Day 37: The plants are growing strong 💪 BUT I see some problems, not too much. I still see the magnesium deficiency as I have a very hard time to correct my PH level. I have watered many times with PH 5.5 - 5.8, but the run-off water always show around 7.0~ PH. I am doing some tests atm to try finding the cause. Atm I have 7 cups to test my nutrients/water. I started with 5 cups, measured 1200ml water to PH 5.54, and filled each cup with 200ml of the 5.54 PH water. The first cup I did nothing, 2. has 1ml of Canna coco a and b added, 3. cup 1ml of Rhizotonic added, 4. cup 1ml of Cannazym, and last 1ml of BioBizz CalMag. I then tested each cup PH, re-tested 10min, 30min, 2hours, 15 hours, and 24 hours later (So far) and all cups have increased PH level. The CalMag cup was the worse with an increase of 1.7 PH (went from 6.16 to 7.87). Even the first cup, only containing tap water (PH'ed with acetic acid) has increaed PH of 1.05 (went from 5.54 - 6.60). This seems very odd. Is there a problem with the tap-water? I decided to test my water against some store bought. I have only just started the test and I don't have the results yet. We must see tomorrow Day 38: Nothing makes sense to me anymore regarding my PH tests.... Every time I test a cup, no matter with nutes or not, with tap-water or store-bought, the PH increases on every test, even if I test them after seconds. I was expecting small +/- in my readings, as when I have tested 1 cup I test the next, and some small drops might land in the other cup, although I try my best to clean the meter between every test. I am clueless here.... Plain tap-water has increased ph from 7.85 to 9.10 in 44 hours. Store-bought water has increased PH from 7.84 to 8.70 in 20 hours. Can anyone explain me what is going on? Any idea what I could do? I did test my meter by making a new mix of water and acetic acid and got PH 5.5~ and than tested the old tap-water cup to the same as on my schema, and than the new mix again which showed about the same 5.5~. The meter might not be as accurate as the manual tells, I would say its maybe 0.2 +/- but defiantly NOT +/- 1.0+ Day 41: Plant have entered flowering state and I still have problems with the PH and now also EC. My tap water is showing 1.0 EC now. I have ordered a couple of things to make sure my PH and TDS meter is working properly and have to wait for it to arrive. Until then, I won't do anything, unless I have to. Hopefully the stuff will arrive before they need water. The plants are still growing fine, but I see some problems. I still have small signs of magnesium deficiency. I also see a little nute burn, properly caused by my suddenly high EC in tap-water (but not sure yet). I am not sure if there is other problems too, there might be, and I think it will be more easy to diagnose when I know the correct PH

I am germinating my seeds in coco. My coco shows PH of 4.5! That seems way too low! I tried to flushing with PH 6.7 water without any effect (see growdiary for more info). What should I do? Is something wrong with my coco?

That's a safe EC range.. still have to react to plant but you can be patient and more certain of the diagnosis before acting. Things will stand out as you find more plants need a little more Mg.. or not with experience and observance. So, runoff is a bit of an average of what you add and previous state of substrate. If it's higher on runoff, it's potentially a bit higher before you added an acidic solution. pH rising could be what is in the substrate - sometimes it's not the pH they advertise. Another possibility - You are adding citric acid.. is this also adding sugar? this would be feeding microbes that could impact pH. Try using 5% acetic acid (white distilled vinegar) to pH down... won't need more than a couple mL per gallon. The nutes used may not be well-stabilized (buffered). Even at 7, everything should* be fine or manageable. You don't want it going much higher though and better to lower it a bit. So, becareful of adding more acdic feed. Maybe try one @ 5.5pH and check runoff. It is a logrithmic scale from 7 so a little is a lot relative to changing "7ish" and you don't want any normally impossible reaction caused by an unusually acidic pH. Check runoff - try to do at same point as before. All the nutes are still avaialble to the plant @ 7ish. Iron / manganese might be the first to show signs of deficiency (fwiw, both result in interveinal chlorosis, tho progressing from opposite ends of plant and maganese will get necrotic spots.)

I have big problems understanding my PH levels. I put in @5.5-5.8 PH (lowered with acetic acid) and the run-off is always too high, about 7-7.5 PH. I started testing my water / nutrients by intervals and nothing makes sense to me. Every test shows an increase in PH, up to 2.7 up?

If you are starting with water at 8 or 9 pH, you have a big problem. Adjusting your pH with acetic acid (vinegar) does not work to stabilize pH levels long term and I believe a "pH down" additive based on phosphoric acid will keep pH stable for much longer. Also make sure to adjust your pH last, after all the fertilizers are added to the water. At this stage you will have to flush heavily with pH adjusted water (containing phosphoric acid) until your run off reads 5.8.

The problem again lies in your pH.... it's far too low for the essential nutrients to be absorbed by your plant. 6.2 is absolutely ideal but if you can get it between 6.0 and 6.5 you'll be fine.... I see you're giving her calmag - plant can't get at what you're giving her... get the pH up! Good luck!

I see some brown spots on my leaves. I thought it was Calcium Deficiency caused by too low PH so I gave them PH 6.5~ with 30% run-off, and run-off shows at least the same PH so I think it is not too low PH, could it be caused by something else? Maybe too high PH or light-stress?

I think its all caused by light stress. Plant is having issues with nutrients because the light is to strong. Raise it up to 50 cm and keep your feed as is. The small twisty growth at the bud sites and the serrated edges curling up are both signs of heat/light stress. Happy Growing.

Hallo Weediz. Deine hängenden Blätter liegt bestimmt am bewässern. Beachte bitte das Kokos kaum Rückhalt des Wassers hat. Lieber bis zum kurzen drain. Dann einen Tag Später nochmal. Kokos ist halt sehr luftig. Deine Pflanze sieht gut aus.

@KingSalomonsWeed, thank you so much for the tip. Sorry for the late response, but I didn't see your post until now. I think it was due to some light-stress, but under-watering could have contributed, and I have changed the watering routine. Now the leaves are praying again :)

Looking good growmie, i switched to coco almost a year ago and i LOVE it!! I've re used my same coco each grow. Your plants are filling out nicely, keep track of what you're doing and you'll find what works best for you! Happy growing 🤘🏾💪🏾

@DjgrowingMj, Thank you 🙏 I all ready love growing in coco. I have a feeling that I have so much more control over nutrients, and I know what they get. With soil I was not sure what the plant got, and what to feed them. If my plants was a 5/10 with soil, I think I am all ready at 8/10 with coco. Still much to learn, but I defiantly feel a great improvement 😇

@Grower202085, I don't see any problems yet. You think it is too much? According to this guide: https://www.canna-uk.com/growguide the total PPM at this state is 910ppm.

Yo good effort on coco and autos bro. Looks decent. Best coco nutrients look at green buzz nutrients. Game changer and it's cheap 🙌🏻 no need for ppm etc as it's Organic. Just add 1-5ml per liter of nutrients and ph 5.8 - 6.0 .. Honestly bro it's unreal
