Hi, quick post.

My nutes mix is made up in an 18 litre pot. I have used silica, small dose of cal mag, Canna coco a&b at weak dose. Anyway altogether the ppm is 700 tds and it's 1.4 ec.

1st I put in silica, then cal mag, then canna coco a, but when I put canna coco b in the whole mix goes cloudy like I've just poured a pint of milk in there. This happened twice the other day too. Totally clear until I add the coco b.

Strange this is, when I ph it to 5.8-5.9, the hole pot of nutes turns totally clear again WTF people.

Btw I know canna coco a and B already has cal mag in, but coz I was adding silica and doing a weak a and b feed I add a bit of extra cal mag.

Any ideas why this is happening. Don't say coz I'm adding coco b. lol

Silica does this. I think there is an order in which you should add the nutes and that shit. I think you add the silica 1st... someone else might chime in... but you can search for it...

Ok thanks. It has only happened when using silica. I do add that 1st and I mix it with a jug until it's thoroughly mixed up.
