Looking nice in there mate, cracking job.. So are you fully organic now or still using water to run off nutes?
I'm using lightmix soil and doing
half the tent full organic with amendments & the other half with bloom nutes,
I always have between 10/15 percent run off everytime.
I know I'm not supposed to when going organic but the pots still let the water run no mater how slow I water, but gona feed less more often to see how it goes
I feed every 2-3 days

@RustyStarbuck72 how often & how much water you feed each feed when going organic..?

Cool, mixing organic with liquid non organic mineral nutes is often counter productive, just try n dial back the watering to stop the goodness getting washed through... I don't even have catch trays on some pots as I rarely let more than a few drops out the bottom... I occasionally bottom feed the ones in catch trays to encourage the roots down to the bottom but mostly top to keep activating the ammendments with each water. Can't wait to see your full grow under the new light in the 5x5 bro :d5: :vibes:

At the start I only mist with seaweed around the seedling.. Then move up to half a litre per pot of the same mix I foliar spray but around the edge of the pot to encourage roots out into the pot ... Then once they are established a litre every 3 days until they start to need more... With minerals your waiting for a dry spell and light pots before water, with organics I don't let them dry out. Moist equals alive microbiologicals which equals happy roots and plant.... The problems arise when trying to mix the 2 disciplines... Minerals kill off the micros, 2 different watering styles don't mix and so on... Both are great ways of growing if you stick with 1 style per plant.... I personally love organic, mainly for taste, terps and strength and because it fits with my time and general way of thinking, but I will always tinker with direct mineral feeding until I find one that works with me but as a separate experiment
 
Hello love it when posty comes got bored of waiting to order my free seeds so got some fastbuds instead

You know it makes sense
 
So what nutes have you got mixed together in that bottle?... Not sure if you've noticed if you mix an A&B formula directly together they react and ball up, which is why they recommend adding them separately to the water so they don't react..
In a similar way, if you mix a high pH solution like silicon after you've added other nutes, the high pH will lock out the things you have already added. I always add silicon products first so that the pH is lowered by your water and mixed in before you add other feeds and suppliments... Your lumps are probably where its sat and some of your nutes have reacted and clotted. :d5: :vibes:
Remo nutrients full range. There are no bits floating at first. Made a 1.5L up today for feeding time and it just looks like dehydrated pee. No bits, says they can be mixed in any order, but I start at the top and work my way down the list.
Cheers
