I’ve been watering every 3 days pretty much. Putting a litre of ph’d tap water with biobizz nutes in to the 10 litre airpot but never get any run off. Checking he ph after the nutes added and usually about 6.5. I’ve been waiting until the soil is dry before watering as that’s what I’d read on here. Using a moisture meter and waiting until it’s saying basically dry. Just bought cal/mag yesterday so used some as a foliage spray while waiting for the soil to dry out again. Tips of he bottom leafs that first turned yellow/brown have now broken off.

Moved the light to 24, only problem is that’s as high as my tent will allow it to go so hopefully not a huge plant anyway
Just used my ph meter to check the soil and it’s saying 5.8. Could this be the issue?? I know that sounds too low going by most guides I’ve read but can’t see how it’s dropped to that
Are you using a soil ph meter or testing your run off?

Get used to lifting pots with thumb and index finger to tell you when to water. Once you get used to feeling the difference, you will be golden.
How much and how often do you reckon I should water for a 10 litre pot?

are you feeding at recommended dosage? BB is mild stuff, and if you diluted this all may be a simple lack-of defc.,... It looks like a Mg issue... are you using the whole line-up, or whatever their micronutrient supplement is? Alga-Mic or something like that...? Point is to make sure you're getting the full coverage of nutes beyond N-P-K.....As for watering, don't let it get that kind of dry, low moisture screws up pH, hurts the roots, stalls out the activity of the soil microbes which you need in good shape using organic nutes like this,... mild cycling is OK, but I don't recommend any kind of dry....
That pH meter, is it made for soil testing specifically? It looks like a regular liquid only type meter,... they are delicate instruments, easily losing calibration and accuracy if not stored right, and kept clean, never let dry,... If it's been abused, it's need calibrating to check it's functions out! ....7.0 test solution,...
That said, it's possible the soil went out of pH range,... best tool for this is a soil pH probe; Accurate 8 is a good unit, much less $$ than the other bulb electrode type "pro" units,....
get the info, and we'll try to decide if that pH reading is to be trusted, this will dictate what's best to do next,.....
I use heaven, bloom, grow, topmax, and root juice was used first couple of weeks, all used at the stated measurements on their dosage card. I just bought a calmag called calnesium which has nitrogen and iron also and will be adding that for the next feed. To be totally honest I’m not sure if it’s meant for soil. I test the nute solution before feeding and always make sure it’s beyween 6-6.5. Will have to maybe get one of these probes. Should I be watering until there is run off? It’s so confusing some think I’m over and other think I’m underwatering. There is a ph option on my moisture tester probe but never seems to move from 7.5-8ish
Sorry it’s my first grow and trying to learn as I go. Done a lot of research but never knew feeding would be so complex. I literally have no idea when to be feeding now and how much.
