Mine is more like a "honey..(makes 2 snaps in a Z formation)"

More flamboyant than passive aggressive ❤

Only folks of a certain generation will get the joke too

Honey, I use the same line of nutrients as you do. My water is only ever a slight tinge of purple from the micro and thats it Never any sediments or settling at all everything should be dissolved if it's not dissolving somethings up idk

That's why I'm here. They're pretty commonly used. I'm gonna get a new meter.

I can’t tell if the honey’s being thrown around are passive aggressive.

Mine is... "you're probably young enough to be my kid and I want to hug you, but....

I seriously appreciate any help though

Well then, honey, we're the same age

Ok, I explained myself.

Ok, I explained myself.

I think that’s 1950ppm. Not 1195. But math ain’t my strong suit.


How long before are you mixing it before use? How long does it sit?

There are lots of different things listed on that feeding chart. Are you using all of them or just the three part?

Sounds crunchy like it crystallized to me, but I said that earlier I guess idk how do the raw nutes look themselves? Ok I assume?

Yeah I’m thinking it’s precipitating (correct word?).

Yes they do. It sounds like that because of the way i shake the bottle. There's no crystals or solid in there. I ran it through a paint strainer.

And you've been using the same ones all 38 pages of this thread? *not sarcasm

Yup. All 38 pages. Same water jug. Not that some are better than others.

This is my first grow and I am messing it up pretty good. I've made almost every mistake you can think of so far. Read on man. It's bad.

My seeds germinated fine. I transplanted them into a soil that I mixed myself with organic potting soil from home depot, pearlite, and peat. First I didn't have the lights low enough and they stretched. Moved to a few inches away from the 900w LED. Made the classic rookie mistake of overwatering. Got fungus gnats. Got rid of them using food grade Diatomaceous earth. Repotted them deeper to encourage more root growth and let medium dry out a bit. Temp is 77 with the use of a heater and RH is 60%. Running a box fan on low and a programmable humidifier. They are in a grow room that I created, which has no exhaust/ ventilation until this weekend. I'm trying to PH my water to 5.5, but it ends up at about 5.7.

My questions are: The bottom leaves are yellowing and I have very slow growth. What caused it and can I fix it? Seeds are expensive and I can't afford this chit. If it's the soil (I don't have a soil PH tester), can I change it out or is it too late for that? I'm not going to stress them out more than I have and I need to save them. I'm truly medical and can't afford to buy at the dispensary any more.
The pic I'm attaching is from a plant germ'd on 1/15, planted on 1/17. Today is 1/29. This is the only plant that is yellowing, but they all have stunted growth. Please tell me they are salvageable.

Looks like your ph is too low. Soil growers should be between 6.5 and 7.5 if I'm not mistaken.
To test soil ph you simply need to collect your runoff after watering. Then depending on your results you can adjust your ph up or down, up in your case, during your next water cycle. I bet this will solve your problem.

DEATH TO FUNGUS GNATS!

Also I would avoid adding unnecessary things. A little calmag will allow you to continue to use RO water that accompanied by your 3 base nutrients and the correction of the ph and you'll be golden. For soil I used fox farms trio, coco coir/ hydro I use general hydroponics trio. Remember sometimes less is more

Edit : Soil should be between 6 and 7
