. You folks in Uk are in limestone which provides most of it in the water supply.
Its about 50/50 prolly slightly more areas with soft water than hard water areas in UK straight from tap Trex. Its kinda North and South thing again with our water

Here`s a rough map gives you an idea although not totally accurate.

I'm soft water area and i dont use calmag unless im buffering old coco or prepping clayballs. The UK ferts aren`t too bad they kinda tailor them for whatever area your from ie: softwater or hardwater A&B.

I see , i have nothing it in my water here its less then trace amounts according to the Town water plant .

I use Remo Nutrients , as soon as calmag is dropped i go straight into defficiencies. full strenght is toxic and the plants look sick so i had to tinker a while to get a good balance.

Don't add calmag.

Your feeds should have plenty in them.
Shit ive only just seen this marcus,ive already added it ffs added it along with my normal feed and shot ec up to 2. you thinkthey willl be ok? I hope i can just leave it for this week as i used the last of my silver bullet
So long as you`ve not gone crazy with the stuff it should be ok man. Look at it like your just prepping them for a mad stretch when you flip in next week or so.

Yes im what I'd call a trace amount area up north myself man, but as said UK fert makers tend to cater for different areas or types of water here. Most the calcium carbonate in the hardwater areas is unusable by plants as is and it can make for growing difficult at times for peeps causing odd problems here and their in these areas, although its still no biggi for most.

Ahh yea , i remember now that you mention it. Uk folks talking about thst years back. I remember guiding folks on how to install R.O systems . some folks had .8ec insane hard water. Poor noobies trying to muddle through that nightmare lol

my base water once went from .15 to .38 overnight (lasted an entire grow) and my plants would never adjust 100% to anything i did . I had a 100 plant medical marijuana licenced business growing for 3-4 people in dire need , failure was not an option. i wouldnt have 100 but 30-40 plants was all I needed

They look good now. Maybe that calMag helped them?

Personally I'd up the grub a touch, if you;re flipping them next week it'll give them a good run into flip and then keep the grub high for the stretch period before dropping back down.

What's the feed schedule saying?

They look like they need a bit of greening up to me. But they'll be fine anyway.

Nice.

Following the chart you pointed me to, so atm its 1.8ml grow 1.2ml micro and 0.6 bloom. So when I up now do I up it to what the pre flowering says on the chart? Which is 2ml grow 2ml micro and 1.5ml bloom or do I slightly up it first then up it to the preflower dose when I see signs of flowering?Image
