Update

Its been a hell of a week. Temperature and humidity to the extreme out there. ive not even been checking temps of late, its just a reminder I've got no hope if sorting it. RH has been in the 90's, only way to combat that is a dehumidifier that adds more heat. Its a nightmare. Luckily hhis freak weather we having us at a end and I can salvage what I can.

It was just the wrong time to have the heat, they were not established enough to fight ot off. That bring said I lost 2 but germinated 2 extra snd they are now getting into their stride.

I've upped feed to 0.4ml can coco a and b and set PH to 5.8. They were previously getting 0.25ml a and b. Im so used to growing from clones I forgot how fragile these seedlings are.

Lights are on 18/6, 400w dual speac hps, ill be changing over to metal halide.

Ill update again once they have got roots out the bottoms of the pots.

You love starving plants do you lot on here, man 1ml per liter i think is still only around 0.5 - 0.6ec of those ferts mate. Best check it firstly though, but i`m pretty god dam sure 2ml a liter is around 1 to 1.2ec of Canna AnB

My backgriund is 0.7 to 0.8. 0.5ml a and b gets me to around 0.9-1.0 ec. All of my growes have been a maximum of 1.4ml per liter and thats a heavy feed. Mosgt are happy around 1.25ml per liter.

1ml/L of Canna A+B in RO water is 0.45 on a calibrated EC meter.
2ml/L is 0.9 EC.

(IIRC, I have it written down somewhere from when I tested it)

Nice one Marcus i knew i was their abouts.

But you just ignore your background EC and work with your fert EC, ok you may need to flush mid bloom cus your shitty carbonated water + fert ec on top is prolly gonna cause build up over time, but yes just add a fert EC of 0.5 or 1ml per liter to those plants as is now and jobs a good en, your really underfeeding by alot. You could always go the mls per ltr route and ignore instruments with a flush mid bloom, go with 0.5ml first 2 weeks above ground , then 1ml for 2 weeks then 2ml till you flip , 2.5ml for 3 or 4 weeks before dropping back to 2ml a ltr rest of grow. No sweat mate.

Surely you get underfeeding symptoms a week or two into bloom for sure running with 1.25ml a liter only, which is gonna be like a true ec of 0.6`ish per liter only ?

nice roots on those

Has this gone tits up @Keeno ?

Has this gone tits up @Keeno ?

had to pack down @2-Scoops but I've got 1 of each tucked up at a mates. Soon as I'm moved house ill fire them up and clone from the mums.

hi keeno like 2scoops says id try upping your ferts and ignore your waters high background as its mostly crap and not usable foodstuff for a growing weed plant.
and id bet you do very much better,hardwater is high in calcium carbonate this is true, but the particle size is not suited to direct use by the plant.(esp in coco with no microlife) and ive seen many growers doing the same,i did too till some kind person explained and told me just ignore bg reading and fert to 1.9 total ec inc bg means a usable 1.2 ec for the plant. then i did much better!
also i find nutes made for use in hardwater areas makes life easier i use dutch pro for hard water but theres many others,good luck when you get back to growing,peace
