Salt build up???

[Royalroacho]

Things just took a bad turn quick on my 70 day auto ultimate. Im pretty sure its salt build up as i havent been giving it run off every time, instead giving it a gallon a day in 3 feedings which i saw other people do successfully. The strange thing is that this started right after i flushed it with 2 gal of nutrient solution to which i added 15 ml of prozym. Adding to my confusion, im experimenting with aerating the medium, i have 2 rigid airlines in the bottom running the length of the pot which i capped and drilled a ton of little holes in, putting out 5 ltr per hour. It was going well til i flushed it. I measured the ph with tge Accur8 wizard probe at 3 different levels, its at 5.8-5.9. @Waira what do you think? Water uptake has slowed waaaay down since the flush, it was drinking a gal a day easily before. I was thinking of flushinh it again and transplantinh it into a 10 gal tub so the roots could grow out, and getting rid of the air pump. What should i do? Im kinda freakinh out, i really dont wanna lose this gal...

Could it be that she is just finishing out?

No, its got about another month to go, they can go up to 120 days. Def not close yet. plants wont go into this kind of senescence in hydro unless you flush them for a while. This happened almost overnight, its been under 2 days since i flushed her. I flushed with regular strength nootsolution, it wouldnt have cleaned oit the coco, i think its gotta be lockout

@Waira (sorry for bugging you but i know youll have the answer o venerable phytoracle lol) i found a big 10 gal fabric grocery bag, cut slits in and lined the bottom with a layer of coco mat so it wont spill out. Im mixing up coco to fill it using half strength solution-8ml sensi bloom a+b, 10ml calmag, 1/2 tsp "Extreme blend" humic/fulvic kelp, 2.5 ml earth juice catalyst and 7ml rhizotonic. Im also adding a shit ton of mycos/bacteria, and 3 ml humboldt honey in 2 gal of ro water ph at 5.8. And perlite. Im planning on flushing the pot its in with half strength nutes (not sure about that) and transplanting. I dont know if this is the best thing to do, im gonna wait and hope to hear from waira or someone

are you letting it get fairly dry between waterings?

It was til i flushed it, something happened. I noticed it was starting to get salt built up, flushed it with 2 gal, that seemed to suffocate it and not wash enoigj salt out. I jjst flushed it with 3 gal and transplanted, its a 15 gal bag

Hope this works. Transplant went smooth, coco at 5.8
