Morning @Shaded_One! Thanks for adding that! Now I’ve got to quit sitting on the porch sampling my wares and go to worrrrrrkkkkkk. Happy day to ya!
sounds like a nice way to start your day though. I have to wait until lunch to sneak home..
I’d water them properly a couple of times prior to pushing them into the race of their lives
Nobody wants to start a race with a bum foot. Give them the best, they do the rest Ok sounds good. I’ll plan on next Sunday for the transition. Will give them at least a couple good waterings between now and then. What a roller coaster of emotions this is lolI’d water them properly a couple of times prior to pushing them into the race of their lives
I forgot to mention I did give the plants some “super Cali growth shot” that came with my kit. That was about a month ago now though. I use well water that is filtered to reduce hardness. PH is 6.3 or so. I will head to the store and get some supplements to add during next watering. Any particular brand or type of supplement I should be looking for?

Damn I should have thought about getting water checked. I was only concerned with the PHI think the first step would be getting your well water tested so you know what you're working with. AFAIK most people who use well water dilute it with 50% RO. There are plenty of methods of getting Calcium and Magnesium and it varies from grow style to grow style. Just do a quick search on your grow style and see what other people use

I might just go to store and buy bunch of distilled water for now, mix it with some Cal Mag supplements until I can get my well water checked again. SO MANY THINGS I NEVER CONSIDERED lol learning is hard and fun

Thank you very much. I got it tested when I first bought the house. Can’t find report or remember what dude said. I add sodium carbonate to my water via this system. I’ll definitely be calling tomorrow to see if they still have report on file. I appreciate the advice! I’ll be doing some more studying tonight that’s for sure
Lots of good advice that’s for sure. Love it. My babies already looking better. I cut light back to 75% and raised lights way almost 3 ft from canopy. Working on making home CalMag supplements to feed them next watering. Won’t go back to 100% until time to flower. Can’t wait!!!
thats too old of a report, i would say you need a new report as water perameteres change.
That’s a fact! My well water fluctuates wildly from one rain to another. On the reg phing out at 7.2 but running as high as 9 after a heavy rain. This well is 478 feet deep, spring fed, and yet the values seriously change from day to day depending on conditions. Even tho I grow organically and most say that controlling the ph is not necessary, I always do. I have had results in the past that warrant that.
indeed, well water is not monitized and the fluctuations can vary. you know, i've tried many different style of growing but not organiclly. lol!
This makes a lot of sense. I’m bringing in two water samples to get tested this afternoon. One sample straight from the well and another after it goes through my water treatment set up. (Adding soda ash for PH and extra filter for Iron). I will use distilled water in the mean time. I bought some products at my local co op I felt might help me the rest of the way. A few people mentioned my plants seemed to suffer from Caclium deficiency, this fox farm fertilizer was only thing I saw that had Calcium in it. Thanks so much. Y’all are life savers.
I like the nice clean taste. After cure it just gets no better. A long slow cool draw allows for those terps to come full force. I’m all about the taste. Oh, and I also like not chocking to death on a hit
