Crazy high runoff PPM on first feeding

[growsince79]

I've not used your brand of nuits, but 400's to 700+ is high for seedlings, I'd go a little steady on the nuits and feed PH 6.0 water, water the whole pot and not just the middle. Is your medium pre-loaded with nuits?

Depends on what kind of nutes they are. Organic and bottles don't measure the same. Cocoloco is over 2000ppm, but seeds and even clones root and grow perfect.

I found this pretty useful.

I actually got my first runoff read that was less than the solution PPM (about 20 in this case) unusual?

Mines been like that all the way through bar the start because of fresh coir..last feed i reduced it to 7-800 runoff was 300 before that it was 1-200 ...canna classic syntheic nutes..

Day 41 uppotting not real crazy over root health, seems like I did a little better first run though I really fucked that one up, thinking about trying Dyna-Zyme maybe.
Run offs read:

LSD #1 pH 5.6 PPM 1120
LSD #2 pH 5.7 PPM 1110
LSD #3 pH 5.6 PPM 1190
LSD #4 pH 5.6 PPM 1050
Gelato #1 pH 5.6 PPM 1090
Gelato #2 pH 5.6 PPM 1080

Watered straight with 10ml of KLN per gal solution pH about 6.8-7
Hoping the pH will normalize over time & these will be back on track.

The one big disadvantage I found with those pots, and I love terracotta, is there is only one drainage hole in the middle of the pot, if this blocks you'll have problems you wont be able to diagnose. The really big ones work better, but the weight of them is unreal when it comes to moving them.

I was expecting REALLY oppressive weight, filled & watered though not a feather its manageable on the plus side.

Perking up a bit today.

Day 61 moving along but my TDS meter is now on the fritz.

Looking good mate..you will have to flip soon going by the tent size..

It's 6' & going by last grow I think I flipped a bit too soon these strains are stout & this time even more so as I've topped multiple times this run, I do want to put the second SF2000 in pretty soon though.

Watered, trimmed & both light panels mounted.

High run off ppm? has organics in his medium

My TDS meter broke, waiting for a replacement, so no read this watering but as of the last read runoff PPMs are within 100 of the solution so no longer an issue, using DynaGro FoliagePro & Pro-TeKt 5/2 ml at this point.

Trimmed up some of the scrub.
