ABSOLUTELY FALSE. DISREGARD THAT BS. You not keeping the rhizo in check is ultimately a F U to the plants microbiology. Definitely need to keep the run off in veg around 750-800 and 1100-1200 in flower. Dry amendments are dope, but like I said if your ppms are off this can lock out other nutrients and cause different symptoms. Good thing u have pH meter! The soil tester will test ppm and pH of your soil!
But adjustments to the rhizo takes time = slowed plant growth in my experience. The more consistent the environment and rhizo are the most consistent growth. I’ve noticed keeping my ladies in an consistent environment with minor temp flux at night and every other feed using recharge for the microbes have been killing it. Definitely had the pH issue in which I just got my new meter and over watering (Shout out Aquaman for the help!) but they seem to be doing sooo much better! And they’re loving the new Mars hydro
That’s what I’m saying, I usually use advanced nutrients pH line and wanna more to organic but I don’t wanna over feed

Definitely signs of something up with uptake then! Good to know...what’s your environment temp? Watering should be around 67-69F no warmer than 72F tho. This will help the plants drink and transpire more!
I have to disagree in organic soil its common to see over 2000 ppm with no ill effects. The issue is that you have no way of know what the ppm makeup is. The ppm you listed are good if it makeup is available nutrient content but thats not the case with organics. Now with organically derived nutrients its different but he has a mix of organic amendments and organically derived nutes which are basically inorganic nutrients.
Send me a link to your light! Is it 600 TRUE watts? Or a cheap light? Organics usually don’t need to add more to fix a problem! Just to mediate what’s already there to fix the continuing growth!thats the thing, its my first time with this lumatek zeus pro 600w led and maybe my plants are loving it so much, they might have already used up all the nutrients in the soil. However, i just cant see it though as its only been in the soil for 3 weeks !
Maybe i could add some insect frass with npk 3.2.3. Nothing too strong and has calcium and bits and bobs in it, aswell as chitin.
This is the stuff....

Totally see what you mean. But this is also why I encourage more organic growers to do soil testing. Not too hard just can be intimidating. This will give you the soil make up, and also that blue lab soil pen will help! 2000ppm can be seen you are right! The plant may not be using all 2000ppm tho so the uptake of nutes is really in that 1100- to maybe max 1500ppm if it’s a hungry strain (flower ppms) similar to a coco force feed uptake. Organic derived nutes can definitely have synganic traits as well in terms of how the work in the rhizo
Word okay! So then atleast that’s not another limited factor!no its a genuine light to be fair, it cost me £800 !! So its not one of those cheap chinese ones

Definitely, and I’m terms of what me and @Aqua Man are talking about, you can test your soil if you’re deep into Organics to tell you soil make up in ppm. It’s extensive but worth it. Easiest/cheapest way is to slurry test your soil once a week and keep your ppms consistent without overwatering.
It's a true 600 and good quality light.
We are all always learning! It honestly helps me to help others you know? Aqua and a few other inspire me to keep learning! It always cool bc people can debate and talk things without it being an ego trip! You know how the industry gets! But I would wait tbh. If it’s an issue now doing more to the plant can stress/kill it. If it’s an excess nute build up you should flush before flowering. The veg nutes in flower can create pockets and/or lock out other nutes during flowerbrilliant, thanks to you and aquaman for the help and advice, really appreciated
i’ll probably be back on here when the poor fuckers start dying on me
Do you think if i switch to flower now, it would help eat up excess of nutes or will it make it worse ? Should i hold in veg until i resolve the issue ?
