Thanks again for all the clarification and advice, mate. It really means a lot to me. Sorry for the late reply, but unfortunately all those long hours spent flushing eventually caught up with me and, quite literally, resulted in a pressure area on my butt. Thankfully, I caught it...
@golfnrl thanks so much mate.
I flushed BW3 on Monday or two days ago, and this time I got my flushing solution down to an EC of 0.4 with a pH of 5.8 before commencing.
The first runoff appeared after about 2 litres, and the EC was still 3.8 with a pH of 7.4. I continued flushing, but even...
@golfnrl
Awesome feedback as always I'll try that in the next week when shes due for a feed. When you say "Then immediately water it again with a slightly milder nutrient solution, let that drain, check that runoff and you should be good to go."
If she was due for a feed with an EC of 1.3...
@golfnrn Thanks for that information and the nutrition charts relating to pH, that was a great read.
If I'm not mistaken, when flushing, it states:
"You need to remove the buildup. A common way to remove salt buildup is to flush the plant with about 3x as much plain, pH’ed water as normal...
Even though the plants looked amazing last night prior to feeding and GG1 was looking the best I've ever seen her.
Does my EC & pH runoff concern you because they are so high at EC 3.8 and pH 7.3 after multiple attempts?
When I feed next do I continue feeding them the same EC and pH or do I...
@golfred
Plants are all looking amazing, BW2 & GG1 are looking awesome.
I did what you sugested Re: GG1 and after 2L of feed with an EC of 1.3 & pH of 5.8 I had enough runoff which freaked me out EC was as high as my EC would read at 3.8 and pH of 7.3 so I continued watering to 4.5L and got...
@golfnrl
Your information is extremely appreciated, mate. What you’ve written and the way you’ve explained it is all I’ll need to give it a try.
I think my gut feeling was right, I strongly believe I’ve been underwatering them. I just checked them now but didn't open the tent and they all look...
Thanks for that advice.
I have only recieved runnoff once and thats when I flushed my plants with that 5 Litres each as my pH was way off. So every time you feed your plant you obtain runnoff?
I watered last night with 2 litres in my 5 fabric gallon pots and the sides of the bottom of the...
Sorry mate there all the AC Infinity 5 Gallon pots. I game them the 2 litres but no runoff. How often should i be watering these until I get a decent amount of runnoff?
As thats something I've only done once. When I watered them yesterday with the 2 Litres, the pots were damp on the...
@golfnrl
Thanks so much once again.
Mate need advice on these plants as most of them are drooping/wilting. I really thought that flush I did didn't work and my concern is during the first 4 weeks of feeding, while using those useless pH strips I have no idea what pH they were really getting...
@golfnrl
Thanks so much for your in-depth knowledge and for sharing your experience.
You were spot on mate asI was stressing out something chronic. GG1 is looking absolutely mint after yesterday’s first feed in 6 days without water.
I know this is off topic but I also purchased a $30 digital...
I had been using pH test strips that measure in 0.25 increments, but I recently purchased a digital Hanna pH meter. What a disaster! After calibrating the new meter, I realized my pH strip readings were worthless my actual pH was sitting between 3.8 and 4.5
I had to run a complete flush on...
