Is Sucanat similar to Sugar in the Raw? Really what I am asking is Sugar in the raw ok to use? I have been using this, its basically pure sugar cane I believe.
You can also use Blackstrap Molasses.

Yea I believe its similar or the same Sucanat. Sucanat is basically unrefined dehydrated sugar. Here is a description and a list of whats in it. I'm not sure if sugar in the raw has the same micros as Sucanat but I think it does.
A genuine whole sugar with a rich molasses flavor; source of iron, calcium, potassium, B vitamins, and chromium

I was just gonna take a picture of the Sucanat but I already had everything else out so this picture is of everything I'm feeding these ladies this grow. Oh yea and OC+
Sorry I am late to this grow. What is OC+?
Thanks for joinin PopK, Osmocote plus is a time release fertilizer made by Scotts, this is my 3rd grow with it and Ive only used about $17.00 worth
It looks like nute burn to me (too much N).

If it was nute burn wouldn't the burn be distributed throughout the plant? The browning looks like it is limited to a couple of leaves. No?
It looks like a lonely spinster ready to leave.
I'm glad things are getting better. I have the same problem about the pH being consistently too low. I keep top dressing with dolomitic lime and watering with pH 9.5 water and runoff is still around 5.5 - 6 in all the buckets. I'm not really worried though because only 2 of my girls have shown any sort of problems and 1 of them seems to be getting better.
OC+ is designed in such a way that you don't need to add anything else. I myself supplement with a little bit of compost tea and molasses but you really have to do it sparingly and make sure there is always runoff when you water. You'll do just fine.
Some flush pics
You are in the same boat as me - no sink to work with so you gotta work from buckets. How are you pumping the water out of the garbage pail and into the wand (e.g., what kind of pump and size)? I need to figure a better approach to watering and what you have there is what I am thinking of.
The pump is an Eco 264, I think its 264 gallons per hour?it was 20 bucks at the local hydro shop. Really nice to have if watering more than 1 or 2 plants, cuts the watering time down in half. Oh what I wouldn't give for a sink and a drain in the grow room... maybe some day

I am on the same page with low ph runoff even with a high ph flush. I stopped checking the runoff because it was driving me crazy with the numbers. My plants are beautiful and heathly, F--- the runoff figure.
Thanks Hemp nice to know others have experienced similar numbers, I just loved the ladies to much sometimes I cant help it. Do you feed, water, feed? I think thats what I'm going to start doing.
Hey man that was one of my thoughts how often are you flushing? hopefully you have somewhat of a time frame for doing so. Also how far do you have your flowering light place above your plants? Keeping your pH at the correct level is important but the plants will be OK if it fluctuates a bit nutrient lockout is more of a concern so a regimented flushing period would benefit. Just remember these are just weeds but damn good ones.
