Maintaining the soil pH
GrowmieDeLaStreetstarted grow question 2 years ago
I give pH'ed water, never more than 800ppm and I still always end up with lockouts. I used to not give water untill runoff but now I do. What to do after testing the runoff? It's currently at 6.0 even after a flush with 7.2. Ask many questions I need to know what I'm doing wrong.

Well 6.0 to 7.0 is the range for soil ph. Don't water past 7.0 mph water. Soil holds your nutes, so you should only be feeding once in a week or 2 if you can get away with it. When you check soils ph and ec from the runoff, you need to check the very first drippings that comes out. Soil grows aren't like coco and such that needs food every feed. 6.0 is ok to be at with soil. 6.5 is best throughout a soil grow. Just plain water until you see all new growth is green and healthy again, before adding nutrients.

Rust spotsMy lower leaves are showing rust spots along the veins. Appears to be a magnesium deficiency but I am feeding cal/mag. I also growing in ocean forest soil. I’m starting to think this is nutrient lockout? I’m feeding a low dose of nutes(250 ppm every few days) soil could be hot?

Can this delay flowering of an auto?What deficiency is this please?
I suspect phosphorus deficiency and as such have reduced the PH from 6.4 back down to 5.8
It is not spreading and appeared spontaniously and at once a few days ago.
Growth has been slow for almost 2 weeks and flowering has refused to initiate.

From day 50 some leaves of the plant started to turn yellow. I had stopped nutrients due to an overfert problem. So, on day 50 I started with the nutrients again, but in lower doses. 2 week left to harvest. What should I do with this nitrogen deficiency? Should I worry?

Should I wash the potting soil mix before sowing?Going ahead with my first grow. Should I wash the potting mix before to remove impurities and dust particles, before I sow the sprouted seeds inside? The potting mix contains Coco Peat, Perlite, Organic Manure, Seaweed, and other beneficial microbes. Advice would be appreciated!Other. General questions

Spots on yellowing leavesBrown spots on dying yellow leaves. This has happened on most of my plants after budding so thinking it may be a soil problem. My guess is boron, manganese or phosphorus as the stems on some plants are red.
It starts low and eventually ends affecting buds too so I chop.
