Ph+ and Ph- are not that expensive. The difference between this products and homemade solutions,is the stability of ph. Go to your favourite shop and buy a ph+. I always had to buy Ph- tho,since in my city the water ph is 9! Good luck 👊🏽🍀🍀

Tap Water PPM What PPM does your tap water come out at? Mine comes out at 380 with a pH of 8.5. I’m pretty sure that means I don’t need to use any Cal Mag.

Flower N-P-K Is there a good "rule of thumb" N-P-K to start with for flowering? I have a 4-6-3, 3-9-4, and 2-2-2 to mix for various N-P-K's. I'd like to get close to an ideal mix when I top dress in a few weeks. I know fertilizer needs will vary by strain, but I'm interested in a baseline.

Growth seems stunted?I feel like the growth is a bit stunted and she isn’t looking as good as usual. Leaves hanging/curling a bit down and some look a bit blistery (very lightly only). I just did a flush with 5.9ph water 25 degrees and the runout was 6.1 ph and 605 ppm and ec 1210 so I assume 1.2?

feeding great on a really low EC at 0.8, but i see other grows at pushing 1.5 at the same week. im flooding (Oxygen Pot w/ hydroton) every 4 hours, which feels pretty often. are the amount of floods proportionate to the EC? ex. if i flood less then my ec should be set higher?

Milorganite- has anyone tried it on cannabis?Has anyone ever used Milorganite on their grow? I have used it on my lawn many years and it turns the lawn a beautiful green. The best part about Milorganite is if you pour a lot on your lawn it does not burn your lawn at all. I know some people use it in their vegetable beds.

Which NPK Ratio for autoflowers?what npk ratio is good? if i only use the ph perfect micro,grow and bloom it will give a ratio of 4-3-8. if i add B52,Big Bud,Nirvana and overdrive i get a ratio of 7-10-20.. if i only add overdrive i get a ratio of 5-8-12 which seems better in my opinion then adding them all in.
