^thanks!

I doubt FF forgot the buffers so I'm hoping it was just kind of a hot bag. Hopefully, the plants will show recovery soon. In my research it seems like a lot of people get pretty low runoff from FFOF. A lot of people are also saying runoff pH is a terrible indicator of soil pH! So, I'm gonna take it slow and hope that the plant starts looking healthier. I think the symptoms were from nute-burn. I'd given them the same dose as my larger plants and I don't think they were ready.

Anyway, nothing to do now but wait. I'll keep you all posted as to what happens with them. Shit, I should get a grow log going soon so I don't have all these scattered questions everywhere.
lampost Reviewed by lampost on . Soil runoff @ pH 5.0!? How did this happen so fast? OK, well I found out what the cause of my problems were. I posted about some curling/canoeing leaves and some brown/rust spots I was starting to see on a few plants. I decided to flush and the initial runoff was pH 5.0! I was using distilled water to flush (pH 8.0) and then switched to pH'd tap water (pH 7.1). Anyway, I flushed the 5 gal container with about 4-5 gal. I ran out of time in the light cycle or I would've flushed more. But I only got the pH of the soil runoff up to about 5.4 Rating: 5
