Hi first time grower..thank you for accepting me ..having some problems with my grow.
First I would like to know what PH should I use for TH-1PROMIX..?
I use foxfarm nutes..in veg stage now with foxfarm big bloom/foxfarm grow big together with kasinic and floralicious all nutes at half strength....they are in 5gal buckets and 7gal plastic pots outdoors..they are about 5 weeks old..I recently flushed them with 5.8 ph water alone and after a couple of days the leaves have begun to turn yellow.before I flushed the ppm was around 900 to 1100ppm..i use tap water with a ppm of 114 and the ph is somewhere between 7 to 7.8..I dont use cal mag.. can I get some advice please..thanks in advance..20200526_130603.jpg20200524_150556.jpg20200524_150857.jpg

What are the NPK ratios stated on the bag? I checked the site and it’s kind of hard to decipher all the crap they have listed.

I only ask about the NPK ratios because they will determine whether you need to bottle feed or not. As far as ph, soil should sit between 6.5-7. Runoff in soil really isn’t that important. I’ve never done it in soil, hydro is a different story. The yellowing of the leaves is to be expected because you just washed all of the nutrients out, so the plant is feeding off of it self. Be sure to follow the feed chart that FF provides, with the exclusion of the flushing. Not necessary. I would assume you are watering from the tap since they are outdoor, so calmag isn’t needed. I would recommend some molasses, but sugar will attract bugs ants which you don’t want. Other than that, I’m not really sure what else to suggest.

Fox Farms recommends you ph your water to between 6.3 and 6.8 for soil.

I too would recommend molasses or something with potassium. Yellowing could be a potassium deficiency. The buckets do have drainage, yes??
