Is my EC ok for plain water?
Faegrows
started grow question 5y ago
Stupid question but the EC on my meter is it 0.3 or 3.7? I never really minded the EC just ppm as I grow in canna Coco plus but now I'm wondering if the EC is actually right. PH is usually 6.3-6.4.

It means your ppm is about 185ppm 0.37. 500ppm is 1.0 ec. 1000ppm is 2.0 ec Take your ppm and double it. This is the hanna reading.

So it’s not bad for tap water.. anything above .4 EC would be worrisome to me. And yours is .37

Spiruline fertilizer
Just wondering if anybody here has experience in using Spiruline as source of food for the plants? It is an algae with lots of nutrients and beneficial stuff and I am trying to use it for my plant but perhaps I am doing something wrong/useless. Any experience to share?

AN sensi line is confusing me can someone help ? Will I need to use grow with the autos ? Or shall I just use bloom part b ? Bloom part a is pure N ?
I'm growing autos. Using AN sensi line. I've only ever used AN grow and bloom, but my grow shop nearby only had the sensi line available so I decided to buy them. I've gave my girls 2 doses of feed part a&b grow and they've showed signs of N tox. Can anyone advise me on AN Sensi

Has anyone very used 'sta-green' potting soil on a grow, and if so, what kind of results did you get? I probably will not use it again, but it was what I had at the time, and really it's not doing as bad as I had thought it would. PEACE!

Watering with natural spring water?
Since I am growing with 50% coco/50% Perlite PH of water should be between 6.0 and 6.5. I hate to measure PH so I have found a very super cheap still water SASKIA which has PH of 6.2. Is that possible to grow with natural spring water? Any risk? See ingridients on the picture.

Compost tea pH
Gazillion recipes on line. But my question is about pH. What should the pH be? Is it advised to try and raise or lower it with G.H. up/ down or try silica or lime. Not finding recipes that cover pH adjustment or concerns. I worry about liquids. I've got a bottle of silca blast.

How much hydro nutrients per plant?
My two tiny plants have access to 100 liters of water with nutrients added according to the schedule of the producer (Hesi). But the ratio of water to plants is very different comparing to smaller scaled hydroponics. Is there a rule of thumb or such?

When to start my flush (lots of close up pics)
I'm curious when I should to begin flushing one of my plants. I know I don't have a diary for her, but she's in her 6th week of flowering starting her 7th week on Wednesday (August 5th) and from what I've read Dread Bread takes between 8-9 weeks to finish. Any opinions?
