Humic acid in dwc - too much
ToastiesBurnedstarted grow question 3 years ago
I just put my seedling in the dwc bucket. GH nutrients. I just used the directions for a light feeding of diamond nectar, but dialed everything else back. Can too much humic acid be bad? How much is too much for a seedling?

If you are using your base nutes at 25% then dial the diamond nectar back to 25% recommend dose.

Yes it can Cause ph problems humic acid is normally at a pH of 6 . Also can cause a lockout too . just give her some fresh pH water for now and see how she goes but I'm sure she will bounce back. I iuse humic acid plus in all grows . x

How much do you feed them extra-PK with Biotabs ?I use Biotabs : Mycotrex, Bactrex, Orgatrex, Startrex with a light mix soil and light water (0.08 to 0.1 ec). Some people told me I shouldn't put much PK 5-8 because they easily burn. How much and how often would you feed them PK ? I use blumats with plain water in 6.5L pots, thxWeek 6

FOAM in the DWC tankHi guys, yesterday I changed the solution in DWC and today I saw some foam in the tank.
I had some ph oscillation and used first ph down and after some silica to raise ph. I guess that could cause that foam, what do you think? Some tips?Week 4

I stopped giving my plants Plagron Silic Rock from mid last week (week 13, week 5 flower). Can anybody tell me if I did right to cut it in flower or does anybody has experience using this nute until the end of their grow? I think this nute is just for veg and early flower.2 years ago
