Back off a bit. Make it more like 1.8 - 2.0 EC @ desired pH. Get good runoff. See how it goes.

Even 1600. What ppm scale are you using? 1600ppm @700 scale, is still 2.4 EC, I think. That's nothing to scoff at.

That says a lot to be completely honest. You're up over 3.0 EC, that's way high.

Well, what's different about it? What amendments have you used? Have you checked the pH for those ones? I think lime is the last thing you should consider. Really should be the last course of action. Should already be buffered adequately. Though, I'll give you benefit of doubt. I assumed...

No worries. Good luck. Hope we're on the right track.

Yep. That's what I would do.

I reckon you're on the right track there. Might be drying up just a bit much between. Run more waste when you feed until you get your watering system.

Next-time you feed. Feed at 1.0EC until the waste reads the same as your input. See how it goes from there.

Lots of folk here go by their waste for pH. Was giving you benefit of doubt. Just had to ask the question. Have you checked the pH using your soil tester before you water, not after? If it really is acidic, then add dolomite as you say, see how things go. GL.

I wouldn't suggest for someone to rely on waste readings, though have you checked the waste EC once off? Don't start chasing waste numbers and all that. Waste of time. Especially pH. But checking the waste EC may indicate whether you're overfeeding, or not. If it's way high, well... 1.0 EC...

If that's the drainage waste you're measuring, you can expect the waste to be slightly acidic compared to your input, being a peat based mix. How often is it getting watered? Pot size? How much water at a time? How much waste? How well is it draining? Might it be staying a bit soggy or damp...

Outdoors, I think organic is better for the planet. Probably a bit easier to grow too. At least if growing in the ground. Better for the environment. Both in it's carbon footprint and it's use of carbon. Supports more life. There's only so much elemental phosphorus left in the world too. And...

I'd just give 1 good watering next-time it needs it. Then nutrients the following watering.

I think this ^ is way to go @ThatOneDudeWhoNeedsHelp Important to remember it's about balance. Easy to surmise a nitrogen toxicity if neglecting PK. I think it's good to be sensible this stage. I'd start at half recommended EC myself. Get good runoff.

Then, I would suggest you follow the manufacturers recommendations for it's stage of flower next-time you give nutrient. I'd say it's what it is. Important you keep to the recommended ratios of grow - bloom - micro. EC can be less than recommended, but it's important you use the nutrient as...

Cool! I was just wondering. Some people like to feed veg nutes for first couple weeks, then start flower nutes after.

Put it in a paper bag. It's a good trick couple days before jarring. Helps even the moisture out in the buds. Slows drying down a fraction, so it's easier to catch it at just the right time to store long term.

Seems sensible. Are you following the manufacturer's feed chart, for flower?

Nah. Good proper feed once the soil dries, she'll come around, I think. Make sure soil's dry. Get plenty runoff. Avoid the calmag, give proper nutes. Start @ about half recommended to be safe. Increase as required.

You don't. Just carry on. Flushing a plant to achieve whiter ash is nonsense. White ash is achieved through drying/curing properly and adequately. I'm not against plain water the last week or whatever. Nice looking grow! Easily have a few weeks left there. More like a month. And, when it all...
