When the amount of the nutrient solution drops below one gallon, the solution becomes more concentrated as plants absorb the nutrients. This results in widely fluctuating pH levels.

Plant still green after flushingIt's day 8 of my flush and the plant is still green, did i mess something up? I flushed it with 10L of tap water and 5 L of ph'D water to around 6.3 pH. I measured EC of the run off and it measures the same μS of the water that went in, maybe varies here and there by 0.1μS.5y ago

Should I switch to well water?I use tap water. For our normal flower/vegetable garden we use well water. I measured the EC/PPM of both.
Tap: 0.5 mS/cm (=320 ppm), we live in an area with soft tapwater according to Water Agency (11°F-13°F max)
Well: 0.32 (=205 ppm) -> how do I interpret this for well water?Feeding. Other

Add weight in flowering?Would a black strap molasses brewed tea help my buds add weight? I'm using only Fox Farm Trio and CalMag with reverse osmosis water, pH @6-6.5.
While I have atleast 2 weeks left I'd like to get the most weight possible, if there is anything I can do this late in flower that is.5y ago

Nutes mixing order??I’ve just read that you have to add calmag before the micros. I wasn’t aware of this specific order. My plants have been struggling, is there a chance that because I’ve been adding calmag as the last before pH, this is the cause of my issues?? What other problems can this cause?Week 4

Voeding geven kokosHi !
Ik vroeg me af of het oke is dat ik mijn zaailingen die in Jiffy's geplant zijn (8 dagen oud), sinds vandaag al een heel klein beetje groeivoeding en wortelstimulator geef. Ik ben er al mee gestart omdat ze in kokos zitten, maar is dit toch misschien te vroeg?
Bedankt!Feeding. Other

PH meter was wrongSo I learned my lesson by not checking the calibration of my PH meter. It was off by .6 and I don’t know for how long. The run off of my plants are right at 6.0. Using FFOF soil. Will it bounce back now that I recalibrated my PH meter or do I need to flush all the plants.Feeding. Other
