i've run both the bags and tanks i believe the tanks are better but very hard to get where i'm at now so i tried the bags and did see better results with the bags than with out,just having a problen with leaves turning to yellow and brown thought maybe it was co2 i use only fox farm food and have never encountered this problem before

You're not getting too much Co2 with those worthless bags. Don't waste your money on them.

i believe my problem is a cal-mag issue i've sort of got a handle on this but now i'm 4 weeks into flower and it's starting again. Not sure if i should up my cal-mag or what got treally nice size flower already just don't want to put to much cal-mag in water, right now using 1 teaspoon per gallon of water can i use more cal-mag? and i'm making sure my ph level is around 6.0-6.2 would love some help with this problem

Give some details and a couple pics, we'll try work it out.

- Nutrient line up (tsp/gl)
- Lighting
- what the water EC/ppm is before adding nutrients
- EC/ppm of water with the nutrients in it
- Growing medium
- PH

dr. smoke i'm running fox farm nutes with co2 enrichment i have 2 1000w hps planted in fox farm ocean forest soil. not sure what you mean by the water ec/ppm is, everything looks good except the burning of leaves i think i'm going to cut back on nutes a little,might be a little to heavy on my feeding just don't want to fuck them up. 4 weeks into flower they are getting big and smell great

EC/ppm is the feed strength measurement.

how weak or strong your nutrient mix is being mixed.

Unless your using RO water, LEDs or Coco then you shouldn't have to add any Calmag.

Sounds like it may be potassium deficiency. Post up some photos so we can get a better idea. If it is a potassium def you'll probably make it worse if you dial the nutrients back.

Make sure your EC is around the 1.6 to 1.9 range and PH is between 6.5 to 7.

Let's us know how you get on.

If you're using RO Water, LEDs and Coco (like me) you would simply increase your base nutrients to compensate for any mag/cal deficiency. :)

I run my co2 1200 PPMs with great results, have tried 1000, 1500 & 2000. 1200 is the sweet spot for my setup.

pH is dependant on nutrients and grow media being used. Some nutrients will say 5.8-6.2 pH some will say 5.5-6.2 some will say 5.8-6.5 that should be something you follow directions on and in coco you would never run a pH above 6.4 that I can think of.

I've not tried it myself, but i've seen good results from bags filled with 50:50 baking soda and citric acid. If i would ever use co2 supplement it would be this way because it's very cheap, other things seem too expensive. Try it!

Plants are converting co2 into glucose. Plants can uptake glucose. Why not save it some energy? You internet guys get played so hard with all the gimmick shit.
