Organic Root Stimulator by B.A.C. is good. Don't know if it's available in Canadia, but is recommendable, if you can get it. Keeps drippers clean too. In fact, all their products are pretty good.
Cheers.

ph ProblemsI have always used tap water in a big bucket that I scoop from to water. I am using Root Farm phDown. The tap water is 7.6 to 8.
If I ph the bucket the ph rises again within a day.
Is it Root Farm or should I ph only the amount I need per watering?
Do other ph down's do this?Week 10

Fertilisershello! I'm using a prefertilised substrate with NPK 12-14-24 (Plagron lightmix).Which nutrients should I consider to buy next?
Plagron offers a NPK 3-1-3 or 4-2-4 for growing and a 2-2-4 or 3-2-5 for blooming. Beyond brands, what ratio should I look for, for what elements?
ThanksWeek 2
