Ppm in runoff higher than feeding

Faegrowsstarted grow question 5y ago

The run off ppm is around 500 and when I watered it it was around 200 ppm. Ph levels are fine. Does this mean it’s not getting the nutrients it needs? How can I solve this?

Your getting run off and your ph is in range and you have a slight increase in your runoff ppm. I wouldn't worry to much about a 300ppm increase. If your plants look healthy your doing the right thing,

Nute lock or nute deficiancy?had some yellow leaves start to pop up on one of the girls. Looks like a nute lock that we will address with a PH water flush and then slowly wrk them back up onto the feeding schedule. Didn't check my Ph and my guess is Ph went too high in the soil.. Thoughts from my gurus?😇

General feedback Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, to me the plant looks healthy, however it is a bit small considering it’s age, right? I’m thinking it may be because of the cheap ‘300W’ light I was using at the beginning of the grow. What do you guys think? (Video end of week 6)

Small brown spots on leaves This plant is now 6 weeks into flower in a 5gal dwc bucket and after changing the water yesterday these spots started showing up this afternoon but only on a handful of leaves. Am I looking at a deficiency and if so what would be a good remedy or additive?

Airy buds or just genetics?How does my bud development seem to you? Trichomes aplenty but I feel the leaf to callyx ratio is pretty poor? Perhaps due to something I've done/not done, or simply a predisposition of its genetics? Trichomes still 90% clear. Likely to fatten up in next few weeks as trichs turn?

Nutrient problems I cant identify confidently as I am a noob Hmmm, I've got some nutrient issues by the looks. Is that dark splotch on the leaf indicating phosphorus deficiency? My pH is OK. Looks like a few things are going wrong. Thanks!!

Unsure about waste of time without any nutrients I keep seeing people say I NEED nutrients but I can’t get any. Is it not worth it without ANY nutrients? I can’t afford anything, not even calmag stuff. I’m thinking anything under 10grams, I’m just not going to bother let me know what you think.

Why is this deficiency or toxicity spreading so fast!?Had a light case of what was believed to be calcium deficiency. Ph, EC and ppm all seemed normal for run off and I've halved my nutes but kept a higher dose of CalMag going. Didn't water them last night now it looks even worse, what should I do and will the end product be ruined?
