Hey, I use regular tap water but the tap water here in Melbourne is very good as far as I'm aware but it has been smelling more chlorine like lately. Yeah it's changing inside the container which it never did the last grow I did so I was wondering what's going on. Obviously it's something I can...

Hi again Warble! I was actually wondering how long to veg for, I'm at week 5 now I think, was thinking doing 6 weeks, is that about how long you veg for or do you go longer? You use 15litre per plant?! I'm only feeding 5 litres in a 5 gallon with heaps of runoff. What size pots? Am I feeding too...

Wow 6 to 8 is crazy. That would have been a big problem for sure. I just use tap water, I didn't actually think of that because I've always been told to make sure it's between 5.8 & 6.2 but that's a good point different nutrients are absorbed better at different pH. I've started making them up...

Hi all, Hope everyone had a great Christmas. I really need help figuring out why the pH in my nutrient solution to go up over night by 3 to 4 points over night? Everything I'm seeing online only explains pH going down due to organic materials or temperature ect. Nothing about how or why it could...

Hey :) that could be a good idea actually. I did test the runoff, I lowered to 850ppm and it came out as 1000. I also realised my light was way too close, oopsy

I though that too. Yeah it actually is for coco. It's called bio diesel. It's even got a Coco chart that I'm following, they make it here where I am. The bio diesel range doesn't seem to be too good for autos tho. So still no explanation for these brown weird spots on the tips, still getting...

I put 850 ppm in and 1000 came out, is that too high?

Hey there, yes feeding with at least 15% runoff. I fed 4 litres but didn't get any runoff because I missed a feed yesterday, oops. Stupid Christmas, everything gets too crazy. I'm going to make some nutes up now to feed her in the morning to see what it comes out as. Hopefully it's not too high...

Ahh I see, so use the 900/1.8 through the pot then test the runoff, if it's over 0.3 higher then I need to rinse it with 1.0 then feed regular and test it again in a few days to see if it's over again. This bloody heat has really made it hard, the pests are crazy at the moment too.Thanks heaps...

Thankyou for your reply. I was actually just thinking that the ec might be too high, I only just threw the runoff out so I'll have to test it tomorrow. Would you happen to know what ec it should be at? If it's over do I flush with crystal clear then start with lower ec? Yeah its been getting a...

Thankyou for your reply. Is 900 alot in week 4? The chart goes up to 1400 in week 6 of veg then the change to flower in week 7. The chart for week 4 is actually 850 ppm recommend but it's up to 900 with the extra calmag I'm putting in. That's what the chart says anyway. I got the full bio diesel...

Hey all, just wondering if anyone knows if this is calcium deficiency or something else because it looks like calcium deficiency but I give plenty of calmag & every additive bio diesel make so Im not sure it could be at this point. pH going in is definitely fine. Pretty sure she's 4 weeks into...

Sorry for late reply I got a bad toothache after having a bloody Milky way, some pain & $400 later my tooth should be fixed. Most expensive Milky way ever lol. Haven't had any tip burn or cupping so far which is good, I sort of expected to see it but hasn't happened yet. It's so hard to tell how...

I've bumped up the light like you said back to 60%. How long would you recommend I wait to bump it to 75% or should I just give it a go as soon as she wakes up? I did 850 ppm today so hopefully that goes well. She seems to be picking up since I upped the nutes but the new growth at the bottom of...

I thought spidermites too but haven't seen any real sign of them, although sometimes you don't then all of a sudden they are everywhere. I do have a bad bug problem outside at the moment with the weather so wouldn't surprise me at all. Thinking of doing a Neem oil spray just incase. I didn't...
