Thx for compliment but can I achieve similar results with 3 gal pots? I cloned 5 plants from them and culled three. While they were in closet waiting for their place in the tent I had some leaf issues with 2 of the clones. I started them in Dixie cups, transferred them to 32oz plastic pots before I finally put them in 7 gal fabric pots. I’m pretty sure I left them in the one quart pots too long before I put them in the 7 gal pots and this was the man contributing factor for the leaf problem. I threw the worst of the two out. I checked the runoff pH and ppm of the second one with the leaf discoloration and pH was 5.4 and ppm was 2280. I flushed it with 10 gal of r/o water with 1/4 strength nutrients one gal at a time. I stopped when runoff pH reached 6.1 and ppm dropped to around 800. Last flush was with a gal of full nutrients (10cc “FF Grow Big and 5cc
CalMag Plus). My r/o water is 6.7 out of tap! She looks great and didn’t even droop after flush!
However, I realize that having to flush a plant is a shock for any plant not to mention a hassle. Would it behoove me to use 3 gal fabric pots? I’m thinking that waiting too long while they sat in 32oz plastic pots caused the roots to ball up and created a toxic zone around roots which led to water sitting in soil too long even though I’ve been careful not too overwater. I’m learning but knowing a little can sometimes be dangerous. Plus
FFOF soil is expensive and if I can achieve same results with 3/7th the amount of soil....
