I've been feeding 3 times/day at an EC = 1300...
MediciGradestarted grow question 4 years ago
I've been feeding 3 times/day at an EC = 1300 and PH = 6.2. Runoff this morning was ~700 on average. The plants appear to be happy but I'm worried that I'm underfeeding them and its slowing down growth. Should I increase EC? Should I start feeding more often?

The plants look happy, so if you make changes, make them slowly. Your run-off EC being that much lower than your inflow is kind of weird. A walk up of EC by maybe 50 or 100 points every few days shouldn't be too harmful - but be ready to back down at the first sign of leaf edges crisping.
The difference between them from week 8 to 9 is just marvelous!

Ph perfect... That's your problem dude that stuff is garbage for growing cannabis I'm sorry. I don't blame you I blame Advanced Nutrients for selling a really bad product.... Your medium is saturated with Ph buffers and all sorts of stuff from the Advanced Nutrients stuff... It really is Hot Garbage.. Expensive and not very good at growing Cannabis.

Hey. Nitrogen uptake it best at 5.5 to 6.0 anything 6 or above is for flowering time. I would test your ph tester.
I watch the stems of the leaves of my girls. If their not a purple plant by trait then the stems of the leaves should be green.when they start turning red or purple their telling me they need more food. But, you have to know their wanting more food and not turning red or purple because they can't take up the food that is there, do to lockout, salts building, or even to high ph that their not pulling in what they need. Happy growing. Cheers

Suggestions or commentsComments or suggestions on my grow. She seems to be doing alright so far. Looks a little pale green. I just started nutes on Monday, GH Flora series, hopefully the color gets better. She’s due for water probably tonight. Wondering if I should feed again or just water.

When to cut off feeding nutrients?At what point do I stop feeding nutrients? So far I have done two applications of Gaia Green Power Bloom but none since last week. I don't know how long the flower period will go so I don't want to feed to close to harvest. Can I just use the compost tea and CalMag from now on?Week 6

How do you know a plant needs PK ?Last time I gave them 7ml of Pk 5-8 (7L pots) and I burned them. Probably the water already had too many nutrients (mineral water + osmosis water). How do you know if they need this extra Pk or not ? Is there any sign ? Thx !

TDS education needed please xHi gang. Have a query around TDS. My girls have had their second nute feed today (using alternating method) of GH products at 50% conc. The TDS of the mix (PH 6.3) was 500 and fed enough to gain around 10% runoff. This tested at 702. Acceptable or not? More nutes next time? Thx x

Last week before harvestI am looking to my last week of flower before harvest (possibly two weeks away) is there anything specific I should do prior to 72hrs darkness, chop, dry, cure? Should I completely remove all fan leaves for the last week? I'm not flushing, but should I increase a specific nute?
