I have tested the spring water prior to adding into the res, its around 74ppm. Does anyone suggest a ppm pen brand? I was thinking about getting the ones where you leave them in and the lcd screen you mount on the outside somewhere for constant reads. The one thing I have noticed with this...

So I have a new girl starting. I just added the first nutri to the res, very low strength. I have 5 gallons of spring water in the res and added 5ml of micro and 7ml of grow. I checked the ppm after adding and it was 3050ppm. The ph is 5.9 I do not understand why it would be so high with...

Should I dilute the res and add a few mls of micro? I cant add it now or the ppm will be to high thats why Im confused on what to do.

So I can not get my plant healthy. Its a flood n drain setup, 150watt hps, using bottled drinking water and advanced nutrients. She is in flowering and probably has about 3 weeks or so left. The ph i check daily and does not change and the ppm is 856. I had the ppm a little higher, around...

thanks for the info. I was actually looking into Great White when I was reordering my nutrients. I will look into the silicate for the next grow and see how it goes. Last harvest I had white mold and that was a killer. It took like half of the weight but I still used it in baking. I did...

thanks for the help. im going to empty the res and start with a half strength and see how it goes. Where can you pick up 30%? I have never looked in stores for peroxide strengths

I will take another look for tiny bugs. Do they leave anything behind, like webs or shit or anything? The roots are laying open in a large resevior that gets flooded when feeding. I did put a few hydroton balls under the roots to lift them to help the water drain out from them. I have been...

tap water is too hard and has a high rust content, i wont even drink it. Can I use drinking water bottled?

That could explain why my plant looks like hell. I need to add a lot more nutrients to her res. Thanks

I am about to pull out my teeth if I can not figure this out. I have a drain and fill setup, 150watt hps, 5.8-5.9ph level, using distilled water with advanced nutri, feeding 3X while lights on. She is also in flowering for 5 wks so I do not know what I can spray. She looked beautiful until...

Im not sure when it comes to coco but have you tried increasing your mag/pa? I add espon salt to my res but I dont know what you would add sorry

I looked under microscope for mites and none. That is what I first thought actually when I saw the spots the first time. Any idea about the fungus on the roots? I was going to empty and clean out the res and add some peroxide. I was not sure when I add the peroxide if I should add nutrients...

I have a TDS-3 meter and am not sure how to read it. It states it reads from 0-9999ppm however on the screen I am getting a reading of 124. Does this mean its really 1240ppm or actually 124ppm?

I am about to pull out my teeth if I can not figure this out. I have a drain and fill setup, 150watt hps, 5.8-5.9ph level, using distilled water with advanced nutri, feeding 3X while lights on. She is also in flowering for 5 wks so I do not know what I can spray. She looked beautiful until...

I was wondering how do I just add calcium to my res? I have been having trouble getting my girl healthy and I think it is do to a calcium def. I know espson salt can be added so sodium, but what can I add to raise the calcium?
