If in soil no. Every other should work unless you have coco in substrate mix.

I'm still trying to raise my soils pH, I'm using Olympus up which has lime, should I give a higher dose or jus pH water till pH runoff goes up?
If I use nectar for the gods Olympus up which has lime in it and I'm having low soil pH probs, should I use more Olympus up and adjust my pH and would that help raise my soils pH? Or should I jus use pH water until my pH runoff is where I want it? Advice greatly appreciated.

Será uma deficiência de cobre?
Ola, sem ser a questão que já não consigo subir mais os leds e as plantas já estão a mostrar sinais de stress por causa da luz. Agora apareceu me uma das plantas assim, com as pontas amarelas mas a ficar maior. Fiz um flush para limpar, pois penso que seja nutrientes a mais.

Plant not taking up water, please help
Hi, my plant is not taking up water -- I'm afraid I've over watered and caused some sort of root shock. I have also been battling a fungus infection -- dark brown spots on the leaves. Any steps to help treat this? Maybe this is a nutrient deficiency? Plant is a 8 wk old auto.

To my outdoor growing gurus.. How do I schedule a regular nute feed????
doing an outdoor grow and dealing with a consistent rain schedule every couple of days. Can i supplement a feed and give more water (think that's a bad idea), or do I wait until the girls are thirsty again to give nutes? Possible too much rain stunting growth?

Looking for clarification on the Flush time required for a RDWC grow? I have read this can be as little as 2 days of just plain water but should this also include CalMag if I am RO water? I assume the standard root rot treatment continues? i.e. OxyPlus, HydroGuard, Phytoff?Thanks

New growth gets lighter in color
Looking at the pictures you can see new growth on both plants is getting lighter in color each day. I’m thinking nitrogen, maybe? Complete day by day photos are in the diary. Thanks

Magnesium deficiency? How to cure it?
Is this a sign of magnesium deficiency (my other plant has similar spots)? If so, I've read online (on the Canna nutes website) that I should spray the leaves with Epsom Salt (2% solution): is this correct? Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance

White leaf tips and spots? Help :(
Im using spring water from a mountain near by,but it is pretty acid (~4.8 ph). Could that be the reason my plants have white tips and a spot on the leaf? Or could it be the height of the light? I will raise the ph to about 5.5-6.2 ,so hope for better results. Thank you :)
