answered grow question 5y ago
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.

EC of 8 starting out (from RO Hydrologic Stealth 150. Do I add the goal EC (2.1 per Athena Instructions) to the 8 I started with?
Im using Athena Blended Nutrients. 1st time Grower. Watched many videos, going by Instructions. The EC coming out of my HydroLogic Stealth 150 is 8 us/cm. The Mixing Instructions say to get an EC of 2.1 for the 1st week Is this 2.1 plus the 8 I started with?

I’m out of BioHeaven
I’m out of Bio-Heaven and I wonder whether it’s worth getting some more, given that I’ll probably flush the plants within a few weeks and only use water then. Plus it’s quite expensive compared to BioGrow, BioBloom or TopMax… Any ideas or maybe an organic substitute? Thanks!

i don't know where the fault lies, my plant is growing too slowly and the leaves on the buds are deformed. The last time I tested the soil pH was 7.5 even though I watered at 6.5 and the runoff ppm was 1800. Can anyone tell me what I should do now to make the plants grow well.

Can I use NPK of 2-3-3 for flowering phase?
I found in the store a liquid fertiliser only for flowering plants with a NPK ratio of 4-6-6, so a lot of potassium and phosphorus which are good for the flowering phase. I was thinking about feeding the plant with this, halving the dose reaching a 2-3-3 ratio. Is it good?

PK Flower Feeding
I flushed with 16L of water for nitrogen toxicity. Going forward I am going to continue using Sensi Bloom nutrients and I am wondering if it would be beneficial to just use Sensi Bloom part B since part A is an NPK 3-0-0.

Salt nutrients
Hi! I found this calculator on https://www.omnicalculator.com/biology/water-soluble-fertilizer and I have analyzed the NPK salt I bought (KRISTALON ORANGE) and I don't think this one is suited for cannabis. Balance of N to K and even S seems way off. Do you guys agree?

PPMS?
What’s the simplest way to understand parts per million? 1 gallon of water, ph 6.86 ? I took multiple readings of the run off water from different spots of the tray and finally ended up pouring all the run off into a cup . The plant is about 90 days old. Week 7 of flower.
