Plants are not looking healthy

Short answer - Stop the damn CALMAG. More crap has been happening lately with calcium overuse ….. it is already in both your tiger bloom and water. Calcium excess skews the uptake of other elements because of antagonism . Even if your PH is in plants range the calcium will knock uptake.
One always affects the other.

Also …. Don’t necessarily take the bottles label or feed schedule as gospel. FF feed charts are too high for most home grows.
Start at half dosage …. Monitor response and adjust.
What do you mean calmag is the answer to everything. I even dip my nuts in it if they are yellowing

What's with all the pH and checking runoff? Runoff is basically worthless as a measurement when growing in soil. I don't know why so many soil growers fiddle fart around with pH. It used to be something only hydro growers worried about. I have 4 outdoor plants in soil and I water them straight from the tap like I've done for decades both indoors and outdoors with soil plants. My tap is well above 7. Soil has buffering agents in it to balance the pH. Chasing runoff measurements in soil is a good way to mess up the soil balance and can lead to one problem after another. Like a dog chasing its tail running around in circles.

Thanks for the information.
