Hi mate, You need to look into that, we have soft water here, my mate bought the hard water nutes and it wiped his whole crop out, i can't remember the exact reason for it, i think it maybe something with crazy ph fluctuations. I'm sure you are using soft water nutes, most nutes, label it when it's hard water.

Hard and Soft WaterPure water has a pH of 7 (neutral). Most peoples water supply however is not pure and is often referred to as HARD or SOFT water. Hard water has a higher pH and is therefore more alkaline while soft water has a lower pH so is more acid. Nutrients aimed at cannabis often come in HARD or SOFT water mixes to compensate for these regional differences. Choosing the right type of nutrient to start with will ensure fewer potential problems later on. Don't be tempted to use water softeners as they can add too much sodium to the water.

Have a read of this mate. Just found it.

Hi sensi, I have checked the Label and it doesn't say anything about hw or what it's water directions are. It just says 1part to 250. I have a nice new sprayer so I will drizzle some tumble dryer filter (distilled) water I phd at 6 and put some rhizo in it. Should I spray it a tad on the soil clonex?
Use 1/2 of what it says on bottle , i would have to go and look dont know off the top of my head , you can mist rhizotonic onto your plants or into your soil , do both , it wont hurt , just really make sure its not to strong...

Clonex, you are correct it says you can use straight on to plants. Apparently terra vega is very good for a nitrogen boost aswell. The list is endless! Always something else i need to buy

Flora is flower, vega is veg id assume. I think it might be worth the tenner?! It says it gives a nice intake of nitrogen. I dunno what the hell I've done wrong for itmto even get like this. Two are fine. The others are annoying me

Have you noticed the perlite and guano swell ;) I do listen, just hope it works
Yeah man i noticed the additives , keep firm umbre they will be ok , they are just stressed and shocked , the roots will be working away , when is the next watering due , when you do give them a feed , very weak though , use the terra vega if you got some , otherwise use the A+B stuff , i will show you mine later after switch on , you have to realise tho as i have a little more experience than you so i noticed my issue sooner so they aint taking so long , but im running same as you with the Rhizotonic and genral hydroponics nutes .....

I dont have terra vega yet but I did make some co2 bottles and I'm getting some Epsom salt tomorrow for a few days time just incase it needs some magnesium as well? I will feed small dose of canna a and b tomorrow and I'll keep spraying the leaves with rhino twice a day for a couple more days and see what happens...

Today's update: everything is fucked on those 2 plantar. New lush green from bottom has come to surface as older leaves have died.... I looked in the tent today and the new bottom green has gone from dark green to yellow in 12hrs. They are dying, I need to do something because the longer I wait ... The worse it will get. :(

Just got some Epsom salts... I'm going to mix 1 TEA not tablespoon to current mix of rhizo and canna a and b, it can't be a nitrogen deficiency as they have continued to get worse.... Moving forward with magnesium for now I suppose.

Hey bro, not sure but ever since the first pix I wondered why they were so close to the exhaust port. After everything, my opinion, I would move them away if u can or move the flex higher. The air flow may be messin with em??????
