What does run off test shows?

[crowlee]

what do you mean by run off test

Looking at your pictures, I would just recommend a flush with about 3x as much H2O as your medium contains soil, and then come back with an all inclusive fertilizer. It is looking as though you have some sort of toxicity in the soil. To test the run off, you would need to water your medium until the excess water fills the drip tray, then you could run your ph and ppm and all those other tests on that, though I don't believe you will get an accurate idea of the problem.

i only have ph reading probe there not too acurate but shows soil at ph 6.7 - 6.8 after a flushed my soil with just water the run off came out very discoloured at first then gradually cleared up but i havent got the stuff to test ph of that i am feeding it on a mix of bio bizz grow formula and also bio bizz bloom formula shall i stop the grow??? and i also get a bad smell from the room like algai how can i prevent this

Nice lady so far...why quit just before the finish line?

Any roots coming out of the bottom? How long has it been in the same pot? (rootbound?)
Do you let it dry between waterings? If not, mold or algae will likely develop.
Air circulation helps, too. Do you keep a fan on her?

Filling out the Troubleshooting Form would help to come to a more accurate diagnosis.
Run-off water comes-out murky, then as particulate matter settles, clears up.
Soil ph probes are unreliable. Milwaukee makes a good cheap ph pen, but there's others out there. Whether you use a ph pen, or an aquarium ph test kit...at the very least you need to know the ph of your water going in.

YES I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SAME POT FOR AGES WHEN YOU TAKE THE PLANT OUT OF THE POT YOU CAN SEE THE ROOTS THERE IS NOT MUCH ROOM TO GROW ANYMORE WILL THIS AFFECT MY YEILD???? IT DOES NOT GET BONE DRY BETWEEN WATERING AND YES I HAVE A FAN ON IT FROM DAY1 EITHER 18/6 AND 12/12... OH AND IF THIS PESISTS WILL THE PLANT DIE IS IT THAT BAD???????

You need to repot or deal with it. You've got that plant cramped. Which in turn is probably causing you some lockout issues.

I suggest repotting. Cutting off all the browned tips and monitoring it.

What size is that pot? It looks like a 3 gallon pot. I would suggest transplanting into a 5 gallon pot and leave it there until you harvest in about 6-8 more weeks.

looks like root bound...
it might be a pH issue too..

Flush it and repot it to a 5 gallon pot

ok thanks for the advice just one more thing would it be advisable to use pk13/14 along with bio bizz products such as bio grow and bio bloom or shall i stop using the grow?????????
