Hh kinda depends on how much your hitting the BK. Not at all, 100 to 200% will probably do it. But, remember your ppm...
I'm sitting now at 150% of the base, 200% DD, 100% AA, 200% HH, Zues 100%... and a couple others that get rotated in and out. Most everything got a bump.
When I start getting a buildup, I'll take a fork just prior to watering, and kinda break the surface up a bit, and then run the slf at 5 ml per gal every feed. Eye on pH, as the slf breaks down the calcium, you may see a drop in the slurry pH.

If it drops should I ignore it or is that time I need to do HH flush?? I am flushing the 2 lil ones cuz ph dropped below 6 (5.7/5.8) so doing that today on them! Big ones the ph was down some but was still over 6 on both! I did get up to 377ppm on 1 but other was under 200 again so mixing their nutes separately! I did start the slf100 on the small ones so crust didn’t start to build up so dropped from 6.2 on both to in the 5’s! Is it gonna keep dropping using it?

Ya I’ve been doing 150% myself! I know u said u only do basically a seedling/ a veg/ and a flower stage but since I am using the actual schedule to familiarize myself wth these nutes am I ok to do early flower nutes for both now! The 1 has been getting it a couple feeds now! This 1 wondering since both get 1/2 gallon so I can mix all together??.....

I mix 3 gallons at a time that gets spread among 9 plants. & I wouldn't remove anything else.

Flush comes above 600, if you flush with too low a ppm, they'll let you know you underfed them...

I guess I shoulda waited cuz 5.7/5.8 I gave em HH cuz my soil started at 6.0 and steadily dropping on me! Def gonna stretch sooner than last cuz last feed gave each little 1 24oz and had good amount of runoff and did 36oz today to have extra runoff since flushing and barely got any runoff! Only 2 days between feed and lil cream caramel had roots growing out bottom of a pot from the drain hole! I guess I shoulda fed lil ones last cuz ph was way low but ppm was only at 180 n CC was only 130 so may be starving now next feed! Glad only every 2 days

You'll want to start picking that ppm up going into flower, and, expect a fair uptick in fluid use... and get the pH on, flower is not the time to be in the low 6s, once in flower, I don't feed under 6.5 unless the slurry comes in high. P is just hitting it's good availability at about 6.6, 6.7. And calcium (the main carrier of the food in the line) doesn't really get into the prime zone till 6.6 up to beyond our pH uses. I've probably already dropped this here, but if not....

No u hadn’t so THANK YOU! So should I be flushing tomorrow since both are so low in the 6’s? Or only if ppm is ok and just up the ph on their feed??

 

[Fermented_Fruitz]

I hadn’t stressed it since u said it picks up in ph using flower regimen?!? And glad u said that about fluids cuz moved up to 1/2 gallon every 2 days but bushy’s roots so big now it’s already totally dry on top few inches of soil and under the fabric pot too so gotta water again tonight!

Hey @Arthur is this lady screaming for increased nutes or is this normal once it’s taking from rest of plant to make flowers??....

 

[Fermented_Fruitz]

I checked @Arthur n my feed yesterday I only did at 6.3/6.4 at most n used slf100 1st time Sat n ph went up to 6.1 (.1 increase) but that was from yesterday’s feed so didn’t know if I need to increase nutes since ppm only went from (journal says was 377ppm yesterday’s feed) so gonna slurry other to see our I mixed up cuz if I wrote em backwards was 190 n feed was 1870 so was the 377 cuz didn’t decrease or increase! Should I feed em lil higher n put the feeds ph at top of scale to pull mediums ph up? Thx for the advice buddy!

 

[Fermented_Fruitz]

Ok regardless of what ppm was what yesterday before feed both are only at 6.1ph n at 240/250ppm after 1880/1870 feeds yesterday! Let me know which way to go with today’s watering cuz already dry!
