Runoffs are significantly below inputs-Do I have a problem?
renbudsstarted grow question 6 months ago
Runoff continues to be a mystery. When watering I continue to get significantly less Ph and PPM (4.8 ph and 109 ppm) than my inputs (6.2 ph and 155 ppm) but the plant looks healthy. I have no idea what is going on or if its even a problem. Should I be worried and what can I do?

This is what is meant to happen.
Feed goes in, less comes out.
PH from run-off from feeds etc. You really should look to see what you're seeing.
Its weekly flushes of just water. You will use the pots value of water for a hard flush to flush of salts and that.
I'm not an expert on coco, I've only used it once. But, you shouldn't be seeing large run off in every feed.
Its a weekly process, or a fix if overfed etc
Also you're using way to many nutes.
Big bud: good.
But you don't need sugars, bud enhancers until there is actual bud.
Big bud is a stim used for the 1st 2 weeks in pre fower. Then you start adding the sugars etc..
There are many guides.
She is looking super tight though. Don't stress it too

You do not have to worry, plants are looking great! You can give till more runoff to get a better measure result. But measuring runoff for soil is not the best way. You can best do a slurry test for a better measurementing result when growing in .

plant is healthy. learn a baseline before reacting to something you feel might be wrong.
those magical products that you use at particular times are mostly useless too. It's over-sophistication to make people feel like they are doing something useful. I guaranteed if they had the balls to compare results in a scientific study, AN and the rest would look like retodds and more than willing to exxoit their customers for financial gain.
Besides a healthy plant there really isn't much you can do that genetics does not control 95-99% of outcome.

A drop in pH can be a sign of root rot BUT root rot would cause discoloration and an overall sick-looking plant. I wouldn't put too much emphasis on the run-off value as long as the plant looks healthy and your plant looks absoluty heathy and ideal.

Deficiency?Hey everybody,
I’ve never really dealt with deficiencies in autos as most of my experience is with growing photos outdoors.
Does this look like a magnesium deficiency? These just appeared over night on just two of my larger growing white widow autos.
Please let me know, thanks!

Nutrient Help possibly neededFor my first grow I have kept things fairly simple. I had issues with my soil PH which stopped nutrient uptake but seems to have now resolved that for the most part. Are there any other nutes that are recommended to help bud production or am I ok with what I have now? ThanksWeek 8

Recurring Cal Mag issuesI’m already at the maximum recommended cal mag dose of 1ml/litre (with nutes at 1000ppm or E.C. 2.0) and I’m still facing issues.
It went away for a few days, but it’s now back.
Should increase the cal mag dose and cut back on the macro nutes to maintain 1000ppm?

PPM in week 2, nutrient lock?For plant 1 of my DWC, I had 410 PPM two days ago. My resevoir now is at 440. She is slightly yellow and a tad droopy. Is the rising of PPM by 30 an indication of nutrient lock? If its nute lock, does this require peroxide water to flush? How long do people flush? Thx in advance

Calcium Deficiency Won’t Go Away DWCSo plant #1 is still having some Calcium deficiency issues. I’m using RO water and giving the recommended dose of CaliMagic which is 1tsp(5ml)/gal. I’m in DWC and using LED full spectrum lighting. Why can’t I stop these spots? Should I give more than recommended dose of CaliMagic

Yellow leavesmy little GG2 is starting to lose many leaves (they turn yellow and fall even before drying) while the other is not having any problems (the only difference between the two is the "aggressiveness" used in the LST)
it could be due to the flushing done (but less than 5 days ago) 🤔

Canna flushThank you so much for the information. I have been using Plagron nutrients for a long time and have never had any major problems. OG is my first to be very sensitive. She went to sleep in the vegetation. It's not working now. Can I do a flush with Canna flush? How I use this? ThxWeek 3

General feedbackAny 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)4 years ago

Rusty spots on fan leaves overnight, what is it? ️Last night I used some old but clean looking wire to bring branches in to the main stems.
This morning there's now little orange rusty spots everywhere. Is a soil grow, 6.3 pH used and same run off with Cal Mag every other feed. Taken the wire of at 6am in anger, was it that? 😡

Is this definitely CalMag deficiency? Check diary for video.Before I go to over the top with the CalMag in a stupid attempt to nurse my plants back to health I just want to know for certain what it is.
The leaves are clawing, bronze spots everywhere but the smallest of the 3 doesn't seem to be suffering as much.. what is it?!

The fan was directly on them so have put that down to the floor now.

Is there anything else I should do
