What are the NPK numbers from the tomato nutrients you're using? That's universal.

It's general purpose nutes & they are 0-6-4

Yeah that's for flowering. I was told I should get as low as possible on nitrogen for it.No nitrogen at all?
My veg nute ratio is 7-10-6
Low is good but plants always need N especially during stretch. If I were stuck with those nutes, I'd mix them together 1 part veg to 2 parts bloom. Gives you 7-22-10. Try to raise the ppms using that ratio with each watering until you get into the 600 range not counting your water. See how the plants react by looking at the leaves and check for browning at the point. I doubt you'll see any but it's always good to keep track of the leaves. It they look good still at 600ppm I'd up the ratio to 1:3.

Got it, so I will adjust the water when I get home.
I haven't fed the girls yet.
Oh and 2 questions, is there a difference between watering them in the morning vs night?
And I think those extra nutes will bring down the PH more. Is there a home remedy for PH up?
I have baking soda and maybe I can get some general stuff.
I was advised against using fish tank PH up? Or is this okay
Baking soda isn't a good idea as it adds an additional salts to the soil. What's the fish tank pH up made from?

They sell this same stuff at my local store
Shed, didn't SweetSue and Brix use tomato food as a test in brix's garden?.
I think she's using it now in her hempy! There's nothing wrong with it, just have to make sure your feeding them what they need when they need it in the same amounts we do with canna nutes I believe.
Had to find the damn product data sheet for that fish tank pH up! It's sodium carbonate. From what I read it's better than sodium bicarbonate but not ideal. pH Up is "formulated using potassium hydroxide and potassium carbonate." Any way to source that locally?

He could actually try some diluted coffee, and pH that... Coffee gives N as well.
Coffee also contains calcium and magnesium -- both of which are beneficial to plant health.
1/4 brewed coffee and 3/4 water.

You've moved into territory I have no clue about! 
Sry, no intention of offendingYou've moved into territory I have no clue about!
It was just a suggestion, since he has tomato ferts,they are low in N. and coffee has loads...
I wasn't offended at all! I just meant you're in an area of nutrients I have not a single clue aboutSry, no intention of offending

I can try getting my hands on those but I highly doubt it.
So this PH up is not ideal but would it work?
Would there be a long term negative effect from using it?
To help with N & calmag?
I might try that.
But my main concern atm is my water PH
Also I just ordered some local calmag.
I forgot to tell you guys.
P.s. good to hear from ya AG!
I'm trying to sort out a few loose (read my whole life) ends, to put my life back on track.
I have been here, and seen that shed is taking good care of you and I saw no reason to add anything, he has it all covered
If you ordered cal mag, then go with that.
Using coffee and other homemades, is always based on gut feeling and instinct.
I never measure or count.
It is like my cooking.... Eyes measure, nose smells.. I don't taste soil however lol.
