Problemas de ferilización?
Que opinan sobre está carencia/exceso en estás plantas? Ambas tienen 4 semanas y han mostrado esos indicios solo en las hojas viejas, pienso que puede ser déficit de calcio/magnesio, aunque no controlo pH, así que es un factor que también quizás debería considerar. Que opinan?

Blumats and Feeding
For people who use Blumat systems, what's the procedure for mixing in nutrients/supplemental things for growth? The Blumat system pulls water when the soil dries past a certain point, so what's the best rule for feeding in that case? Shut the system "off" a few days pre feed?

Canna boost and autopots
HI! I have a question regarding Canna Boost and autopots. Do you use it in a reservoir? The ph is rising faster in res since I added it. The nutrient solution in res also got cloudy and trays became slimy. Since I use airdromes the ph also rised too much.

Keeping nutrients longer
I have a simple system with a pump that adds water to my coco pots once every couple of days but the nutrient solution starts separating (making a foam) after a couple of days. Do you have solutions for this problem or nutrient suggestions? I am currently using canna coco a/b.

Automatic irrigation
I bought a dustbin with a lid as bought a water pump, tubing, 4mm connectors and 4mm plastic sprayers that are meant to be controllable by screwing a lid. It’s not all 4mm tubing. The flow is so weak and I can’t figure out why. The pump has a big enough flow. What a let down :(

The problem in plants when I supplying CO2
Hello! After adding CO2, I noticed problems on the leaves of my plants. Grow in coco+perlite, water with 1100ppm solution, 1000ppm co2 in air. Drain from the right 1400ppm and 1800 from the right. Is it related to co2 and irrigation system?
