I wish I had the money for a press!

Cheers man! It seems to be happening fairly evenly. The foxtails seem to be fattening up too so I’ll just see how she fairs. Thanks for the input

Hey all, I’m growing Sensi PPP in NFT week 7 of 12/12. I’ve had a few heat issues in the last couple of weeks with height restrictions and lamp (hps 400w) height. got some bad taco leaves on top colas and then past week I’ve been seeing wicked foxtails. Is this a strain thing or likely heat...

Uk #424 Cheers guys

Just an update, Turns out my ph meter is on the fritz! my ph was reading 5.6 to 6.2 and being adjusted back down. Recalibrated my ph pen and tried again it was showing 6.0 before calibration and 5.0 after!! That’s quite a way out. I had only calibrated the damn thing at the start of this run...

Yeah that’d do short term, I can get deionised from Halfords locally. Good thinking man!

I didn’t explain very well, tap water is 300ppm topped up to 400ppm with canna line nutes.

@Larry3215 The problem has moved up to the next set of leaves so I’ve lowered the ec to see if it slows down. You are right, diagnosing deficiencies is a nightmare. Everything is dialled as far as I can with what I’ve got to hand. It’s frustrating, never had these kinds of issues in the past...

Remembered I had an EC meter too. 0.7 shouldn’t be enough to cause these problems right? They should be eating it up.

Also to add, acids like lemon and vinegar are usually for solid deposits of calcium and I don’t think it would dissolve it in a solution. As far as I can tell the calcium needs actually removing from the water like in the 3 examples from your post.

@go go kid Thanks for the reply, any info is welcome. I've read about vinegar and lemon juice but I think the quantities needed have to much of an effect on ph. I will be getting an RO filter but funds are a tight because ... well, COVID! Thanks again

I know that the calcium is 92mg/l as it states on the water board website, as for other mineral composition I’m really not sure. So the best option is buy specialised nutrients? Hopefully I can get some before too much damage is done Thanks for the reply’s @Renfro and @Larry3215

Sorry for the multiple pics, I’m old.

I’ve recently moved house and started my first grow in the new place. I always used tap water in the old house for DWC and NFT but the hardness if the water in my new place is causing problems. I’m pretty sure I’m getting lockout from the huge amount of calcium in the water. Is there any way to...
