Progressing,help!

First off,hello. I hope anyone around can help.
Strain-blueberry from ILGM(photo)
Medium-OF
Light-600w has
Light schedule- 12/12 as of 1/21/17
Feed- trio,calmag

Okay the girl is a clone (I believe I killed her mom from over feeding)I water every 2-3 days @3liters feed once a week. The ph of solution and run off has always been in the 6.0-7.0 range. The ppm coming out has been confusing..at times comes out showing she is eating and at times comes out over 2000 ppm. Forgot to mention I am on a well that starts out with a ppm of 383 and a ph of 6.7(after nutes added) 6.4..... please!

Thanks in advance!

Hey dude

I followed you over here from @Slater s diary.

I never really liked fox farm products when I was using them. Can you tell us a little bit about your background water?

How long have you been in that pot? When you feed how much feed do you give? I see once a week so is that every two or three waterings?

I think you're correct that it's going to be a pH issue. But, if your background water is too high in dissolved solids and you been in that pot a while you can have quite a bit of lockout going on.

The plant(like I mentioned) is a clone and was placed in OF soil on the 27th of December on 1/6/17 I transplanted her into the pot she is in now(3gl) where she has been. The watering is pretty much every 2-3 days and it's been water,water with nutes,water and so on...should I do water,water,water plus feed or feed every other watering like I have been....I was thinking some type of lock out?? My water is a well water system that isn't the greatest

I tried getting some distilled water but it had a ph of wayyyy below 4.0 and tried getting some RO from store and it came with 18 ppm and a ph of 8.5 to be honest I didn't start ph'ing until 1/31/17 every thing was fine I thing till then when ever I start to ph my water I start having troubles I was told not to ph if growing in soil then I was told you should always ph no matter what medium

I gotta do a bunch of stuff today, but I would stop feeding that plant right now since you repotted her not that long ago. There's plenty of nutrients in that soil for the right now.

I probably had this exact same thing going on in my garden before I figured it out it has something to do with your well water and I'll give you complete details later today when I get back from the errands I have to run.

In the meantime check double check and recheck your pH meter you need to do a two-point calibration either 7 and 4 or 7 + 10. You could do a three-point I suppose but since we work with ph around the 6 range 7 + 4 is the best place to calibrate.

Thanks a million homie...I will stop the feed and will be eagerly awaiting your next post I have the 7.0 and the 4.0 solutions and I (side-by-side) with the ph pen,use the ph drop test

Oh, by the way what is your background ppm? Out of the tsp and do you is a water softener?

 

[D3V!ous_Dankster]

Here is my water system...yes it has a softener
