Go light and use the liquid version. This stuff will burn a hole through diamond, so dilute it well before adding to reservoir or it will precipitate you nutes. Use half strength. This will spike a 5 gallon bucket near 8 or higher at 2 ml/gal.

Water vs Nutrients
I eventually would like to start adding nutrients to her feedings and wanted to know does it matter what type of water the nutrients are added to, for example: distilled, tap, RO? Or is it just the pH of the water that is important?

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?

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

Thoughts on compost tea?
First time making compost tea, if anyone can think of anything to build on, would appreciate some knowledge. Already have a 4-4-4 mixed in to the coco coir, so I’m making the tea out of 🍅 fertilizer for calcium and molasses for sugar.

ph Problems
I have always used tap water in a big bucket that I scoop from to water. I am using Root Farm phDown. The tap water is 7.6 to 8. If I ph the bucket the ph rises again within a day. Is it Root Farm or should I ph only the amount I need per watering? Do other ph down's do this?

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.
