Hello From Germany

[kenmastazz]

Hi,



my name is ken Im 37 years old and started growing a year ago and learned soooo much first it was for the smoke but now i really found a passion.

We have some german forums but the people here are a little grumpy ....so i deactivated my account


I really like the growing part the most but hate the drying process i guess that is the

of cannabis for me.

I started my third grow a month ago and every day Im learning new tricks and would like to explore some new territories.


I hope we can learn from one another and im looking forward for all the productive discussions!

Welcome to the farm! You’ll fit in nicely here. It’s a pretty laid back and relaxed atmosphere. Kudos!

Guten Abend Toaster,

Im on my 3rd grow at the moment but every grow i had some deficiency/lockouts Im not sure. My tap water is on the hard side with a very bad ca:mag ratio 10:1 so I used ro water this time but am struggling to keep the pH up. Im not exactly sure what im doing wrong....

My setup:
Tent: 120 x 60 x 200cm
I have a proemit sunflow bundle 300W LED(im not sure if links are allowed but google proemit they are a small company making DIY Kits and their own products like sunflow)
Biobizz All-mix + BB Nutes feed using BB schedule
AN CalMag
6L Pots

I would really like to try hydro but i like to grow different strains at the same time so im not sure if it is possible to run different strains with the same reservoir.

Yeah, I seen proemit and 700€ for 2 CXB3590 and a driver is a theft at broad daylight.

This is our tap

I also use BioBizz and have great results. The only thing I add is some epsom here and there. Ive been using all sorts of dirt from the cheapest bag I could find to compo sana and barely ever got an issue that was not related to growers error. I also never pH my feeds. Keep in mind that calmag contains pretty high levels on N so adding grow to the formula might lead to N tox. Like I said, i would try adding epsom instead of calmag and go back to tap without pH-ing.

i got a good deal on ebay :) but other than the high price it is a very good LED with bluetooth etc.

Ive been using calmag from AN and its a bad ratio for me 4-0-0 with only 1.1%Mag.
Fixing mag def with that is = N toxicity

I will definitely try a coco grow and I think I will try some hydro system next run....maybe GHE aeroflo10
If not I will be using tap water and add some epsom salt when switching to 12/12 and maybe 2 weeks later again....
