I have 5 plants going into the 7th week of flowering I'm using fox farms ocean forest soil and flushing every third day with 1tbl of molasses and ph water around 6.5. I recently checked my Runoff and noticed it's around 5.0 will flushing with ph water at 6.5 raise the ph of the soil or should I look into adding dolomite lime. Some of the leaves are getting brown and with little spots of yellow on the leaves and starting to turn a yellow tint on the mother leaves. Help appreciated
Ok I'll just stick with flushing and hope for the best the buds on the plant are looking great some of the leaves not so much. thanks for the input
What do you mean by flushing? Are you just watering with plain water every third day or are you actually pouring water through the soil @ 3 gallons of water for every gallon of soil every third day? If you actually mean you're flushing...completely saturating the soil and flushing out all the nutes every 3 days, that is your problem. Late in flower roots don't like that much saturation... really they don't like it ever.
My mistake I wrote that high haha.. I meant I'm flushing each plant with a gallon of water every day I have 11 gallon pots with about 9 gallons of soil and every third day of flushing I use one 1tbl per gallon of molasses water per plant. The water drains out a good amount am I using to much water to flush?
