Tap water all depends on where you are, and your supplier.
Being as you show England, IDK, but here in the states, many people use tap water.
You could always contact your water company, and see if you can get an analysis of your water.
Me, if I don't pay for bottled water to drink, I'm sure not gonna pay for water for my plants to drink.

Yeah I see what your saying its just that I dont want to give them tap water if it's likely to be too high in ph. I will just have to wait for the ph kit to come and hopefully that will be soonTap water all depends on where you are, and your supplier.

Ya, you're kinda stuck at the moment, unless you want to go to a pet store, and get a PH test kit for aquariums, and test your water.Yeah I see what your saying its just that I dont want to give them tap water if it's likely to be too high in ph. I will just have to wait for the ph kit to come and hopefully that will be soon
That's what I do when I'm curious, or the season changes, because I notice some fluctuation in my PH with diff. seasons, but I also notice the PH will drop about .7 from time out of tap, to the following day when I pour from bucket into jugs.
My tap always comes out at least 7.9.

I was always told stem color was mag related. So whenever I see it on a strain I add epsom. And it goes away. If I start to see it on newer growth. I increase the epsom I'm adding each time. Always seems to work. My chunky Cheeses have perfectly lush stems since the stretch. I say since the stretch because there's so much vegetation in veg. They took on very sativa leaning trait in this case for flower and stretched like 3-6in between nodes. But it was all super healthy growth.

at the risk of sounding like a broken record, you need to give her a stronger nutrient solution whilst watering less, do you understand?
give her more nutes, she will go green, simple!

Hi.. I'm sorry to sound so dumb but how do I give her more nutes with less water? I need as much help as I can possibly get as getting desperate now.
That plant looks beautiful... Good job

I don't remember if you said you're only feeding half strength or what, but increase that gradually.
Did you find out what your PH is yet? Or is that a diff. thread I'm thinking of?

Yes Ive only been feeding them a quarter of the strength so will up it but Ive just re potted them in to biobiz all mix so didn't want to give them any nutes just yet as someone said that biobiz is full of nutes... Is that correct?
I have not found out my PH yet as I am waiting for the kit t come through the post.

By the same token, LGC and I don't want you to overfeed in the event your PH is way too high and nutes are there, but your plant is unable to access them.
GET YOUR PH CHECKED!

OK thanks bro... As sooon as I get the ph kit will let you know what it is and hopefully will be able to move forward from here lol.
Will put some more photos on tomorrow as well to see if people can see an improvement as I think I can but is hard to tell as I look at them every day.

5.5-6.2
5.8 being your target PH.
In coco I always go full strength after 3rd set of true leaves. They suck it up and explode. No nute burn. But I use Lucas (H3ad) method. Which isn't exactly overpowering.
