Sweet as can I just use veg liquid ferts? Should I start with 1/4 the strength or go straight into full nutrients. Im just gonna use what ive got in the shed which is nitrosoil.They just need to be fed, looks like a bit of calcium deficiency as well. You said you weren't feeding them, and they have no cots so no way to feed themselves; the cheap crap you're growing in probably has slow release pellets that don't provide enough nutrients to keep the plant fed.You shouldn't need to let bottled water sit for 24 hours. It shouldn't have any chlorine in it anyway.
Look for flairform cmx, it's like calmag but it supplements all micro elements as well as calmag and iron and here in auckland where the tap water is only 55 ppm, you'll need to supplement calcium and magnesium.
You might want to consider growing in coco. It's alot faster than soil and alot easier. Grab a bag of coco ($26) and a bag of perlite, then grab nutrifield or canna coco a&b ($36). I've never burnt my plants using nutrifield a&b and i feed every watering and have perfectly green plants following the directions on the bottle (less when they're younger)
It's a bit of an investment but you'll be happy with the ease of growing. Most potting mixes sold here in NZ come with fertilizers so being in full control of nutrients is another bonus with coco. I use the same coco and perlite for 3 grows before changing with no problems, all it is is ground up coconut husk, no mess.
Yeah this shit is honestly cheap as shit and it looks like it has slow release ferts in it so Im guessing that's why ive got problems.
And you mean this stuff right? http://www.easygrow.co.nz/nutrient-additive/746-flairform-cmx-1l.html
Also would a foiler feed of this work if I cant get the other stuff? http://www.easygrow.co.nz/soil-nutrients/170-yates-dolomite-lime-3kg.html
Algood I will defiantly consider the coco idea itd be much better for starting my plants of until they get put outsid and Im happy to invest. Are you doing any outdoors this coming season?
Also were can I get something to test my ph and ph up and down solution or what would you recommend?
Cheers for the help mate
