Don't listen to me greenie .. 6ml of sensical... If I remember correctly..

SB is cool, Kush you'll probably get away with a warning this time.

 

[Kush T]

yeah Krypto a slap on the wrist is better than the wages docked...

Cheers mate

That was an interesting read! I actually did some more research last night and what is said in that post confirms something I read on another forum. I've been maintaining ph of 5.8 but it's been rising every day and I've been manually bringing it back down. What I've read is that the softness of the ro water stops the ph buffers in the canna nutes working and it's especially bad if you're pumping O2 in to water. So my new solution is to have a mix of ro water and tap water to get a starting ec of .4 this should help with the cal mag deficiencies and shortly eh buffers out.

You still used some sensical on top of thisdidn't you? How much did you add?

Cheers

6ml per res, why dont you just increase her feed a few points ?

your gonna have the battle using hard water nutrients with r/o water, have you tried a test res yet of mixing r/o with tap and see if the ph stableizes

No that's what I'm going to do tonight then just follow a standard canna feed schedule, see how that goes.

yeah sounds like a plan, obviously you have the options of light/normal or aggresive , i grew the think different on light to normal as i was airing on the side of caution but i think she could handle the aggresive feed schedule if you have the bottle

what ever you decide to do man i wish you all the best with your grow as you have shown true spirit in how you have stuck at it , if any 1 deserves a victory i would nominate you :thumbs:

 

[green greenie]

Cheers mate. Maybe I will go aggressive! Can always bring it down if I have to!

I'm with the one in the middle, the one on the right is showing some burn on the tips and the one in the middle looks tighted ready to expand, where the one on the right is already spaced out. JMHO!!

Once tap and RO have been mixed to give 0.2/0.3 ms/cm = mg/Ltr = ppm. As the tap water is anoxic (Zero o2) when it exits the tap, to lift Ph strong aeration is required, in addition, the tap water (Potable Water) is full of active 3-4mg/ltr Chloromine, and chloromenes, that will steralize youir root system, and any thing else it contacts post tap. You will have to add "Aquarium Tap Safe" at said dose to Stabilize the Free Chlorine, chloromenes, or 'Chelate' them, stabilize, deactivate them take em out of circulation. Once the tap water is treated for chloromines and aerated for 24-36hrs minimum, it will then stabilize its ph. Then it can be added to the RO "00" water to make up the "Buffer" content of your RO water, to you desired buffer. Then aerate the mix till 100% O2 saturation occurs, that's when ph stabilizes. Then you can add nute with no fear of ph slowly rising, due to low saturation, or BOD "Biological Oxygen Demand"........that's a fact...........AB..........water at 1-2c off root temp max yea............AB.................so when you add your nute to this, you know your ec reading is for 96% nute content, at saturation. And not 400-600ppm or 0.7ec of 'Calcium & Magnesium Carbonates, "Volatile Temporary Alkalinity", in Hard Tap Water, masking your true feed ratio.........or salt content same as.....

Test this;........get a glass of water straight from tap take ph,........wait 24hrs and retake it...........it will rise.......to O2 saturation point............as will co2..........just my 2........AB.........

this kids got an eye for detail and recognises potenial when he sees it lol

its not nute burn its just some weird colouring that sometimes happens with my plants, ive just upped her to 2.0 ec, loads of people say blueberry is a fussy eater so maybe ive over stepped the limit with this last res change
