I would water it even if 750 after calmag ... check ph tho to match your medium. Mid / later veg ppm can fall from 600 to about 1000 normally.
Will do. Ill report back the runoff ph and ppm after I water this evening.

Just remember... if you know the ppm / ph “going in “ then there will be no need to check runoff. The idea is to match ph of medium .
Everytime you water heavily , you sometimes LEACH the medium. Plant will only take enough it wants , this way you create a wet/dry scenario instead of flooding the container .
Leaching medium is usually done because of overfeeding and buildup of salt.

I phd the water before watering to 6.5 and the ppm was around 400. The first plants run off was 7.5 ph with a ppm of 1200. I kept watering until the ph got to 6.8 and the ppm got down to 600. I repeated the process for all the plants, the ppm run offs varied from each plant from 700-1200. PH of each plants initial run off was consistent mid 7s. Got all the phs down below 7 for all 6. Hopefully ill see some improvement within the next few days.

One . Organic soil should not be watered to run off. It washes mycrobial life out the bottom. It doesn’t look like the soil is too hot.
Two. Organic soil holds lots of water. To me it looks like they have been drowned and then left in too cold of a room and on the floor.
Growing with led requires a rise in ambient temp in your room to promote good growth. Right now your room is too cold. Needs to be at least 80. Your humidity is good but wet roots and wet cool air will make all your leaves droop.
Pick your temps up. Don’t water till your pots are light in weight. Move lots of air around. And they should pick up after a week. Be patient.
As far as watering. I’m growing in 5galon grow bags and water 1 gallon every 3 to 4 days in a room at 80-83 deg. I watered at first to hear the soil start to gurgle and then stop. That’s how I get to know how much water my soil will take. Take it slow.

Serious question if I don’t water till run off how do I check my ppm of my runoff? I’m asking because I do auto flowers and I don’t have an exact feeding schedule. Checking and monitoring ppm is one way I tell if I’m overfeeding.
my temps are cold and I struggle to find a way to raise them safely. Lights out can get down to 65F and lights on only get to 70-71F. 20hrs on 4hrs off. I have two golden rod gun safe dehumidifiers which are just heating rods but they dont raise temps enough. I have a small space heater laying around but I dont know if I trust putting that in the tent for safety reasons while I'm not around. Do others use space heaters or is that a bad idea? Any other tips on how to raise temps without spending a lot of money?

I use a space heater. Small 600w with thermostat so it shuts off. Or look at panel heaters on amazon. Look for low wattage. That will do in the small space. Cheap and easy.
