Flushing soil due to tds ppm?
CannaIGrowstarted grow question 4y 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.

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.

Roots white hairinessBenefic or malefic ?
-Root affected look whiter
-We don't use any organic nutrient, but black carpet used in our last soil-coco session.
H2O2 and/or water submersion look to "kill" it, but if it's a benefic "mold", we can let them alive

Why plants are growing differentlySame strain different growth rates and patterns. One plant is shorter and wider while the other plant is taller. Basically the same amount of leaves.
The shorter and wider plant was repotted a week sooner in cycle. Could that be the reason? Or genetics?

Root aphids in flowering?What I initially thought was a nutrient issue I am now convinced is a root aphid issue. Noticed a few small white bugs crawling on top of the soil and I don’t know how to get rid of them without harming my plant. She’s in 5th week of flowering so I don’t think neem is ideal.Other. Bugs

pH/EC/Medium issuesI have turned off CO2 because the amount these tiny seedlings are using is so small that the CO2 in the room remains around 450 nevertheless. I can turn on CO2 as soon as needed however.
I am using pH paper strips to be sure. I bought some different light mix for seedlings.Week 2

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?

Soil heaterGot a soil heater today, wrapped it around the bottom of my fabric pots. Is that the way I’m supposed to do it? There weren’t any instructions on the package & I’m not big on YouTube tutorials. Ive also been playing music for them during day light. Do any of you do this?
