Hello again. I have a plant that seems deficient from lockout. I think from N toxicity and ph. I don't quite understand PPM.

I tested the runoff and had a ppm of 1200 and a ph 5.8. I flushed her with 2.5 gallons of water around 6.8 ph. After flushing, her runoff is now lik 550 with a 6.0 ph.

This is an organic grow. 5 gallon pot. It's an auto around 3 weeks into flower.

So I'm not sure if she's good where she is at, or if it's too low. I'm afraid after flushing there's not much left in soil.

Should I use fox farm tiger bloom to get the nutes in quickly? I assume going organic will take too long to become available.

My other plant had runoff of 2700 ppm. I flushed her as well and she's now at 1500 ppm and ph of 6.0.

The numbers seem all out of wack. I'm not exactly sure what to give her now.

Don't give them anything and when you do, (a week from now) just half of what's recommended. Autos don't need much to flourish. And please get the "organic" out of your mind, your not growing organic, your bottle feeding.

Thanks. I will wait a week before feeding.

I was growing organic using Dr. Earth and worm casings but from here on out I'm just gonna finish with bottle nutes I guess.

I tried making a decent organic soil. I think next time I'm gonna go with purple cow or buildasoil.

Hard to say without seeing the plant. Organic nutrients are slower, but that can be helpful. Water-in organic fertilizers don't take long.

It's important to understand the differences between synthetic and organic nutrients. I tried synthetics before I knew the difference. I've since been a much happier grower with much happier plants since I went organic.

My initial hope was to create a soil I just needed to water.

Then all nutrients would need to be in the soil from the start. I think that would be difficult to do, but perhaps possible. That has never been my goal, but I've come close using organic nutrients and fostering healthy mycorrhizae. I've always added something, though. Some nutrient adjustments are unavoidable, I believe. Some nutrients seem to work well when watered into the soil. Timing can matter, too.

Your first post told me you were mixing growing methods. There are major differences between using organic versus synthetic nutrients.

It looks like manganese deficiency. Here's a picture from dutch-passion.com. According to the site, "It’s unusual to see genuine cases of Manganese deficiency. Often it is related to excess Iron or high pH."

So the flushes are done, now about the nutrients. Unfortunately fox farms is not available in my country but most organic liquids have some chemical to make them available sooner for your plants. In my case, Iguana Juice has phosphoric acid so the fish hydrosolate can be absorved way quicker by the plants, but yes still microorganisms play a big role. Just rebuffer your soil with the dosage you usually give them or slightly more and reintroduce microorganisms because after flushing Im not sure you will have a healthy enough population to colonize all of the pot again quickly.
