Hard water vs CalMag
whoawhoastarted grow question 4 years ago
I don't have EC/PPM meters, but I know that I have hard tap water, according to my city water distribution company. Do I need to suplement CalMag on my feedings? How much should I use if I don't have PPM meters here? What are the risks of using or not using CalMag in this case?

Plants grown under LED lighting require more Calcium and Magnesium generally, even with hard water.
That said, I have grown several plants fully under Quantum Boards without CalMag supplements, so it's not a complete nessecity.
I use 1ml/L in vegetation and 2ml/L in flower.
Your girls will spend about a week indicating that they need CalMag before doing anything crazy, so learn to listen to the living plants -- and keep a cannabis deficiency chart on hand for reference :) If left unchecked, it can lead to stunted growth and diminished yields.

If you are using GHE nuts then buy the soft water micro if your water is hard , like that you will not have to bring extra cal mag because the soft water micro is more charged than the hard water in term of cal/mag so if you are using it with a water already charged in Cal/mag then no need to add extra cal mag

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.

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.

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

soil is 6.5 and my water is 6.5 but the run off is in the 4s.Hi all. I’m confused.
My soil is 6.5 and my water is 6.5 but the run off is in the 4s. The plants aren’t liking this so what’s going on?
My feed is easy boost by RWS, you mix with the soil and it feeds for the duration.
Any ideas where this could be going wrong?

Foliar spray in DWCCan you use a foliar spray made from organics (fulvic and humid acid, potash, sea kelp, wetting agent) in a DWC? Or is using any organic material more trouble than it's worth? Is week 3 too early for foliar spraying? Hoping to green my thumb a bit. Thanks

Did I give too much fertilizer??So I decided to add in some soluble fertilizers. I gave it a 1/4 tsp (50% of recommended dosage) a couple days ago and noticed some yellowing of new growth on the bud sites. Is this a sign of excess potassium and phosphorus? I gave it Fox Farm Open Sesame (5-45-19).

Proper feeding questionQuick question. How do you outdoor growers feed. Ex.g,
Say I feed a gallon of mixed PHed nutes to my crop. Do you water as well? What if the soil is already wet like from a rain? If so before or after the nutes? I've looked online EVERYWHERE and cannot find an answer. ThankWeek 23
