That is a really high feed rate, what scale on your ppm meter are you using? On a 500 scale I never feed much over 800-850ppm. On 700 scale that equates to about 1100 or so i believe. and that is a feed feed water. You could just be locking out calcium and potassium and other things by overfeeding. Are you testing runoff ppm?
Nice looking setup btw!
Just be careful not to kill them with kindness. Looks like you've really done your homework on setting up an optimal environment there, so serious kudos for that.
With nutrients, you cant really force more into the plant than it will use. And if you dont test runoff you dont know what its using. For watering you should really let the plants get good and dry, but when you water, water until you get 10-20% runoff optimally. This will give you both something to test, and it will help to leach excess salts and help prevent ferts from building up.
Yeah I really tried to get the room dialed in, im concerned about the run off though. In my previous grow I got run off everytime but the plants would show signs of over watering when I did and I know my soil has quite good drainage as pro mix alone is good soil and I added perilite to improve it. Where can I find the happy medium between run off and not overwatering?
Overwatering is really about watering too often, before the plants need it. Not about too much at one time. You cant oversaturate promix, it has a surfactant in it and it drains very well so it wont swamp the roots from one feeding. Where you get problems is from watering/feeding when it's actually still got moisture in the soil and isnt ready for another feeding yet.
You should only need to water once every 4-5 days. The pot should feel light when you pick it up. At that point, you can water to 50% runoff without causing issues if the EC and ph are dialed. thorough wet/dry cycles keep them happy. But you have to be patient and not get too excited about the next feeding time lol. Only give them what they need, when they need it.
Nice setup! Dirtbags already given better advice than I would lol. Welcome to the farm. I used Future products when I started. Not bad. Not great

Hey every a little new to both this site and posting on forums, however I figured it would be good to get involved in the community to both learn and share so we can all excel.
Today I need to learn, I have a problem with my plants that I do not wish to see get any worse. I am into flower nearing the end of week 3 and I noticed some rusty spots on some of my leaves. As well I had some leaves on just 1 plant Canoe and curl a bit on top but the rest of that plant stayed healthy.
Conditions and Info:
Day temp: 80-82F @ cannopy 79-80f ambient
Night temp:68-70F
Medium: Soil ( Pro mix HP ), 10gallon pots
Feed schedule : I alternate food then clean water, ppms have gone from about 1000ppm to 1200ppm in weeks 1 and 2, 1400 in week 3, and 1600 in week 4,
PH 6-6.3
C02: 1000ppm week 1 and 2, 1200 in week 3, 1500 week 4, fresh air through out the night C02 400-475ppm with 3 air exchanges during the day to freshen the room up
Lighting: 6x600w MH Week 1-2, 6 x 600w HPS week 3 - 6 about a foot and a half away from canopy
Nutirents and Feeding: I am using the Future Harvests ( Holland Secret ) soil feeding schedule found here
https://futureharvest.com/pages/downloads
substituting their B supplement with Advanced nutes B as well as the bud candy and carbo load, I also added rhino skin and grozyme
If you need anymore info to help me out let me know.

beautiful garden. Mean green foliage
Ok I will let them dry out a bit then and get a good flush in to test the run off after. So far so good on that 1600ppm feed thoughthey all seem to be happy except for two but those seeds have been giving me problems the whole time ill definitely be tossing their clones out.
I was saying what a beautiful green garden you have. Sorry for my post in the wrong place, but again what a very green gardenLol egirl I think you replied at to many comments I can find what you were trying to say.
