Need ALOT of help

[Outlaw606]

Plants range in age from 34-48 days old. All in 5 gallon grow bags with a a mix of HF/OF soil, PH has always been 6.1- 6.3, Run off PH is around 6.0 - 6.3, temp 73-79, RH 45-50, under a Viparspectra p1500 with a PPFD reading of 500-650. Been giving 5ml of “fish shit” every watering or every other watering. ONLY WATER WHEN SOIL IS DRY AND LIGHT TO PICK UP 3-4 days. I gave the oldest/worst looking plant “MEPHISTO FORUM STOMPER” 1/4 dose of fox farm nutes the last watering and it didn’t help improve anything still looks like death. The other 3 plants are starting to get some weird spots on them now also “never gave nutes besides fish shit”. I live so far in the woods I can’t get Wi-Fi to watch YouTube vids for help my phone is extremely laggy the only thing I depend on is fb groups and everybody has a different opinion of what’s wrong and what to do. Please help I’d be beyond appreciative! Thanks in advance. Pics of plants and nutrients I have available

probs too dry in that tent

i'm only on my 4th grow so i'm a rookie, but never water soil to run off and soil is self buffering so no need to worry about PH.
also OF has enough nutes that there's no need to add anything for 6 or so weeks.

One of the plants is just lacking some magnesium… but the others are looking not so good. Try start with a new environment, less/more light, higher/lower EC etc.

they look hungry. do you know what the e.c. of the runoff was.. sounds like you haven't given them much other than fish shit. don't water to runoff you're rinsing the nutes out of the soil. unless your checking for a salt buildup, but from the info you've given I doubt that. mix up a balanced nute solution of all 3 of the ff nutrients according to the ff feed schedule for their age at 1/2 strength and give them a good feed at 6.4 ph. after that feed 1/2 strength and run a water, water feed cycle. they're starving. ffof has enough nutrients for 4 or 5 weeks. when mixed with hf that time is reduced to 2 or 3.. 5o% rh is good for flowering. the damaged leaves won't be repaired but watch for new growth.

Wow...that's a lot of nutrients in that last pic....hope your not using it all.....Might want to post in the infirmary for a more targeted response. We got experienced peeps that frequent that thread. Just fill out the form info along with the pics.
Since you stated your way off in the woods and only mentioned pH of the water/nute solution I have to ask......where does your water come from?....city water, well water etc......if out of a well ( like mine ) what is the aquifer like ( mine is limestone which added WAY too much calcium in my first grow ) so might want to look into that....

Salt build up no doubt.

I wouldn’t be adding worm castings either with using synthetic nutrients (if u are).

Ok I grow in only fox farm and use ff nutes as well.

For one your soil has enough ferts from the bag to last a month. Happy frog and ocean forest combined is what I use with excellent results. My mix is 3 parts happy 1 part ocean.

Did not feed my auto but 1 time during its veg, that was about a month in. Same with photos about 1 month in.

One huge issue I see is adding worm castings to soil that already had fresh worm castings. Dont do that, worm castings is about as organic super food as you can get without making your own fermented tea.

If you are in fox farm soil follow fox farm directions. Its literally made for this.

No matter what soil you start with from fox farm besides coco, you do not need feed for 2 weeks to 6 weeks in.

Above is the feeding schedule. It may be confusing but if your soil is fresh, starting at a month in and reapeating week 3 and 4 till I switch is what I do on photos. For an auto I water for the first month and I will feed veg nutes only if sexing just started within a week of the 1 month mark and I always do a 3/4 dose.

I only feed in veg 1 time per week on photos too full feeds according to their schedule. Autos I feed 1 flowing feed a week starting at week 5 on the schedule, after about the first 6 weeks from breaking ground. Should be enough plain waterings in a week or 2 to wash out any excess nutes from veg feeding.

Everything else you explained sounds right on. Just remember with autos sometimes less is a little more.

Also those yellow spots you see is probably magnesium deficiency from lock out. Im guessing its from having too much phosphorus in your soil.

This is mulders chart and shows chemical interaction and antagonism between the most important nutes

Interaction means those nutes help uptake eachother antagonism is when there is too much of one the following the dotted line will show you which nutrient will get locked out when theres excess.

Also if your using any organic nutes make sure you replenish you myco supply if you dont used powdered myco. Root drench snd microbe brew from fox farm are fed on alternating weeks throughout a grow to make sure myco content is there for their organic nutrients. Which big bloom is.


This is my current grow doing exactly what I said. Also dont water your plants till the pot is less than 1/3 its saturated weight. I stop watering when it just begins to drip out the bottom. You'll have a bit of runoff, but it will be 1-3%.

Auto is on the back right and doing phenomenally

One more thing is dont worry about runoff ph from soil. Its not as important as youd think. Runoff measuring is more for hydro growers in coco or another high draining hydro substrate. You really in all honestly should be trying to have as little run off while saturating every sq inch of medium.

If you feel the need to your water should come out equal or slightly more acidic in the 5.8-6.2 range and your input in spoil should be 6.3-6.5 during veg and 6.0-6.3 during flower. Some say it should actually be more alkaline like 6.5-7.0 during flower but my info is coming straight from the growers handbook


For me 1 gallon to 1.25 gallons is enough to saturate a 5 gallon, depending on how dry the pot was before watering. And always water slowly it takes me 5-10 min per pot to water

Be careful with fish ferts as they are super high in nitrogen and that will effect flowering
