So 1 gallon of soil, You need to use 6 gallons of Plain water to flush that plant. Now when I say flush You take 1 gallon of water, pour it in, wait till it goes thru, then keep doing that till gallon 6. take your run off from the first gallon and get a reading with those PH DROPS!!! Then at galllon 6 do the same to see if the Ph went up a little. Then you wait 3-4 days for it to completely dry!!! Then you can hit it with a 1/4 dose amount of nutes. Then we can go from there. Plant looks Very light In color. Needs NItrogen and you have a calcium Deficency in some parts. But overall the plant looks good and if you listen we can get it better.

I only have probably 3 litres of soil which is under a gallon..gallon=4.5 litres...
So I will flush later when the lights are on with the rest ...I do have B-52 vitamins too...
The bud "bible" shows pics like mine..potassium is high plus low perlite in my soil does'nt help..
Thanks

Hey Roortokeage..Believe me when I tell you, its very, very, very, dry..I can almost touch the bottom of the planter..save destroying roots..
It only takes 3 days tops to completely dry out. I watered it last Saturday so its dry as a bone..
I realize I can use the drops to test the runoff, the only problem I have is every sample I took (or take) has soil in when I shake this tiny little vial I have..UGH...My new Hanna should be here by next week..I hope..
Thanks Paranoid one! Its nice to have you back bro..Hows it going with you? Hope you have a great Christmas and everyone else for that matter

take a cup, bowl and a coffee filter. take a cup full of the runoff and pour it into the bowl using the filter to stop bits of soil from escaping into the cup.... then test it, simple as abc...

Are you ok??? Why would your run off have soil in it?? ITS EXTRA WATER!!! So there should be NO SOIL in RUn off..... Maybe your not listening and doing as we ask. Run off is water you have fed the plant and the soil does not catch it, it comes out the bottom of the plant and will keep coming until the plant says thats enough.... SO YOU CAN GIVE US A PH READING. YOU JUST DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!

Now Can I get pics of the soil, plant and Babies BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING!!! That way I can tell you which way to head. Thanks

Are you having fun putting me down or what..you act like I am some brainless idiot..cmon now..
To tell you the truth, the plant was doing better before I started all this crap..
The ph is 6.5 from the runoff...and yes there is a little bit of soil(a LITTLE bit) in the runoff..have you ever seen how water can erode river banks? Yes some soil can come out of the runoff....
Its actually hurting the plant flushing it so much..I have flushed it twice and thats it..no more...
when it dries, I will feed it like it wants..

No1 is putting you down. You are just not listening to what we are telling you. And you keep doing your own thing. Do you want good bud or you want to fuck it up more. Your all over the place with this PH Shit. First its you cant test it, then its 5.5. now its 6.5. Bro its you, I can go back to every post you made and show you what you are doing.

Now if you want to get that plant back on track and not look like this

The water was 5.5 and the soil is NOW 6.5. I never said anything different.. Sure I might have made a mistake on the strength of the bloom ferts I first put in but I have followed everything you said to do..You keep on telling me to flush and I have..twice now and the runoff(with soil in it) is 6.5..the plant needs some sort of nutrients when the soil drys..in 3 days like it always does..
If you read how you talk to me, maybe you could understand what I mean..Every post you are telling me I din't know anything..Did you get it perfect your first time?
I understand you want to help, and I am thankful for that, but condeming me for every mistake isn't how to help..
I will post pics tonight in between wrapping presents and dinner...its lights out for her now anyways..what I can tell you is its more yellow now after all these flushes...
There is maybe 3 litres of soil and its had 5 times that amount in flushes in the last week..
Potassium was the problem long ago.. the soil was void of pretty well any perlite so I can't do much for that except get the right soil next time..
I have had quite a few members say that she looks okay but that was before I flushed it twice..now she looks sad and hungry..
Thank you very much for your help bro..appreciate it alot..

Not much. Having a problem with wiring 2 fans to an adapter with the parralel method. I must be an idiot. :wallbash:

Other than that, everything is good.

Looking for ocean forest soil in my area. Or anything that is not miricle grow. ( want to avoid soil problem after seeing your struggle)
Take care.

tie together both positives(then have 2 long wires extending from the postive and the negative) from the fans and both negatives too, then use those 2 wires to hook up to your adapter
So what you want is 2 wires coming from the fans, 1 postive and 1 negative

The plant has been LACKING magnesium, potassium, copper etc. from all this flushing just made it worse... thats why it wasn't looking right..
You have to remember everytime I watered the plant, I submersed the whole planter in water till the soil stopped bubbling.. this is budgreenes method and works well...I have watered it this way since I started and it worked wonderful, its when bloom started and there wasn't enough nitrogen, not lack of it, there was probably minute nutrients left in the Miracle grow but being an autoflower, I didn't do things right meaning feeding enough nutes,
this being said, when it dries out again, the ph is and was 6.5, I can feed it much needed nutes slowly of course but there is only 2 weeks left of bloom before flushing(hate that word right now) so hopefully there will be some sort oy yeild.
I have lots more easyryder so I will have more experience next time anyways

Well we can hit with small dose of Bloom nutes. Also what bloom nutes are you using? It should have Nitrogen inside it. Also the Flush is not what is killing your plant. It is all the Nutes that are left inside the soil that turned into a salt. And the Water is now Bringing them back up. ALso your PH is off buddy from all this. I can garentee you. That is why you have all these issues. Plain water cannot hurt your plant. It is that MG soil that is killing your plant because there was tooo much nutrients in the soil for it, also it is terrible for MG, if you read elsewhere. So dont say it is the flushinig that is hurting your plant. It is the lack of Keeping your PH at the normal state.

If you get us a reading and show some pics of the plant that would be great. If you look at my journal, I show everyday what i do, so I know when it gets water, feed, and what not.

Dont take it personal buddy, I just dont want to get what happend to me to you. Have a good holiday buddy. Dont wory that bud will be happier soon.

By the way do you have SuperThrive?? Or Tiger Bloom? :smokeit::smokeit:
