Flushing soil due to tds ppm?
CannaIGrowstarted grow question 2 years ago
I got a TDS meter last week and with my feeding 2 days ago I tested the run off and got a ppm of out of limits for the meter. I think it stops reading around 5000ppm. So now my next question is should I flush the soil. Thinking about using sledgehammer or flora kleen.

As long as your plant looks good and is not showing any signs of burn then feed straight pH water until the runoff gets to a good ppm. Flushing all at once can wash away good microbes in the soil.

First figure out what it stops read out at. Mine is 2000ppm, or 4ec.
Then like other said, give just water.
If you use a flushing agent, it will bind to the molecules and make them unavailable to the plant but will see them react to a TDS pen as its testing how conductive the solution is, not really measuring the parts per million. Can use the flush water in a veg garden if you have it. just dilute it down and spread it aorund, something might as well get use out of it.
Good Luck!

Everything looks healthy no need to flush. No reason to try and make a healthy happy plant unhappy. Just continue the lst on her. Looking good!

Yeah. I got to a point where I hit 8500ppm. Its nutrient lock is all.
All you can do is flush and restart your nutrients. Hard flush with water. Flush everything out. And let it dry out and then restart it. 1-2 base nutrient feeds a week. And follow up with water behind
Good luck.

Tipped, Squashed Plant, Wobbly Trunk - Will it Survive?Plant fell over and squashed against itself.
The base of the trunk is wobbly but still attached deep down.
I've packed soil around the base of the trunk to reinforce.
I'm about 2 weeks from chop and want to know if it's worth harvesting now or if plant/yield will be fine?

Leaves point down/slow growth/ maybe rootbound or root rot? Did I fuck up transplanting too soon?I'm on the 3 week of the grow. The leaves started pointing down and they are growing very slowly. Since I have seen the roots on the bottom of the vase early on I thought the problem was rootbound so I transplanted them. But they are very small. Did I do wrong? Signs of root rot?

Purple stems/AdviceI am a new grower and I noticed the stalks/stems on both of my plants are purple. They are clones on week 5, I use FoxFarms ocean forest soil and General Hydroponics FloraSeries along with CALiMAGic for nutrients. Is there anything else that appears to be wrong as well?

White bumps/lesions on stem base Day 19 veg auto, is it an issue?White spots/lesions growing on stem base but not on leaves or anywhere else?
This started within the last 1-3 days.
The stem "splitting" on the skin was present since it was sagging and bounced back fine.
Worried this is mold/infection from soil. Packed more soil onto the top (!)

Can root damage cause this?The little f*cker has a major damage to his taproot since germination phase. I accidently broke the tip of it. But she was very strong. Fought for her life and won the battle. Now she is 12 days old and shows this. Is this caused by the root damage or from other circumstances?
