Distilled water for calibration is a must because you need 0 Ppm water and it has a neutral ph.. it's how the Calibration fluid works. Plain old tap water can be great for plants depending on where you live, not all water that comes from taps is the same.

Please anyone reading this.. Research bleach before putting that stuff in your water... Not a good idea..

IMO, if you are using tap water, be careful about your cal-mag nutes.
I would only do 50% strength, until you see how your plants are doing.

As for water for plants/calib , best is distilled. To adjust your PH with tap water.
Lemon for PH down. 1/4 slice will drop 1 gallon by 1.5 points.
Bleach for PH up. 1/2 teaspoon will raise up by 1.5 per gallon.
Hope that helps you.

Hi Hardcunt12, i use tap water and let it breath for 24h so all additives in the water can dissipate/evaporate. After adding the nuts measure the ph level and correct it if necessary. Hope it helps you. #420

Questions about wateringI created a 40 ml solution, the instructions say to transplant after the sprout has grown to the top of the plastic cover and the roots are visible through the plug. The question is, is 40 ml of liquid enough for this growth? I think not.

Help: potential over fertilisation or over waterningI used Biobizz bio grow, 2ml/L and sprayed them more than usual. The tip of the leaves is getting yellow. 2 plants have the leaves pointing down and seem more textured and tick. The other 2 (the biggest) seem better, but the yellowing of the leaves is more evident.

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200.
I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new).
Should I increase EC of the feeding water?
I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

expert opinion asked ? Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)
I'm not sure about the degree of ripeness.
I used Co2 for a few weeks (1000ppm), the grower says ~60-70 days of flowering, so I would be missing 10-20 days, but they look quite ripe ?
What should I do
Thank you

Does this look like minor leaf burn, too many nutrients or something else?I believe two of the plants developed minor leaf burn. One has white streaks on the middle and outer portions of several leaves, and the other has a rust, reddish stripe parallel to the center of several leaves. I’ve attached pictures above. Thoughts are greatly appreciated.
