started grow question 4y ago
How do you exactly use GHE silicate powder in hydro set up? When I mix it in the tank in 24h it has all settled on the bottom. Advice needed !

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.

I’m out of BioHeaven
I’m out of Bio-Heaven and I wonder whether it’s worth getting some more, given that I’ll probably flush the plants within a few weeks and only use water then. Plus it’s quite expensive compared to BioGrow, BioBloom or TopMax… Any ideas or maybe an organic substitute? Thanks!

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, thx

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?

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.

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

Canna boost and autopots
HI! I have a question regarding Canna Boost and autopots. Do you use it in a reservoir? The ph is rising faster in res since I added it. The nutrient solution in res also got cloudy and trays became slimy. Since I use airdromes the ph also rised too much.
