Yeah, that was something I forgot to mention. I think you may need to use a higher EC when hand watering. But when doing multi feed lower EC is best.

yeah im in the verge of setting timers i had been at 1 time per day and its starting to get to the once every 18 hours so that means i need to set the program.
flor+ in a res scares me, that shit funks hard! It is amazing for time of use mixing. I hope it turns out cool, I would love to get that shit in the res. I believe flor+ to have both lots of fulvic and also tria, and some carb. It is pretty good stuff, definitely can lower feeds with it. or keep them the same and just get bigger, all depends what your adding it to.
I don't think it contains Tria... Here's a post I made in the "Triacontanol Products" thread...
...and the response I received...

Hey guys im running 6/9 right now! Could use a bit of help , my Tahoe is 5ft this run going in and is got a deficiency going the edges of the older fan leave's are yellowing with a defiency, Also I have a purp wreck going and it has been a real bitch from day one when I got her she was sickly never raise her leafs and pray. It started doing better with the hydro gaurd and growing putting her leafs up. But second day in to flower she is weeping, I don't think it's the unwanted broad mite as I have checked it high and low with 60x and there is nothing on them. The clawed leafs feel dry and brittle could be getting root bound and am going to check in a minute. My run off ppm isnt high I mae sure and flushed with 1/4strength nutes before starting into flower. Here is the Tahoe first five pic's there are two that show the defiency. I will have to load a few more. Sorry for the intrusion I been reading your thread and finshed heads so I figured I would post what Im doing. The Tahoe when finished properly is some tasty smoke. Im thinking Cal Mag but am still learning.

'They' say extra calmag isn't needed with 6/9, I say it is. Maybe everything doesn't need it, but I found a need for it running Lucas in dirt - and now in coco. That's after pretreating my coco with a calmag soak.
Now I run 1 ml calimagic per gallon and see no deficiencies. To give yours a quick boost, add 2 mls for your next 2 feedings then drop to 1 ml/gal.

Ya there's a defiency pic's are bad. It isn't very bad.... I think your right on the claw with the Purp Wreck but I dont know how. I just flushed with 1/4strenght nutes and brought the ppm down to 300 or so. Im wondering if it might be heat stress, she has alway's been sensitive to change. I lowered her about 6 inches fo see if it helps also doing some foliar with a pinch of epsom salt. I had the PW going strong and then I cloned her and was 100% on both clones
But when I put her in flower room from cfl''s she didnt like it.

Believe it or not, I been running 6/9 but splitting it in third's or I can make three gallons with the gallon of 6/9. and have been feeding this way all threw veg and my plants are fine with it. With just a bit of runoff in my pot tray's. Then I went to 3/4.5 for a week or so then to 6/9 right when I went into flower.
First off, you haven't told us ur EC or PH.
2nd, You are just using the Micro and Bloom bottles?
Please list your entire nutrient regime and your Daily PH/EC.
If you don't check ur ph or EC everyday. Theres ur problem.
Until u create a nutrient mix that is consistent and proven, I would not be cutting the food so much.
I mix 3 gallons worth of 6/9 into 5 gallons R/O water, but all my additives are customized also.
Also I use Calimagic, every Feed. At the 1ml per Liter like the directions say.
Also important as all hell.
Wuts ur medium.
Really looks overwatered. And the yellowing resembles Nutrient burn and Damage.

6/9 watered down to 1.2 is good shouldnt have any problems even in soil. ive done both/ it works.

Nope my plants are watered every other day or when they are light. Learned real fast about too much water in the begining.
I alsso know you cannot flood the shit out of a plant that is in a container that is too big for the plant.
You hit it right on the button with the nute's. i dont buy into all the bullshit the shops are selling.

What the hell do I need 8 gallons for I make one gallon of 6/9 and cut it 3 times and it works great for taking care of mother's and small clones first drink. Been running it with no problem till the PW and it has nbeen sickly from when I saved it from a friends where irt was rolled up in plastic laying on the floor dying. I think Ive done pretty good so far bringing itback from the dead!!

Are you fuckn serious!!! Your in the Coco thread !!!!

so i just looked at your pics. they definately look over watered. until you correct that i would say that it will be hard to correctly diagnose nutrient issues.
but it may be a lil stong from lookng at the burn leaves edges.
6/9 is a really bad way of saying 2/3. 2 part micro to 3 parts bloom. regardless of strength.
if you water every day multiple times it should be watered down to 1.2 -1.3 ime.
you can feed higher depending on your situation.
your plants from your pics look they shouldnt be in a pot bigger than 2 gallons. maybe three, but two would be planty five would be detrimental and casuse issues like what you are experiencing.
are you in coco and what sze pots how often you water. do you water til runoff?

i think i used something closer to 4/6 or 5/7.5 which is the same as 6/9 watered down.

Looks like k deficiency to me ...
Do you calibrate your ph meter often? Is your calibration solution fresh ?
Im leaning toward ph being off slightly..
If you have ran that cut before like you say, you would know if it likes more k than 6/9 provides, and would have seen this issue previously..
What are your temps?
Any bug issues?

People say they can run 6/9 all the way through I would like to see it. Im down a round where you are @360ppm or so. Like I said I was mixing a gallon of 6/9 and then splitting it three time's and I have 3 gallons. I been running it for over 4 months without trouble. The plant in the corner is been sickly looking since I first got it. The plants are 5 fooot tall and they are NOTHING BUT ROOT it probbly looks droopy and heavy because I just sprayed them a bit ago. MY PLANTS WERE POTTED CORRECTLY. from solo cup to 3/4 gal to 2gal and NOW THREE NOthING BUT ROOT ROOT PORN I showed my friend the other day and he was blown away!! compared to his dirt crap where you could lift the pot and the plant tear out . Matter of fact you can pic my mothers up by the stem in 3 gallon and walk away with it!!!

I took care of the spidermite's. The leaf's have a hue of brownish blue I was thinking it was Potasium like you said doesnt the green bottle we throw to the side have the potash. The owner of the Hydro store just shook his head when I told him I was running 6/9 and went on to say its not a complete formula. And I would be better off running there setup
