Should I use distilled water instead of tap water and jus add nutes? I have a feeling my tap water is a little on the hard side 354ppms
Is distilled water better to use than tap water? My tap water reads 354 ppm, I have a feeling it's too hard so what I'm wondering is would I be better off using distilled and add nutes rather than using tap water? The pics ik I am feeding cal mag an some N next watering.

When does flowering begin?
🌷🌼🌹I’m curious how you all think about this. What do you consider to be day 1 or week 1 of flowering in an auto? Is it when the pre flowers appear? Or when the buds appear? This is my 3rd grow and I have this question every time. When does vegetating end and flowering begin?

Flowering tent setup?
I’m growing in a cupboard under a 600w HPS. Things are going well using LST and light defoliation. Flowering is well underway but there’s an outside chance I could run out of height. I’m thinking a tent for flowering phase of my (4) autos. What setup do you recommend? Thanks

Not sure why but she is showing either magnesium, calcium, or potassium deficiency. Do you agree? My PH is 6.3 this water, and was 6 the last sprinkle I gave her.

First time FIM, does it look normal a few days later?
Hi Growmies, Just wondering if this FIM attempt is looking any good a few days on? It's just that I am struggling to visualise how it will end up? To me, she looks like she is carrying on growing in the "Christmas tree" format. Did I miss a FIM lmao? Is that possible? lol.. TY

Yellowing tips
Hi, I'm a newbie grower here. I have an autoflower that is nearly weeks old. I have started to notice some yellowing tips on the leaves. I have been feeding it some vitasol and pm13/14 as well as watering every two days. The growing medium is worm casing compost and perlite.

When using ffof soil that says it has a pH of 6.3-6.8 is it still necessary to pH my water when using nutrients?
This may be a stupid question but w ffof it says the soil is already pH 6.3-6.8 so my question is do I still need to pH my water when using or not using nutrients or is there no need to because the soil is already the correct pH?

Transferring into a slightly different soil and when to use nutes
I have started two auto strains in smaller fiber pots with FF Happy Frog and plan on transferring them to 3 gallon fabric pots with FF Ocean Forest. Is this a good idea and if so roughly when should I transfer and begin nuts?
