Well this is thenfucked part. I have to use this ro system built into my sink but ph is like 5.5. It’s weird. Ppm of like 30 though.PH up? How acidic is the water before you ph up?
I’m going to go water straight at 40ppm for like 5 days.Sorry to spam you but got some old grow pics View attachment 1167142
your leaves remind me of this one I did which had a touch of heat stress on the leaves, think you got heat stress mixed with a cal mag overdose, if you flushed you should be fine tho

This. The white stuff on your leaves is likely the calcium carbonate (lime) in your pH Up and may be causing localized nutrient issues.PH up? How acidic is the water before you ph up?

Yeah man I’m on harddd well water. And it’s a tank system. Without it my water is like 990ppm. I can only get 5 gallons of water about 3 times a day. It’s a bit older I’m assuming.Do you have any beneficial microbes to put in that soil?
Don’t just use plain water at that rate. Bring your ppm to ~125 with your CalMag, then check the ph. Always add CalMag to your RO first (unless using silica, which should always be diluted first), then begin mixing your other nutrients, let it sit for a few minutes, stir and check/adjust ph.
RO can be a tricky bitch. Is yours a tank system or a filter? Is it a newer system? Are you on a well or city water?
Oh shit. I didn’t think of that.This. The white stuff on your leaves is likely the calcium carbonate (lime) in your pH Up and may be causing localized nutrient issues.
What’s the perfect ph??Do you have any beneficial microbes to put in that soil?

It’s needs to vary to intake all nutrients, for this reason I stopped ph’ing. If you’re meter is even a slight bit off you’re gonna be overdoing it anyway. I found I did more harm than good when I tried to ph my stuffWhat’s the perfect ph??

Are you sure your water is "hard" (calcium and magnesium)? I've done a lot of consulting with farms around N. America and I've never seen well water over 300ppm unless it's iron and other heavy metals which is typically associated with acidic groundwater. TDS readings measure all salts and don't necessarily mean the water is hard.Yeah man I’m on harddd well water. And it’s a tank system. Without it my water is like 990ppm. I can only get 5 gallons of water about 3 times a day
Wow!!! That’s crazy hard. Have you ever had it analyzed for mineral content just to see what’s up?Yeah man I’m on harddd well water. And it’s a tank system. Without it my water is like 990ppm. I can only get 5 gallons of water about 3 times a day. It’s a bit older I’m assuming.
It’s good to use a range of ph’s depending on your medium and stage of growth.What’s the perfect ph??
It’s around 5.8. Even though it’s ro water. My system is kind of old.PH up? How acidic is the water before you ph up?
Most RO is between 6.5 and 7.0. That's unusual.It’s around 5.8. Even though it’s ro water. My system is kind of old.
Yellowish top growth with skinny leaves. They just don’t look good. They are definitely stunted. Not sure if I over fertilized or ph issues. Maybe too much cal mag? The white spots are from the ph up Nectar for the gods I used when I foliar sprayed nitrogen. (Prob didn’t need it) any help ? Thanks
you ever figure this out. Im dealing with same thing and I think It may be too much cal/mag. I know you were thinking may be a possibility. How did they turn out?Yellowish top growth with skinny leaves. They just don’t look good. They are definitely stunted. Not sure if I over fertilized or ph issues. Maybe too much cal mag?

could be your light..you ever figure this out. Im dealing with same thing and I think It may be too much cal/mag. I know you were thinking may be a possibility. How did they turn out?
