Help First Time with CFL

That bottled water has crazy high ppm. Thats basically hard water. Molasses has lots of magnesium, calcium, iron, etc so i use plain reverse osmosis for all my watering and for making teas. That way you have a consistent base that you can build up and rarely have to worry about pH or TDS.

Am using the the Bottled Water only by itself, not mixed and tap water with molasses.... and also i have a question,.,,. Say i have water with pH of 7.0 and adding fertilizer will it lower the pH or go up?

Am using MG Cactus 2-7-7, KGro Bloom Booster 10-52-10 , Molasses and Epson Salt.... not all together just giving you guys an idea,.

Any know why my plants are not stretching like others? Its been 23days sinces preflower....and its growing but not like i thought ppl say it grow 3 times the size and i dont see any sugars just hell of alot for thick ass hairs
 
Its all in the genetics man. It will happen. Stresses can delay things too. Just do what you can to make her as happy as possible and she will eventually catch up.

okey i flush the damn plant again now with 3 gallons of 7.0PH water and feed it 1/4tsp of Molasses(Cal 8%, Mg 8% and Fe 2% in 1 Quart of water. Am if this does not fix it my buddy told my its was Nitrogen def. cause all my ferts have extremely low Nitrogen .. i use 2-7-7,,, and he say i need 5-7-7 for now till last 4 weeks for flowering. So ill see i dont want feed it alot of Nitrogen and get dark ass leaves and low yield but then again i dont have a pH meter still to tell if thats just the problem. that is why i was asking if ferts lower or higher pH and no one has gave me an answer??

so i got a pH meter today and i have no pH problem cause my Tap Water is 7.8. So 1 Gallon of 7.8pH Tap water + 1Tsp of Epsom Salt + 1/4 Tsp Blooming Fert = 6.2-6.4pH that perfert for soil right...?? I was using botte water and i guess after i add all the ferts it made the pH go down to 5.0-5.5 thats too low. So am seeing an improvement in my plant since i gave it Epsom Salt....i was just lacking Mg. What happened was when i bought the ferts, when reading the back of the ferts i mistakenly read Manganese for Mg. So nest grow ill be way better and getting ferts. made for growing Weed.
