New Grower Auto AK - Day 10

Thanks Cat.

Anyone else have any feedback? Don`t want to overdose with cal/mag and don`t want to underfeed either.

Good Morning Folks!

Here is AK at day 14. Slight yellowing of bottom leaves. Not sure what that is from. She was transplanted Monday.

Anyone know why her bottom leaves are like this?

Thoughts and feedback is appreciated and needed. Hoping this grow is better than last 3.

They look good bro, dont worry abou them. They dont look as they have any cal or mg deficiencies.
Im usually give to mine a half dose of calmag after transplanting just in case.
Its yellowing is normal after transplanting, if its not stopping give'em a bit N shot, but not now.
Btw, r u useing tap water?
 
Thanks for responding BudsLover. I am using distilled water only as that is what I was told to use. My tap water has a high ph, but again I am being told to give her that type of water.

There appears to be no more yellowing at the moment.

What's everyone's opinion on using distilled water? I have been researching and it's a coin toss on using distilled vs tap. Distilled has a ph of around 7.0 vs tap at 9.0 at least in my neck of the woods.

Hey @Jackson I got a 200 litre water butt which I connected to my guttering and with the amount it rains in England I have an unlimited supply of fresh free water that normally is around ph 6. Get some buckets out next time it rains Haha. Peace

My tap water has a Ph 8.0 in the uk. The EC reading is 0.6, which is very high and leaves little room for adding too many nutes. However, I do use the tap water and add about 1ml of 'Ph Down' to lower it to 5.8 - 6.2 (for coco), which seems to work well. I wouldn't want to pay out additional money for water and when I researched using distilled, I didn't think it would make much difference for the money I would spend. I considered buying RO water in bulk, but again, it is more than I wish to spend. Once I get a couple of harvests, I might consider installing an RO water filter. They're reasonably cheap and the worst cost would be paying someone to plumb it in

Destilled is better bro... The tap water has some components which we dont need and im not sure its good for plants it can mess with them.
But im useing tap water with AN its works as well. But i dont advice it for any other kind of fertilizer.

What's AN?
 
Advanced Nutrients, i really love it because it has ph perfect technology so you dont need to mess with ph. U can use your tap water simply in their range. And u can find very good feeding shedules (easy,expert as well) for autos here from master @TaNg
Its a bit expensive but its profitable i think!

Thanks All

Distilled water costs me $1.00 in Texas so unless some of you seasoned growers tell me otherwise that's what I will use. I also am using general organic nutes and was told by the grow shop folks that when using distilled water, no ph checks are needed. But I can tell you from experience that that doesn't hold true when using Fox Farm soil. Never will I use that again.

Thanks to all of you for joining my journey and for providing your expertise and feedback
