*Tapwater: 21,3 °dh, 7.7 Ph, ec 700
Osmosis 23°, Ph 7 ec 500
switching to osmose only, adding additional Cal + Mag planned
keeping light at 50% (400-500 ppfd), i fear more light will worsen the deficiency until i buy calmag (biobizz calmag 1ml = 33mg Calcium, 11mg Magnesium)
0.5 m distance
i suspect Cal+mag def due to lack of transpiration caused by LED, too much kali, cal mag imbalance or everything at once
Lumatek would suggest 100% and 0,5 m distance at this point
Reducing Cal-Mag from 1 to 0,3 m,l/l probably wasnt the brightest move
After some research, i'm not sure if lack of calmag or lockout due Ph dipping below 6
i'll test the runoff asap.
13.02
IN: 2l
-Ph: 6,5
-ppm: 540
OUT: ca 200ml
-Ph: 5 *possible, lockout?
-ppm: 630
15.02
Soil Ph at root lvl: 5,5 Lockout confirmed, still don't know why
got myself new calibration fluid & Ph-meter, double checking my old Ph-pen and cal. fluids asap
*old Pen + old fluid vs new pen + new fluid
old pen: 0.4 + Ph
*old pen + new fluid vs new pen + new fluid
old pen 0.1 - Ph
This probably contributed but it's not too far off*
I noticed some mineral residues from evaporating, my filter isnt nearly as good as i need him to be.
Hard water is a curse, i'll test for Ca, Ma and K contents soon and dilute it with rainwater if possible
Changes:
-ventilation timer from 18h to 24h, this'll fix my nighly humidity spike
-new feeding schedule 1/2 of the previous
-aquarium omsosis filtration ordered
-isolated plant(1) with hight deficiencies with weaker light until she bounces back
bless all people who pass down knowlege to absolute idiots like me
hopefully my water problems will be gone
Tap
ppm: 760
Ph: 7,6
Osmosis
ppm: 80
Ph: 6,9
JBL water testkit got me some interesting results the calmag ratio in my tapwater
Ca: 100 mg/l
Ma: 200 mg/l
gonna test osmosis contents soon to see how much i'll have to add.
right know i'm only able got get a 3:1 ratio, but evertything is better than 1:2 Ca:Ma.
Next grow i'll sacrifice one plant to purely tapwater + new feeding schedule
