answered grow question 6y 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.

AN SensI Grow / Bloom A+B interchangeable?
Looks like I’ll run out of Bloom at some point and I have lots of Grow left so wondering: Since part A is 3-0-0 for grow and bloom, are they interchangeable? Could I almost double up Grow B and get a Bloom B? 1-2-6 vs 2-4-8 I’m feeding at half mix rates anyways. Or bad idea? TIA

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.

PPMs are running high during germination
My PPMs are reading 600 in the DWC reservoir, which seems high. Tap water reads 380 normally. Doing a top feed system so the roots will reach the top feed tube in about 2 days if they germinate. Should I do a complete res change or just top up with pH'd RO/distilled water?

Runoff pH still climbing!
My runoff PH keeps climbing despite lowering water pH. Plants look great but have red stems. Is it possible that the bottom of my fabric pots are saturated with excess Calcium and Diatomaceous Earth? Thus, raising my runoff PH. Soil meter reads 6.8 though 🤔

Growth seems stunted?
I feel like the growth is a bit stunted and she isn’t looking as good as usual. Leaves hanging/curling a bit down and some look a bit blistery (very lightly only). I just did a flush with 5.9ph water 25 degrees and the runout was 6.1 ph and 605 ppm and ec 1210 so I assume 1.2?
