Hello everyone. Starting a new thread as using new dutch pro autoflower nutes.

75 * 75 * 200 cm tent
250w growlux dual spectrum hps
4 * 23w cfls as side lighting off which one is a reptile UB10 bulb. The others I change from blue to red as plants grow.
Tent is shared with 2 other plants of various stages.
Biobizz light mix soil
6 litre airpot
Dutch pro autoflower nutes for soil. I ordered hard water version but bottles do not state if this is the case.
Dutch pro Multi Total, Take Root, Explode
I have a bottle of Shogun Cal mag if needed.
Also bought myself a Cheap PH pen and PH up and Down solution.

Seed broke soil on 30/12/14 (Day 1)

On all my other grows I have used biobizz nutes but kept getting cal mag probs. Might have been pH probs as could not read pH accurately and water hear is terrible. Hence new nute range and bottled water. Have read that the autoflower version may just be watered down normal....... Also bit worried that bottles do not state if hard or soft version even though I ordered for hard water.

Everything going smoothly. Plant looks healthy. No burnt tips.

Doing AU and dutch pro autoflower too, but hydro. Subb'ed up.

If your water is that bad, you could very well spend little cash on a small cheap RO unit to filter it out. That will be cheaper in the long run than bottled water and lugging all that weight. come end of flowering. Just need to add a small dose of cal mag to buffer it before adding nutes, though just using soil also works wonders. Your problems was very likely due to excess hard water (crappy cal mag and other minerals) and soil together. I doubt it was lack of them, but excess burn/lockout. Add a dubious pH to the mix and its almost certain.

Hi. Thanks for your reply. I think you're probably correct on all counts. Got myself a pH pen now and some cal mag just in case. Thought if I use bottled water for this grow and if all goes well will go back to tap water. Will have a look at your grow. I normally have three plants growing in my tent all about 4 weeks apart so I can harvest monthly. Unfortunately this does mean they don't grow to full potential. Just planted a dp auto euforia. Might do a journal for that as well.

Week 3 - Day 21

17cm Tall

3rd watering. 500ml including 1ml Grow A, 1ml Grow B, 0.5ml Take Root.

Seems to have drank the last watering quite quickly. Plant coming along nicely. Nice colour, No burnt tips, No purple stems.

Compared to my biobizz nutes this plant seems to be bushier and so far alot healthier.

This feed was PH 5.74

Next feed will include some multi total and will increase Grow strength. Also will feed with a higher Ph.

Week 4 - Day 23

Watered 500ml containing 1.2Grow A & B, 1ml Multi Total, 0.5ml Take Root. Nutrient ph 6.02

21 cm Tall

Increased grow strength slightly and gave dose of mult total. Raised ph slightly.

Slight purple on couple of stems. Could be due to low temps.
