Using foxfarm soil that stuff runs a lil bit hot has enough nutes to feed a plant in veg for a few weeks maybe one month at most.Are your nutes organic or synthetic????I have been doing lots of research on using synthetic nutes for soil and lots of ppl are saying its half strength for soil and 3 ONLY WATER in between. But if you use ro water u are gonna want to add the 5mill/10mill of cal mag per gallon (US).Good luck bro not sure if that helps any but good luck with everything.
Dude, I think you're burning it with CalMag. Beyond that, Ocean Forest isn't going to give you your nutrients. It's designed to be used with a fairly heavy nutrient regime. I would stick to FoxFarm's nutrient schedule. Using a different companys shit with FoxFarm seems to always lock it out. And what's the obsession with CalMag? Try a gentle epsom salt with every other watering, the non nutrient one, instead. It's magnesium that causes that type of yellowing. The plant needs it to make chlorophyll the same way you need iron to make hemoglobin. Really. Exact same molecule if you swap those two out of the middle. Your plants need more general nutrients as well. Try out an all FoxFarm run in Smart Pots. You'll see the difference immediately.
I didn't read the thread and responses except for someone stating cal-mag. Those plants don't look burnt to me, they look flushed. Like not nuff nutes. Thats what my mpb's look like on about the 4th or 5th day of a flush.
Have you tried full stregnth nutes?
ok here's my 2 cents worth. Take it or leave it. I cay you are having nute burn due to the calmag. Ocean forset is a hot mix..so my bro that grows in it says. He feeds the fox farm schedule as it's written adding 1tsp calmag/gallon while feeding only. He feeds reg strength..like this feed, feed, water. when he goes water, it's just ph water nothing added. If I read your post corectly I asertain that you clone wait for root then right into flower but no nutes untill flower? well in a sence, as soon as your plant starts a root, ts a mature plant and would handle nutes differently than a seedling. I think as soon as you see root, you need to give them a 1/2 strengh of veg. nute so they get some Nitrogen. Flowering plants nutrients are lower in nitrogen because they don't need as much to flower but tecinally your plants are under fed in nitrogen. I think if you want to try to save the ones you have going, you need to flush your plants with 3 times the amount of water as soil..ie..1 gallon bucket 3 gallons of ph water. I find that 6.5 works great for ph but calmag is locked out at 6.75 so you really have to be careful. Feed on the regular fox farm schedule and add your calmag 1 tsp/gallon only when giving food. You can't fix the damage already done, but look to the new growth to tell you if what you are doing is working. Hope any off this helps
also i was rereading and you need to get tiger bloom if you're going to stay with fox farm. Tiger bloom is your flowering nutes. and if you want good results, you need to feed to schedule. just giving them some grow big when ever is not gonna make for heaalthy plants. if you want good results you gotta put your part in and instead of having to chase a fix for a problem, just feed to schedule.
It does look like mag to me too. Possibly due to pH fluctuations? Sound feasible or is pH something you monitor diligently? Before you flush, put some RO water through it and capture the runoff. I'd like to know what the initial pH and EC/TDS of the runoff- as the plants are likely uptaking it. and you're pH-ing the water on the 'off' weeks when you only use calmag, right?
Take the pot size and run 3-5x the amount of water through it or until the runoff is clear. Don't need to pH the water but don't use chlorinated water either. RO is good. Then measure the pH at the end. This will tell you what pH your soil mixed with RO. I say this because even though you are testing pH in your water, perhaps as your water mixes with the soil it is changing out of range.
i only use micros a couple times during bloom- seems to be very strain specific and one of the major components into 'dialing' a strain in. ie- the ogk's will want the micros much more often then say a purple strain.
