It didn't like the Take Root - I thought I'd drowned her in a little yogurt pot. Anyway I've recently bought an ec metre and my tap water is just awful. I've been reading stuff at cocoforcannabis and there's a fair bit of learning I have to do before I've got a basic plan for my grow. Also I have to stick a RO filter in - maybe next week (should have done this ages ago).
So the MC is in Lightmix and coco and will do a basic organic feed trying to control ec and pH. The JH is getting very weak feeds around 300ppm with di water, trying to equalise feed water with phed tap water - 285ish. And try to increase ppm from there. My run off is approx 100 ppm above input water. So a go at coco may be my next plant in (20 day interval perpetual), if I can sort the water and have a very definite idea of how I'm going to go about it.

My water is so bad that I got one of these. Fitting tomorrow. I'm going to try and combine ro and tap water to give me a minimum workable quality of pH 7.5 with an ppm of <150. Ro is just too inefficient to make at 4L a plant per day so I'm going to use autopots. Though I'll be trying a Skunk in coco next week.
Been a bit tardy of late as my poor Mrs broke her elbow and I have to do everything - nevertheless I put an RO filter in ( leaks a tiny bit, will have a crack with new olives on the joints and try again ) I have a Fastberry growing and getting trained for life outside inna month - to test an area for safety. We got 3,free Fastberry seeds with 2 we bought - so there's 4 of us having a go at this plant! I lowered my lamp 20in and put it on 20% and all was going well till I turned the light up and burnt the big leaves on my Mimosa Cake, only for about 3 hours but did take a couple of days to get over, so enough messing about with lamp height - its at 30 inch above the pot and that's where it lives forever now. I checked the price of water (£3.08 per m3, ie. 3 quid for 250L of RO water) it turns out water used is the smallest part of our bill, so I have no problems using RO water. I decided as I'm going to use autopots whilst I get the stuff together I'll have a crack at hand watering coco in 16L pots and will use Megacrop on a Californian Snow and a Skunk - when they germinate. Here's some illustrations.
