I wanted to delete that because I didn't have the info yet. *I got the info and edited it.

How many hours after a post can it still be edited? Ty

It wasn't too long ago, a guy I knew was mixing up a batch of "super soil" and he decided it would be a good idea to add some organic, 4-4-4 tomato fertilizer. What he didn't realize was that it was also a soil acidifier (didn't read the small print!) because tomatoes like it. Long story short, he planted his plants in the mix and a few weeks later, everything was turning yellow, leaf necrosis, etc., etc. Did a slurry test and a runoff test....both were in the 4.0 range! "Well, there's yer problem!"

-by the way...that guy was me.
heh heh
OMG! been there, done that although mine was due to being lazy and not calibrating a pH pen.

Thanks also, One time I started a post and didn't finish it right away, then it popped up on another device (as a draft) that was pretty cool.

See that little 3.5" disc icon, that allows you to delete a draft or be sure you save it to come back to. This is pretty nice software compared to our old VBulletin software. I really enjoy it.

Thx, My water is at 230 ppm before nutes. Should I add 230 to 600 for a total of 830 OR just get the final ppm up to 600?
For now just get to 600 total.. Don't want to go up to fast.. Eventually we'll get to 830.. Watch new growth for signs of improvement..

It's been 10 days. Everybody's looking healthier for sure. These pictures are right before watering, watering every two days.

I'm at about 620 ppm including the 230 ppm of water.

I'd like to get rid of the yellowishness all together. We talked about maybe upping the nutes after they acclimated.

The ugliest yellow leaf is one of very few and was on the bottom, I just included it for color contrast.

Go ahead and take it to 750 ppm.. The older yellow leaves won't recover, watch new growth for improvement.. Lookin alot better, give em another week then flip..

They're not going to make it a week. Getting too tall. Going to have to drop them down to floor level and start working on the tops. Bend bend, snip snip.

Next time I'm going to grow quality rather than quantity. This is the first time I tried feminized so I didn't have cull any.

How many for ppm bloom nutes?

I know a lot of growers say that nutes are viable up to 10 years or more is stored properly but I don't feel comfortable using my 7 year old bloom nutes.

I usually do a mix of bloom and grow until stretch is over, then go full bloom nutes, never more than 1000 ppm..
Switch Today.
Looking pretty healthy. I can barely keep up with them.

The problem child front left X is still a bit yellow with a few some spots, more than I would like to see but overall 75% healthy imo, her genetic sister is in the big tub doing about 95% healthy.

Note: I won't hit 100% healthy until I grow for quality instead of quantity. Next time just 2 girls if I can make myself to cull any others.

My nutes are around 720 PPM foliage. I know you said you go half foliage / half bloom nutes to start. Should I shoot for more bloom PPMs?20241215_214938.jpg20241215_214927.jpg20241215_214841.jpg
