A pot can not run off because it has no legs!😁

You may need to add more water. Pot could be so compact that it could take a while to get runoff. Best of luck with your grows!

More water to achieve runoff, soil may be too compacted if you didn't add perlite to it. Rule of thumb is ~20% of what you watered in to the pot as runoff.

Hi mate, you are probably only giving enough to wet the soil. add more water to experience run-off. Good luck

Sick leaves, good buds
Some leaves look sick. (Last photos at 8 weeks) Is this an overdose? Do I need to fix this? From fertilizers, I apply only ripen. I plan to give it 2-3 times and then flush and harvest. I know that ripen helps to end life and makes the leaves turn yellow, but not so!

DIY fertilizer - Beet and sugar beet.
Beet molasses, has anyone had experience with that beside Biobizz products ? I was thinking to make an experiment with beet, but I can't find the sugar one at my country, so would any other strain be good for that? Any comment about diy fertilizer is welcome !!

Flushing Autos
I’ve heard arguments for flushing from every 4th feed to once every 4 weeks or some growers don’t flush at all until the end right before harvest . I should note this relates to coco grow medium .

Is 1ml/L of food (I'm using Floramicro/bloom) enough feed throughout the growing phase ?
Is 1ml/L of food (I'm using Floramicro/bloom) enough feed throughout the growing phase ? I was advised that fastbud cream cookies don't like too much feed and that 1ml/L is enough however i don't know when I should up the dosage or if I need to at all.

Watering till runoff now... runoff ppm was 2500+... Will be using very mild nutes to flush over 1 - 3 feeds... or until I am near my input, does this sound like an ok idea?

Gearing up to use compost teas this pump. What is your "general" rule for teas? How often do you use them? Time based (get ahead of issues and pump them full w/ goodies) or based on an analysis/defs of each plant?

Out of my 4 plants, two I am getting a much lower ec reading out of the bottom then what I am feeding in. Should I kick up the nutrients for these two? Does this mean they are not using the nutrients or they are not eating enough?

Droopy plant
First thought over watered in a fabric pot feeding 3ml a day in 1L ph’d water, 24 hours later no improvement. Now I’m pushed to a nitro excess or a feed excess as most leaves are shiney solid green. Still using oldtimer grow as 5 days into flower. Should I flush and move to bloom
