All right, so here's the issue: last Monday I noticed a exponential increase in nutrient consumption from my plant at a rate of 10—40 T DS of nutrients being taken up into the plant every day up till Friday when it jumped from 150 TDS to 297 TDS with a pH of around 6.3, afterwords consumption crashed down to only 8 TDS be used and the ph increasing to 7. The next day it was 58 TDS consumed and the ph was adjusted down to 6. On Monday it or consumed 15 TD ass and dropped the pH down to 7.75. My partner noticed what we assume was nutrient burn appearing in the leaf edges and seen as we typically change the water out on Mondays anyway we change the water and cut the nutrients in half, giving it:
3 ml Flora nova grow
.60 super thrive plant solution
A quarter teaspoon plant revolution great white
This gave us a reading of A PH of 5.5 and a TDS of 677. Today however, checking the pH and tedious of the nutrients in the water, I got this:
TDS: 272
Ph: 6.65
The plant has consumed 405 TDS of nutrients in the space of 24 hours after the water change in what appears to be the beginning signs of nutrient burn! What is going on? I'm half expecting the plant to crash back down tomorrow after seeing this huge increase in plant nutrients being taken up into the plant. This strange cycle began last Monday and while I have seen massive growth suddenly appear on the plant, the fact that there's nutrient burn and the fact that Amilee after such a huge intake the plant practically shuts down it's Nutri consumption I'm getting very worried. I feed the plants twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays so to avoid nutrient firm but it seems like it's still occurring, what's more with the plant not having a regular pattern on how much nutrients it needs a day-to-day basis, I can't predict how much nutrients it's going to need between feedings.
What's more, the pH is swinging wildly now, I did add pH down to the new batch of nutrients to bring it down to 5.5 after I saw that the nutrients only lowered the pH of the water, which had a basic pH of seven, down only to 6.5. So at the very least I would've expected the pH of the water to have camped out at 6.5 and not going any higher.
Can anyone give me any idea as to why this is occurring? Is it the genetics of the plant that's causing the sudden change in how the plant is taking up nutrients? The plant has less than two weeks before it enters it's bloom phase, due to the fact that is an auto flour, and I'm starting to get nervous that if I don't figure this out before the bloom occurs that I'm going to have a hell of a time keeping things in check without the potency suffering majorly.
