So was flushing with like a gallon runoff and she wasn't getting better. What I had to do to get her to start growing right again. Is i had to take the net out, take the plant to the bathtub, and run water through it for 3-4 different times about 10 minutes a time. Lots and lots of gallons. Not ideal as that happened in the first two weeks of flower (I know I should have waited to flip) but new growth is coming out nice, and buds are growing. Amazing what a heavy flush can do.

Will have to see if I can get a decent harvest out of this. I doubt it but

Thanks, I hope this thread can help others. After about 3 years I finally figured out my issues. Just harvested another grow and I'm a little light on the nutes at this point as I had some fading starting at the bottom and working it's way up. But thank goodness no stripping on the leaves for the whole grow. No slow growth, and buds actually finished on time. Nutrients I guess is my nemesis.. But too much nutes differently a problem that flushing can resolve.

Yep it's a real learning curve with NPK i have the same issue, i lack giving enough only cause i grow autos in winter and they are so touchy. Photos i can deal with alittle burnt tips but man autos loose their mojo for me if they feel abit of burn. Nice work Pilted come back with another grow.

was re using the soil worth it?

Tell that to the living soil community ha ha.

And I know reusing coco makes it better, but pro mix I don’t know about.

I know it’s a soilless mix, but don’t know how to use it ha ha.

I just use promix because I don't have to PH my soil.

I do have a question on living soil you might be able to answer. When testing the pH of the soil with living soil is the pH of the soil supposed to be in range 5.8-6.2? I added some biochar to promix and I ended up with patches of low pH and patches of high pH in one pot.

I don't think that's the way it's supposed to be, but that plant actually did very well with the soil ph all over the place. So maybe that's normal?

Seems they handled the transplant fairly good. Been heavy handed on the light intensity but it is what it is.

There is no problem with reusing soils. It is only a problem if you use synthetic nutrients and have a salt build up.

Yeah it's the best way I have found to get the plant to put all its energy into its branches at an early age.

More branches more colas. Need to get the branches strong before the flip so why not force the plant to focus on the branches.

I could totally be wrong but I feel the fan leaves at this stage hinder branch development. If the plant can get all the energy needed from the fan leaves it will focus on top of the plant growth. If it looses its ability to convert the light to growth it will focus on the branches to regain that ability. Forcing the plant to adjust and focus on lower growth.

So after the big flush I restarted the feed at 1/2 dose. She drinking much faster need to feed every other day instead of of every third day. I gave 3 feeds and then a only water. At the end of the only water feed I seen some discoloring of the leaves. Which I figured was a lack of nutrients at this point because of the major flush and lower feed amount. Resumed feed at 1/2 dose leaf fade seemed to have stopped. Growth is good she drinking fast, everything seems to be on track.

For the person that so kindly informed me that I did not know what I was talking about about and I have to PH the feed and water in promix. I would like to thank you for your concern and I am still NOT ph'ing my water or feed.

Just an update on the recovery of my horrid growing technic. Don't be scared to make mistakes, only time I ever come on here is when I am messing something up. You never see me when my grows go good.

Need to up pot these girls again to get them ready for flower, but they just not drinking fast enough yet. Roots still need to grow in these pots. Smashing them on way to much light trying to limit the height.

Maybe up pot next week. Idk
