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.

Tap Water PPMWhat PPM does your tap water come out at? Mine comes out at 380 with a pH of 8.5. I’m pretty sure that means I don’t need to use any Cal Mag.Feeding. Chemical composition

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

Autoflower PPM Requirements - DWCI have found this plant's water/nutrient intake is equal at 350ppm right now - end week 5. I am beginning to feel after several auto grows that the ppm requirement with GH nutrients is WAY less than what the web serves up? I doubt I can push this one beyond 500ppm? (0ppm water)Week 5

Is it worth buying mycorrhizae funghi at week 7?Is it worth buying mycorrhizae fungi for my roots at this point? I only found about this now and i’m planning on flipping my plant in about a week. I’m wondering if it’s worth the investment or if I might as well leave it on this plant. Do I need to take her out of the pot if soWeek 7

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 🤔Week 12

High ppm in drainageI flushed coco two times with 8-10 litres with CalMag (200 ppm) and it does not help. You can see in my comments to the last weeks of the diary that it doesn't matter how much ppm I water the plant, it is always 2-3 times more ppm in drainage.What should I do?2y ago
