I've never grown in soil or soilless mix before, my only experience is with dwc and aeroponics (10 years ago) so back into it heard soil was easier, less feeding, less up-keep. Boy was I wrong! It seems soil or soilless mix is more complex up until an hour ago I thought I had soil but now I know I have sphagnum peat moss, perlite & dolomite lime. I was watering every 4 days 2 litres of water bc I was scared to over water and didn't know I was supposed to water until I have run off. Silly me. Now I think I might have a salt build up and I am concerned because all the new growth is clearly yellowish/lime-greenish plus it's very very thin and seems kind of curled back at the tips So now I have flushed 2 of the 4 plants that are of concern and they seem to be doing better than before, when I finally got runoff for the first time it was very acidic but I was able to get it up to 6.2-6.5 ( I'm buying more RO water tomorrow and will finish off the job for the two other plants all the way up to 6.5-7.0) then next watering I will flush the first two again and get the ph the rest of the way up. In the mean time can someone please fill me in on how they look. I remember when I grew in hyrdo my plants looked healthier and fuller (mind you I never defoliated back them so that could be a thing) but these just don't look up to where I want them. All suggestions are appreciated and welcome. Temp is steady at 72-77°F during the day and no lower than 62.5°F during the night, rh fluctuates between 30-49% generaly (sometimes a bit lower) I have a 6 inch fan pulling air out of my 5x5 and allowing air from the room my tent is in to passively enter through the vents on the bottom two sides of the tent.
They are under a HLG 600 v2 rspec, 25 inches from canopy was feeding advanced nuits ph perfect but think I was grossly under feeding. To achieve runoff I had to water 4 gallons on one and 6 on the other, to get ph up I had to give each and addition 3-4 gallons. Again any suggestions, recommendations or comments are welcome and appreciated! Please help!
