Jerkin,
Now you right up my alley. I have 7.5 tap water with 350-375 ppm . Personally I use cal-mag the help the plants as hard water seems to limit the natural uptake and cal-mag gives it to the plants chelated (sort of like partially digested or in smaller bits the plants roots can absorb.). I'd at least have it handy if problems arise. Maybe try to 1/2 dose it and see what happens.
I did the water hauling for awhile but decided to take it easy on myself and try tap water 15' away from the grow room and adjust as needed. I also use GH flora series nutes with hard water micro with good success.
am i doing it right my plants are on the second week of flowering?
1. remove plant from bucket
2. empty old water
3. PH the new water starting at 7, and ph it to around 5.5 to 6.
4. add nutes
ive been using botanicare products at half dose into the 2nd week of flowering while using 3 gal bucket stealth bubblers:
problend bloom 45 ml
-mix-
sweet 12 ml
-mix-
liquid karma 15 ml
-mix-
cal mag 15 ml
-mix-
hygrozime 15 ml
-mix-
nitrozyme 12 ml
-mix-
5. regulate the ph to back at 6
-------------------------------------
this above all works but when i check my ppm.... it is up at 1900ppm for my nutes being at half strength... so i empty out half of the water and replace it lowering the ppm down to around 1300 is this right? ....then rePH to 6..
by this time im like this... I FEEL LIKE I JUST POURED ALL THE GOOD NUTES OUT.... maybe i should be doing 1/3 or something
am i doing it right? or should i be going full strength??
