##################Welcome to week 4 ################################# This week I will briefly discuss nutrient mixing. *The first thing I do before making a nutrient mix is to make sure everything Im using is cleaned such as the ph and tds meters, Mixing bucket/s and measuring cup/s *Next I use only natural rain water as my H2O base, you can also use RO filtered or distilled water or even plain tap water provided you let it sit for atleast 12 hours to let any residual cholrine dissipate. * First thing I mix in is the Cyco silica which will raise the ph to about 9 I then use a few drops of ph down to bring it to as close to 5.8 as I can , the silica seems to act as a buffer because you can now mix in the remaining nutrients one by one and the ph will stay very close to where you set it after adding the silica. Amazing right !! πŸ˜€ It's important to always thoroughly mix your nutrients into the water and never mix nutrients together always add them one at a time mixing well between each part added. The 10 litre Mix of nutrients for this weeks growth are as follows 2mls / litre Cyco Silica 2drops ph down 1ml / litre Professors nutrients A + B 0.5mls / litre Seasol PPM 450 PH 5.8 That Concludes the Hydro how to part for now Next week will focus on the Plant itself as she has been showing signs of some sort of nutrient deficiency and I will attempt to rectify it. ##### Update 18/7/19 The Rust looking stuff on the leaves is not a cal mag or any other nutrient deficiency as I first thought, It turns out it is Rust fungus 😱 Fuckity Fuck fuck!! Anyway I am attempting to fix the problem and will update again at the End of the Week

Nice info! This will help a lot of people starting out. That exhaust out the window like that on the ac is false advertising I think lol. There is a water hose that drains condensation from the cooling coil and it can't go up like that. It has to go down or it will leak.

Looking good man. So does silica in general help keep that PH where you want it, or just the brand your using. Also silica helps plants handle higher temperatures if I'm correct?

@DILLIGAF, cool il keep following your progress and keep doing your thang!

@jollychap, I think it acts as a buffer in all the brands of silica and yes it makes the plants cell walls stronger so they can handle more stress like heat etc

I'm very interested to learn if you can manage your humidity issues with your new dehumidifier. I personally gave up on this. It will increase the temperature to unacceptable levels. Of course the humidity will decrease with the higher temperatures, but for me it is not worth it. Also the unit I have draws more power than all my lamps combined. Probably it is better to do an indoor grow in winter when it is so much easier to control the environment.
