    TDS Calibration woes ...

    The solution is Hanna 1500ppm HI 70442 and I found a thread where someone posted..."1500 {HI 70442} is used for calibration at .7 conversion factor." Do you think my pen is correctly calibrated? - thanks

    Flushing

    If you are going to flush your plants (mine are handwatered in rockwool) to clear up a ph problem or nute deficiency... do you flush with plain ol' ph'd water or do you flush with ph'd nutrient solution? - thanks

    dark brown spots on lower curled leaves

    i just fed her @ 1/2 strength yesterday - could this just be an all around nute deficency? should i just stick with the plan and use the Lucas formula @1/2 str for now and hope that everything balances out or do I need to add something to the mix? - thanks bunches

    dark brown spots on lower curled leaves

    Im going to re-do the math. Lucas says his formula would put ppms at 800-1200. So, if the avg. ppm of tap water is 140-400 we could determing that for each ML/2ML of Micro/Bloom is equal to approx. 100ppm. So if I do 1/4 str. which puts my ratio at 1.25/2.5ml then my ppm range would be...

    dark brown spots on lower curled leaves

    I am using the 1 to 2 part Lucas Formula with GH Flora Micro/Bloom and was feeding 1/4th str which puts my ppm between 140-188 depending on starting ppm (i think, my math isn't what it used to be) Yesterday they turned 2 (weeks veg) and I upped the nutes to 1/2 str. which would put them close to...

    dark brown spots on lower curled leaves

    Thank you, we agree that it needs more phosphorous... now since Im using the Lucas formula w/GH nutes does that mean add extra bloom? or does it mean I need to go out and buy another phosphorous specific product? OR? - this is my first grow, im learning, thanks for your patience!

    dark brown spots on lower curled leaves

    I am also wondering if the spots being on just two of the plants which happen to be the only two of that strain... is it a picky strain or something involving nutes.
