Just a struggling newbie...unsure of problem.

What's wrong with your regular water? Do you know the ppm? And does it leave Ca deposits?

I don't know alot about my city water, other than its usually approximately 200 ppm, i test it at 7.0 most of the time. I know its a bit hard, so there probably is a healthy amount of calcium in it, but I have no idea on concentrations. It leaves deposits on taps etc., I know its hard at the least.

You might be able to find a water report on the Internet if you're on city water.

Ok, i'll try to search on internet.
Found it. Total hardness rated at 200 mg/L and is primarily Calcium.
Yes, my water should be fine. Even helpful to be 7.0 or even a bit higher at times perhaps.

I went back to your 1st post. It sounds like those plants were stunted before you put them into the sips? You went from a solo cup to 1 gallon when you started in November? If I'm correct, I'm going to say the plants are going to need some time to recover.How long have they been in the sips? Were they always light green? Underfed before transplant? I have higher ph and have zero problems running coots as well, no cook time. Are you reusing your soil? If not, stop feeding the 444, the coots is plenty for nutrients, that's the beauty of it.

They went into the SIPs on February 26th. They were light but some of the foliage looked like this. But, also discovered I had thrips. Don't know how long I had them, didn't know what to look for. I'm not reusing my soil as I plan on using it in outdoor vegetable garden. So, if I have overfed, then what can I do to lower that, like a flush would do.

Those pics look like they want more K. I might have already said that though. My brain is a little foggy,

Sorry, was too tired last night. So, if they are K deficient, are they actually deficient, or just locked out. When looking at a soil ph chart, P, and Ca seem to be locked out before K, at the 6.0 ph I have.

Hard to say. Too much Ca or Mg will lockout K also. Check out Mulder's Chart.

That Mulders chart doesn't make sense to me. Not sure how to read it.

I've never seen this show, but I think of this every time I see a Mulder's chart.

Some nutrients are antagonist to other nutes. Some are synergetic.

I'm not quoting the show, I'm using the meme I've seen 10 million times on the internet.

I always thought Charlie was the brains behind the show, but it's actually Mack. He writes them all.

Think all 3 work together writing episodes, with other writers. As a side not they have started up a podcast talking about the show etc. very funny.

Anyway enough of this thread derailment.
