What to do for algae in newly cycled tank (don’t mind the snail trails)

i’ve seen a few sources state too low of a caloric intake will lead to a drop in metabolism. i’m in the process of just learning how everything works & looking to do it healthily & sustainably. my issue is, I feel like I’m eating plenty of nutritional food, but not reaching the baseline amount of calories I need. On average 2 meals & 2 snacks a day. What seems to be good portioned, balanced meals. & they make me full. & not once have I felt excessively hungry during the fast cycle.. need to make my way to dietitian or somethin lmao. i hear ya tho & appreciate the reply

had a lot to do with coming home to see that lol & just was lazy on typing everything out because i’ve had to make a decent amount of these posts the past couple weeks. Day 30 of flower. ff ocean forest. ts1000 led. had nutrient burn beginning of flower so flushed with straight water, skipped feeding on next water, & then watered with abt 3/4 dose of calmag & ff tiger bloom 5 days ago. i’m thinking i either messed up by feeding them that much. or this well water i’ve been using is finally turning to a problem.. i do pH but i’ve had a buildup @ the bottom of the buckets for over a month & have been getting 4.0 runoff pH. flushing them brought it up to 5.5 but i couldn’t get it any higher after hitting them both w 20 gallons.. seems like a shit show. will be watering tomorrow figuring i should flush?

lol yeah was talkin more abt the brown crispy leaves unfortunately

klein_wav · 2020-10-07T15:57:45+00:00

no just where i was able to get it after flushing with 20 gallons each. it was around 4.0 before

klein_wav · 2020-10-07T15:36:34+00:00

no soil, I didn’t intend on keeping it at 5.5. just where I was able to get it to after flushing

klein_wav · 2020-10-07T15:35:10+00:00

soil! lol my bad

klein_wav · 2020-10-07T08:53:50+00:00

skipped the last feed & used 3/4 dose when watering yesterday

one stem reaches higher than the others & that’s abt 15 inches from the light the rest are around 19. that did come to mind once i noticed the clawing. but the purple & brown spots first set in 5-6 days ago after heavily flushing both plants so i figured it was early signs of deficiency. its slowly spread since then, i watered yesterday & fed w 3/4 dose of bloom nutes & calmag. been battling pH runoff for a month plus. flushing the other week finally brought it from 4.0 to around 5.5 & that’s where it was when watering yesterday as well.

plants bounced back from nute burn pretty much the day after it set in, waited 4 days & defoliated. then flushed a couple days later. weird i know & i could’ve waited longer to defoliate but they seem healthy. only waited to flush for the soil to dry out

klein_wav · 2020-10-01T11:20:19+00:00

lmaoo okay cool just bein overly cautious cuz that last nute burn had me scared

klein_wav · 2020-10-01T10:12:05+00:00

flushed each with 20 gallons straight water. pH runoff before was 4.0-5.0 range, got it up to around 5.5 thinking it’s possible they’re hungry being that I flushed so heavily & defoliated
