agree-back the light way off. Flush until the runoff is under 200ppm and the top it off with 400ppm.All the old damage will get worse and die that's normal. You flushed and the go back to feeding 1000ppm? The flush was to fix the overfeeding to begin with. Light is still to close imo because of the plant health.
Have you looked for mites?
Back that light off... not 3" but back it off to like 30" and let then recover... when plants aren't healthy and you keep pounding em with light the only thing you gonna do is make it worse.
I don't think promix sitting around is the problem. I have a bag sitting around over a year that works good. How long does it normally sit in a warehouse before being shipped to a grow store and sits around more?Alright thanks for the feedback guys.
I definitely don't have any expectation for this crop.
My lights in previous cycles were 17" from canopy with no trouble so I didn't think I needed to back them off THAT much, but I'm gonna back them off more today when they turn on.
And I thought 1000 ppm for early flower was ideal so that's why I fed back at that.
My bundles of Promix I used for this cycle were sitting around for maybe 3 months before transplanting these into it and I'm starting to wonder if that has something to do with it.
I've changed nothing in the past year of running this room.
It's crazy how following the exact same recipe in the exact same room with the exact same strain can have such wildly different results.
I checked under a scope, no mites or bugs of any sort. I use azamax as a preventative all through veg.
Ill try flushing harder on the next watering, and maybe giving no feed until the next time they dry out?
I didn't give 3 times my pot size the last flush because I thought it to be overkill since I used drip clean in combination.
I have 5 gallon pots so I put like 3.5 gallons through each and got a ton of runoff.
I'll keep updating regardless of the progress or decline. Hopefully this thread helps someone else out on the future.
Even if it's not the cause of the issue , I'm not stocking up on Promix to sit on any more. I'm buying fresh bags everytime I transplant.
And thanks again everyone , I really appreciate the feedback here.
Agree. If the leaves have more to give- let them give until they have nothing left to give.I'm goin to say don't remove affected leafs untill the problem is solved in my experience if you remove the before you've solved the problem it will move onto other leafs , once the damage stops completely then remove the affected leafs.. hope this makes sense
+1 it’s not the promixI don't think promix sitting around is the problem. I have a bag sitting around over a year that works good. How long does it normally sit in a warehouse before being shipped to a grow store and sits around more?
Have you checked the runoff ph?For sure, thanks for the feedback. So you never add pH up or down to your water?
You let the Promix regulate itself? What is your tap water out of the faucet pH at?
Mine come out about 6.5. after adding nutrients it's usually about 6.3, then I add a some pH down to bring it around 6.08. was doing this for the past year with zero problems until now. That's the only reason I was second guessing this batch of Promix .
i have no idea what’s in my tap water, the ph., etc, i never ph anything. i let the water sit in pails for a couple days that’s about it.For sure, thanks for the feedback. So you never add pH up or down to your water?

Yes my runoff pH when I last flushed then fed for each plant was between 5.8 and 6.0. but when I put a soil pH meter on the pots the top read about 7.5 and the bottom reads about 6.0Have you checked the runoff ph?
Haha ya I was gonna say that's literally the opposite of what I've consistently heard. I work doing chops and trims for guys that have multiple warehouses of rec cannabis here in michigan. They all pH thier water and insist on getting 20% runoff to avoid salt buildup. Yet here I am in the infirmary with sick plants from following those instructions. So hey whatever worksi have no idea what’s in my tap water, the ph., etc, i never ph anything. i let the water sit in pails for a couple days that’s about it.
i try to not get runoff,
just don’t overfeed and try not to overwater.
you don’t want to hear my theories about growing they won’t make sense to ya and i’ll probably get blasted by the farm! haha.,
