...Jimm, the A8 is made in China too...that's not necessarily a bad thing, like I said, I've seen the identical unit sold under a different brand, some body here, but don't recall who,...AH! never mind, you found something else! looks to be worth a try,... Dazed buddy thank you for waving that out there-- I knew somebody has the A8 out your way,... Dede' :thumbs: you too...
>> That supp' looks fine bro', but my best guess on that one weird symptom is a micro-nutrient metal defc., which won't be covered by the CaMg product,...something good to have on hand regardless! look around here at other UK growers and see what the have, if the Botanicare product isn't available....

Being from china wasn't the issue, it was the delivery time as it can take upto 30 days which isnt ideal especially for auto's lol but yes, I should be ok now
I ordered
Organic Molasses, Unsulphured
Westlab Epsom Salt
Plant Magic Magne Cal+ - 500ml
and the soil tester
:thank:
Molasses really is worth it's weight in gold imho.
Sorry pal,another senior moment.lol.

Hey Jimm! Well, you got the Ca Mg needs cover 3 layers deep-- LOL! ...it's nice to have them all, since there may be times when you just need the one nute',... too much of any of them can make troubles,... balance and accounting for all sources of ___, is always something to keep an eye on! So, with the epsoms you have MgSO4-- this is a salt, so over use is something to look out for; it's great because it's fast acting, especially as a foliar spray; the S is a vital nute' itself too! Used to treat defc., soil dosage is 1tsp/qt, foliar 1tsp/gal...it can be used as a regular supp' at 1/4 tsp/qt, but what with all you have, skip the salt input and go with the Ca-Mg supp, and/or molasses... Speaking of which, this has Ca, Mg, K, and a bit of Fe in it, plus the sugars-- these will make the sloi microbes happy, which in turn will make your girls happy! ---1T/gal-- ... follow directions on the Plant Magic bottle for dosage,... All this said, you shouldn't add all three, right?!... I'd treat with the Ca-Mg and some molasses (I don't think it's as conc. as the dedicated supp' is), and let that work in for a few days, see how she reacts,... ***... not sure what Go auto meant by forgetting the pH in organics,.... if you're in a true TLO soil, I think that's the case, but if just using "organic" bottle nute's, it's still something to keep an eye on,... they're just a bit less likely to cause pH imbalance vs. synthetics/salts based nutes,... no flush needed either (don't think that's what he meant anyway),... 
let us know what the soil pH reading is when you can!

Hi Waira
I got the the ph tester today, I calibrated it but i'm unsure how to use it as it has a electrode.. do I just stick it in the soil?
I tried that but it the reading didnt change.
I can only think that I need to make the soil wetter?

What do you think
Thanks
