can see on the pictures, awesome! 👽 Not going to defoliate and remove any leaves, just in case it’s more than 50% damaged, as we need all the possible green now! 😈 # Day 38 - 41 ######### Now this is a nice green bounce back, she seems to doing much better, yaay! 🙌 Added some more ventilation at the top, as we start to step into a quite nice flowering from now on. 😈 Started to include the the PK 13/14 nutrient too in the meantime. Initially at 25% strength, but at the end of the week bumped all main nutrients up to 37.5% (Coco, PK and Boost)! 😲 For an input fertigation EC of 820 uS we get a run-off EC about ~480 uS. It was lower every time from the beginning of high frequency (daily) fertigation, but recently started to climb a little. As a side note, you can see the Strawberry Gum doing quite well too in the corner. 😍 ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

What am I doing so wrong here? Using fresh tap water. PH should go up because of alkalinity (like in my previous, 2nd grow ever). Same nutrients, same schedule, but bigger pot this time. Do I need to lose this much time flushing in the future? 😵

The PH pen calibrated- do it once a week.

First thing is to recalibrate your pH meter and remeasure. You should also be measuring your EC. Most cases, your best course of action is keep feeding between 6.5-6.8 with lightly fertilized water. I'm guessing your medium is too hot, but you dont want to risk starving her either. I would feed at about 400-500ppms until everything stabilizes. When the EC of the runoff hits the level you want (probably 700-900ppms), you can raise the feed to that level. If the runoff ppms start going up, lower your nutes a little. If the runoff ppms start going down, raise your nute levels. Pay close attention to this and you'll always be spot on for feed strength if we assume you're using the correct ratios.
