I would stop nutrients for now and use plain water. Nutrients build up in the soil and then you start to have issues that look like deficiencies but are really toxcities. It's where I've made my biggest mistakes. I have been reading Grow Weed Easy and has some good information there. Less nutrients is best and only add more when you see definite deficiencies. A lot of soil has food in it which can take you right through flower using only a small amount of additional. Just my thoughts. I have been having issues as well, and I flushed... and next time I water (will be plain water again) I will test the run off again and see what's up.

thanks. my worry is i didnt want to water until i get run off for a little bit bc i dont want them to be saturated. they are STILL wet feeling at the bottoms after a week from flush but the leaves feel VERY dry and crispy.
id say by feeling them they are ready for water, but by touching the lower part of grow bag, they are def wet, n heavy.

Thats exactly what I found with the bags.. and they are deeper more than wider which I believe makes them take longer to dry out as well. Mine were dry up top and saturated at the bottom half. Problem is my roots hadn't progressed down to the btoom half of that bag.

i agree with the depth of bags and water holding at the bottom. my roots had progressed down to the bottom bc i poked a few extra holes with my finger an di could feel the roots all over it.
i think for my watering/feeding from here on out, i am going to make sure i dont saturate them an di will water them more frequently. watering them just enough to ensure the water makes it to the bottom of the soil, but not too much where it gets soaked ad sits.
the extra holes also helped a little bit with airflow and drying the lower portion of the bags for me.
should i move on to a different kind of pot? i used the bags bc they fit and work best in my set up. rectangular 2x6x6'(to lights)

I still have some bags and will use them for plants that I can let get bigger. Last year I had one in a 5g bag outside on my deck and it was fine... could have even moved up but it was late in flowering.. roots were coming out the bottom. A lot of people really like them. They are cheap and easy to store when not in use etc. I actually bought some fabric pots to try as well, 2g. They are my favorite so far. If your roots are moving to the bottom and utlizing that soil and space, the issue holding moisture should iron itself out.
Next plants up for flowering...
