Might be excess Nitrogen, or the plant is that color, might be related to lower temps in winter. If you're feeding with lots of N, staph!

Ongoing pH issues Watered at 6.5 pH and runoff was at 5.5. I am going to start watering at a higher pH today and continue measuring runoff. Should I stop feeding at this time? I have been feeding 1/2 dosage of Fox farms trio with every watering last 2 weeks. Is there likely soil build up to flush?

CalMag during a flush?I was wondering whether or not I should keep feeding CalMag while flushing the plants. I've read a lot about the flushing process but since CalMag is not considered a fertilizer, I am not sure how to handle the deficiency at the end of the grow. Any tips? Thank you guys!
