Quick question if anyone has a moment.... I flushed my girls the other day until the ppm runoff was around 1400 iv only added nutes once since(800ppm) and just checked the runoff and its 367x10 so 3670 the girls look good maybe a little burnt in the edges... Did i not flush properly the first time? At this stage would it be worth flushing again? Any advise welcome :smokebuds:

i think i would have waited a couple days..to see if she gets any worse...she not looking bad at all.. and the soil maybe need some time on "restoration"

did you check your ph? :High 5:

Thanks for jumping in bud, just checked it it was 7.6! Bit on the high side!! I stupidly believed what it said on the side of some shop bought water (ph at source 6.2) just checked it with my meter its 7.4!!! Damn flushed with that instead of bringing it down to 6.2.
What do you recon? Leave it now and when i water make sure the ph is lower like 6 to bring it down?

auch...

damn brother..im no soil expert..i would guess to try get your ph down fast as posible...let me see if i can get one of my buds in here ...hang on and smoke on this meanwhile :smokebuds:

Just PH'd some shop water to ph6 running it through now!! My heart jumped when I got that last reading... Ok down to 6.7 il leave her be for now... same issue with the other PE but she is looking much better will do the same as we all know PH is crucial to nute intake :smokebuds: mmm tasty thanks

Sounds like the ph was your problem. Quick question. Why did you have your ppm as high as 1400? That's pretty high.

To be honest I'm a complete newbie and had read somewhere that you can have it up to 1600 towards the end of bloom. When i first tested the runoff it was 367x10 which is way too high!! Guess iv been MASSIVLY over doing the nutes but the plants seem to be coming along really nicely.. 1400 is where I got to when I ran out of water:Stones slap: and from what I had read and the stage the plant is in i made an uneducated decision that all will be well. i realise i should of brought it down more... The real kick is being lazy and not checking the ph of the water i bought and trusting what was on the bottle! along with giving her too many nutes which I guess built up as the plant couldn't take them on because of the ph?? Bit of a ramble there but is that about right?

The build up of all those salts from feeding that heavy very well could have altered your ph. I think you might be pleasently surprised if you back down the ppm to the 1200 range. Your still on the right track and fixing the ph was a damn smart move brother. Your on it:Cushty:
