Hello all,
Day 7 in the tent today. Still running with the same res water (55 litres) and no issues that I can spot.The plants look healthy apart from a slight yellow tinge not sure if that’s a problem at this stage. Roots on the Fat Banana are deep in the res and the diesel isn’t too far behind.
Humidity has peaked the last few days due to a heatwave but not a problem it seems in the tent. Temps in the room also climbed a touch higher than preferred. Solution temperature is doing well at 20-21c.
I have very hard tap water and ph sits around 8.5. RO has been suggested by everyone but it’s not possible on this grow.
Advanced Nutrients support staff have recommended following the instructions on the bottle for feed amounts, which I will quarter. They say that the PH Perfect product that I am using will buffer any solution between 4.0 and 8.0, I have tested this on a friends water and although it didn’t hit 5.8 it was sitting comfortably at 6.0 with a starting PH of 7.0. With mine I will need to add the PH down.
PPM: my tap water is high at 500. After 3 days of bubbling it’s down to 300. Lots of scale build up on the side of my second bucket so I’m guessing that’s mainly the calcium?
Adding 15ml of AN nutes to the standby solution today followed by a few hours bubbling and then ph down.
Let me know what you think.
