Demineralized water to finish

Deejay_scuffstarted grow question 3y ago

Hey folks! Got a question about giving fresh water to finish. I bought some demineralized water to give them for the last week. The problem being I can't seem to get a reading on ph. I'm assuming because there's no ions in the water . Is this stuff ok to use opposed to distilled?

As long as your using fresh water with no added nutrients and the PH isn’t drastically off you’ll be fine. You aren’t wanting your plants to uptake nutrients from medium (soil, coco etc) any more, so nutrient lockout due to the PH being off shouldn’t be a worry. The principle of flushing of flushing is to flush out the nutrients you’ve been feeding your plants from the medium so that the plants can use up what has been stored in its leaves. Good luck bro 💪

Your right with you won't get a reading on your digital pen. For flushing out the medium and plant it shouldn't really matter to much.

Which single bloom supplement would I benefit from most?I’m considering purchasing something to boost my blooms. I’ve looked at koolbloom and big bud. I’ve used big bud in a commercial setting and got buds the size of my head, but can’t verify big bud did that. I’ve seen good results with just the GH trio too. Any input is appreciated

Coco grow, runoff EC levels LOWER than input levels. Hungry plants or something more sinister?Since getting a better light, runoff EC has been dropping steadily, and is now LOWER than input (~ -75 micros below). Not just an anomaly, this has been every feed for 3 days and is predictable. Could my plants be asking for more food in response to the growth from the new light?

EC and PH of Runoff still Higher than Solution even after a flush and lowering the EC Hi, i still having this problem even after down the concentration of solution for 1/4 that scheduling feeding table says. I have some measurements listed in the week 10. Maybe my media is buffering PH and EC because i used to recycle it over times?

Watering a seedling Hey, I learned that when watering you need to water until there ~20% runoff but I watered little at a time during 30 minutes or so and gave about 3-4L of plain water before runoff and even if two leaves have popped I'm worried. Is this normal ?

Yellow leaves The lower leaves turn yellow Is it due to a lack of nitrogen, or is it self-defoliation of the plant? (photos at week 5) I look forward to your advice) Should other leaves be defoliated or left as they are?
