I'm having some unexplained growth issues that I'm trying to zero in on. After narrowing things down I'm now questioning if the high alkilinity of my water is causing nutrient absorption issues with my plants.
Every where I have read so far has indicated an ideal PPM for plants is around 60. I'm no expert on growing by far and would love to hear some more knowledgeable people set me straight on this. I'm experiencing slowed growth and moderate leaf twisting.
Here are the pics of my 4 gorilla glue clones in 5 gallon hempy buckets. The mix is 50/50 coco and perlite from home depot's black magic brand. I PH to 5.8-6.0. The overall plant health is good, but growth is not typical for what I have experienced in the past growing in hempy buckets. I have moved since I last grew in hempy's and am concerned that my Grand Rapids city tap water is causing me an issue. Thanks for any advice y'all can offer. I'm struggling on this one and am thinking I need an RO filter....
I am using Jack's 3-2-1 by the way. This is my first time using coco and so far am not interested in using it again. I have never experienced a severe magnesium deficiency prior to growing in coco. I had great results with all perlite hempy buckets. Maybe it's just my water though...
