Say if I get a high reading of 800ppm from runoff. And my goal is to be around 650ppm.
Would I just flush and bring it down to goal?
Or am I just to feed less next?
Still trying to get this ppm stuff, cheers.

U can flush to force the salts out.
Or u can water with balanced PH water. a few times (Or however many it takes) until its 650ppm or below :)

The pH of the runoff continues to drop below 6.0 with each feed, resulting with me trying to bounce it back every other watering. I would like for the pH to be more stable. Any ideas why this might be happening? I am using Advanced Nutrients pH perfect - Grow, Micro, Bloom.Week 6

Nutrient burn/deficiencies/feedingHaving difficulties with a few of my plants, I didn’t add any nutrients until they were close to 30 days old. And then only cal-mag at what I thought were low doses.
One of mine has lost almost all leaves. What would you guys recommend moving forward? I have almost all fox farmsLeaves. Curl down

Did I give too much fertilizer??So I decided to add in some soluble fertilizers. I gave it a 1/4 tsp (50% of recommended dosage) a couple days ago and noticed some yellowing of new growth on the bud sites. Is this a sign of excess potassium and phosphorus? I gave it Fox Farm Open Sesame (5-45-19).5y ago
