So my new growth is comin in yellow so I bumped sum more nutes in my tubs. How long will it take for then nute to get to the plants and for me to see a difference in colour. I don't wanna bump it up agn cuz I didn't think it was enuff but it jus actually take effect yet and them end up adding too much and burning them. Thanx guys. RR

If you have a nutrient deficiency of some kind and correct it, you should see some difference in 24 hrs.

Dude, be careful. Most often a nutrient def comes from improper ph levels. Pumping more nutrients before correcting the ph levels, actually just creates more blocking of the nutrients as they collect together like a damn and prevent the proper nutrients from coming into the roots. One of the most common problems with nutrient def is that the grower will try to compensate with more nutrients and thus make more of a nutrient def. I know changing the water out is much more costly, but it will be alot quicker than balancing ph levels.

Thanks for the info. I check my ph every other day and adjust as needed. I have 3 plants in this tub. 2 of one strain and 1 of another. The strain I have 2 of r both much lighter then the other strain. I also have that same strain in larger tubs that r all nice and green. I need to get a fukkin meter! Ugh. Cpl more weeks and ill dish out the cash for 1.

Oh. Another question. When adding nutes and adjusting ph levels, how long shuld I wait to take my test. Like does that shit take a lil bit to break down and evenly distribute is self through out the water so my readings r acurate?

I add them and turn the air pump back on a minute to mix it up then take readings.
