To Ro or not to Ro is the question
docholidaystarted grow question 5 years ago
So I'm starting my first in door grow and have the option of RO water or tap water. I'm using a promix bx blend with some extra worm castings. Plants are blueberry autos from seedsman. reading off the tap 2 months ago was around 300ppm. But we see fluctuations in the summer

Also I'd recommend germinating them via the paper towel method (if you haven't already and starting them in peat pots to keep them from over watering

I literally just buy spring water from the store and mix in calimagic accordingly. This is my first grow and you can see how well it's been going. I used MG nature's care organic potting soil (should've used fox farms I know I know) with Living soil autoflower concentrate. This has worked great for me and made the whole process simple. Not sure if that answers your question but just putting my two cents in.

Hydro - Ec stable, Ph dropping - Raise EC instead of lowering it ?I have the feeling that when there's not a lot of nutes, PH drops but it means I have to add EC, not lower it. I noticed this when I fed them with a very low EC. I added more EC and they ate a lot right away. What did you experience ? Has to do with them eating all cal-mag ? THXWeek 7

PH and EC problemHi, I have a problem with my plants. I´ve checked the runoff and was 7.0 PH.
When I was fertilizing I gave them nutes with PH 6.1 EC 1.2 and runoff was EC 0.4 and PH 6.8. When plain water EC 0.4 PH6.0 and 5.8, runoff EC was 0.4 -0.8, PH 6.7-7.0.

Hydroponic or soil - differences in taste?From what I can see on this website, hydroponic systems tend to give greater yields than soil-grown projects. However, I also read that the aroma is not as rich. Did someone here try to grow the same strain once in soil and once hydroponic and can give a personal taste review?Feeding. Other

FISH SHIT during flush - why? TIA ^_^To add or not to add fish shit. The bottle states that adding it during flushing will help break down salts and nutes, allowing flushing to happen faster. Seems logical to me though I hear JUST WATER is the way to go the last couple weeks.
Whats the community standard?Week 12

Hydro - 3 strains. What consequences after slight veg overfeeding ? Do they look dark ?I've had technical issues on veg that resulted in a slight overfeeding and now they don't want to feed much (tap water 0.4 + 0.3 nutes), 5 days after 12/12. I'm not sure they will accept very much more, even when I'll introduce flo nutes. Will yield be weak ? And quality ? ThxWeek 5
