Tds of water is 490. Is that a problem.
BraveheartGeneticsanswered grow question 3 years ago
Keep an eye on your plants but I think you'll be ok. You may have to adjust nutrients added so not to burn the plant. Play it by ear; If you spend a lot of time with her then that shouldn't be a problem. I know ground source water is always UVC blasted (or at least it should be) so you shouldn't have any harmful bacteria. You can get home devices that UVC your water as it comes in. Seen them with other more personal ground source water. It will lose calcium as it moves through pipes and collecting in certain areas. They are testing at the source and will be higher. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing

My water comes from underground aquafers. The annual report actually had higher values. I will get done distilled water to test it against but the water is very hard even before the tds meter.

Its mostly magnesium and calcium in the water anyway. both beneficial to plant growth.

It really depends where your water comes from. 490 is quite high, but if you live in an mountainous area it may have lots of mineral and macro nutrients in it. Which would be beneficial. Make sure your meter is working properly by testing at different sites and using deionised water as a control as the TDS should be zero. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing.

Unless your talking nutrients water then that's acceptable

Anything over 300 is poor for drinking. You want between 50 & 150ppm. My guess is your meter needs to be calibrated.

Watering too much at once vs runoff?‚Watering when soil is 2,5 cm dry‘:I read the soil should never be ‚swamp‘ wet after watering, yet I also read that the run off needs to be tested regularly - but watering till water runs off does make the soil muddy. Can there be too much water at once if the soil Is dry on top?Feeding. Other

Sick leaves, good budsSome leaves look sick. (Last photos at 8 weeks) Is this an overdose? Do I need to fix this? From fertilizers, I apply only ripen. I plan to give it 2-3 times and then flush and harvest.
I know that ripen helps to end life and makes the leaves turn yellow, but not so!4 years ago

what EC do you feed and how often?I've been giving 6.5 pH water once and the next time I add nutrients until I get an EC of 1mS/cm. This was ok before (runoff didn't show many nutrients on soil). Now I water 2.5L/day but the plant leaves nutrients in soil (runoff EC increases rapidly!) It's in week 4 of flower.4 years ago

I think I under fed my plant.This photo is her 21st day. Somehow i kept ppm at 430, right now it is almost 500 ppm.
I think i screwed right? And thats why it is so tiny for an auto fastberry.
I would really appreciate if you check my diary out and comment.

MOLASES FEEDINGI am using CANNA TERRA PROFFESIONAL PLUS, I have not added any organism in it,Should I feed molasses to it? I have read that molasses just feeds the soil and not the plant so is there a reason to do it? Does this soil contains any organism by itself that molases will help feedWeek 7
