HeavyHeadstarted grow question 4y ago
Been running happyfrog with about 20% perlite.
Water going in is at 0 EC /6.8-7PH
Run off is coming out at 6.5EC/4PH
Should I flush until it lowers ?

Бро, в твоём случае по фотографии растение показывает явный дефицит магния, попробуй использовать листовую подкормку с сагнием, например раствор сульфат магния. Или используй calmag. Ph тут не причем

In my experience with FFHF, my water had to be as close to 6.7 as possible. Always had low ph on runoff. But they usually didn't have any issues.

Feeding rain water from distilled waterHello everyone,
Currently I’m using distilled water to feed my plants and i collected some buckets of rain water for the past few days. I checked the ph level and it’s a bit high. I have ph down and up to adjust it. Is it ok to switch using the rain water with added nutrients?Week 5

Plagron sugar royal - hermie´sCould plagron sugar royal cause plants to hermie? I have used sugar royal for 2 grows and in these grows, always 1 or 2 plants went hermie. Before I have never used sugar royal and I never have had any hermies.
Sugar royals creates a kind of drought stress to increase trichomes.Feeding. Other

When to use terra aquatica ripen? Wait until they look ready to harvest or when they look like they will be ready in 2 weeks while using ripen?I'm coming to the end & I think they need a few more weeks at least, but I may be just kidding myself, thinking they're gonna double in size.
I'm gonna use ripen for the final 2 weeks with a 48h flash clean before & after, so should I start now or wait for more amber trichomes?2y ago

EC madness!!!!About EC. Er...confusing eh? So, if I feed with 1200 and it comes out 2000, I need to lower the feed until it comes out 1600? And if I feed at 1200 and it comes out at 1400 I can increase? Right? Is the whole point of this to give the plant as much feed as she can take?Week 20

Toxicity and pH issues.I'm pretty sure I have to much nitrogen in my soil and I think the pH is maybe neutral but I need to know how to test the soil. Should I flush her again and with how much? I also think she's beginning to flower 😉. 5 weeks old tomorrow. Help a newbie out again ☺️Feeding. Other

Runoff PPM's are higher and Ph numbers are lower than what I've been adding when I water-When I watered each of the plants with Ph balanced water only the runoffs for each plant were about 30% higher ppm than I put in on the previous watering with nutes (see numbers above). The plants look very healthy. Should I be concerned with this and if so why?Week 9

7 years old BIOBIZZI have 2 of bottles of BIOBIZZ nutes but very old (7 years). They were in a cold, dark place all that time. It doesnt smell bad or doesnt look bad either, maybe tiny bit of solidified stuff at the bottom but nothing major. How safe is it to use these? whats worst that can happen?Feeding. Other
