They've been in the FF premium mix for 4 days man haha nothing close to their 2-6 week guestimation

Cool, well you've been given a bunch of choices to follow here. The rest is up to you, but let us know how it goes.

There is a mag def but Im sure its cos of PH, either that or that soil is a dud... 

I would suggest watering with a PH of around 6.2 or 6. What PH are you watering with?

He's already doing it at 6, but constantly watering with no nutrients is just flushing stuff away

Wow what?? i thought FF was predominantly soil.

Also ive read plenty others say they use 0 nutrients in the FF premium mix & here im having to feed already

To be rather honest I find FF soil to be weak in the nutrient department, I mainly just use it because its light and fluffy. Also remember depending on your strain it could easily use up the available nutrients.

First watering can either be clean water or for hungrier plants add a single recommended dosage of organic nutrients. The nutrients in the soil should be adequate for approximately 2-6 weeks before additional nutrient applications are required.

 

Direct from their website, notice the "should".

I plan to purchase BioBizz - Grow & Bloom

What is your feeding schedule like in this FF soil?

Don't buy Grow, get the fish mix. Also your chart is for soil, FF is predominantly coco.

I feed with every watering.  Feeding at your current level of 6 is fine, the issue you have is the lack of the nutrients available.

I found some balls last night, so i have 1 male out of the bunch. Which is good news at least.

What nutrients will you be using?

Thanks for this! i do have some calmag on hand to feed, thankfully today is water day. What PH have you been watering at in the FF soil?

 

I'm usually feeding around 5.8-5.9. Feed with calmag, then after this watering start your nutrient feeding at half dose for a few feeds, monitor the plants then increase to full strength. 

Just now, YourStonedBuddy said:

Are you in FF soil too?

I went the same route you did was in FF seedling mix, it started showing those signs then moved to the soil and on the initial feed I helped it along with some calmag.

Currently feeding nothing at all, i just moved her from FF seedling mix to the FF premium classic soil. I doubt i should be having issues with calmag in this soil?

I am currently watering at Ph 6 every 3-4 days, 0 nutrients used

It's calmag  I had the exact problem. Feed calmag and it should bounce back. Also feeding every 3-4 days with no nutrients you're basically just flushing out everything else. Start your feeding cycle with some fishmix.

Calmag deficiency. Also that burnt leaf looks like nutrient burns, tell us about your feed schedule/water ph etc.

  I had the same issue:

Than anyone here?

Obviously a blanket statement so I apologize to you if you do have it.

Well by the looks of it I'm gonna need a distillation flask and a condenser. The flask needs to be at least 500ml, preferably starting from 1L. Just started looking into this now so not sure if that's all I'll need. Shot though. Super useful you are lol  

I've sent off the request when I get feedback I'll let you know, he usually knocks off early on Friday so may only be Monday.

Anyone can do these things safely, as long as you follow proper SOPs and do some reading, you won't necessarily kill yourself. Always just be safe and use some common sense. I'm not lashing out at GK, by no means, rather pointing out the double tune. There are limits, but a L or two of Etoh in your kitchen isn't going to blow your head away.

It was not a double tune, I merely stated its dangerous, and it can lead to death. I have seen first hand what the miss handling of solvents have done to people with far more training than anyone here, proper chemical engineers/chemists back in my day at uni (biochem department) , and yes I offered to source the products for him because he's an adult and I'm sure he will use common sense and as he stated he is aware of the risks. 

Just now, 420SA said:

Well aware of the risks of course. How is this distillation process more dangerous than purging the ethanol into the atmosphere? Keep in mind I wont have any open flames going

Well no open flames obviously mitigates the risks more substantially.

Just now, 420SA said:

Im also checking out experilab. They looked promising at first but stock seems limited. They dont seem to have the right condenser as well

Tell me what you need and ill ask the supplier I use for my lab gear.

No offense, but unless you have lab training or know what you're doing. You could potentially kill yourself  

Just now, 420SA said:

Dont these water distillers work? Some are priced 2k to 4k

 

I have no idea, I generally just chuck the solvent and use fresh. But I get it easily from my SO's lab, they use tons of the stuff.

5 minutes ago, 420SA said:

Cool will probably get from them. Thanks all for the input.... now my next pursuit is a distiller to recycle the solvent. Any ideas?

Those are easy, but you're going to pay out your arse for one. http://distillique.co.za/distilling_shop/32-diy-kits
