Yes ive read this, it also says if the ppms are lower than 150, cal mag should be added up until 150ppm. I think im just going to stick with canna as a universal nute and just add the cal mag as and when i need it.. im quiet confident that my waters good, it just has a high ph which is easily...

Yes but it shows that calicum is what makes the water hard, everything on the chart is based around the calcium even going so far to say that 40-60mg of cal = slightly hard, ill take a couple of screenshots and show you

Infact i just checked my water company and it says there 36mg of calcium, i can only assume they mean per litre maybe? Would that suggest enough calcium in my water?

Im not growing in soil, sorry i thought id explained, im growing in coco and perlite hence why im so worried about getting it right, Ive read that a ppm of 120 isnt a bad start when using nutes, it just confused me because the guys at vitalink claim anything over a ph of 7.8 in the UK is classed...

No worrys because my waters ali Its cool, i appreciate all the feed back, i just need to know a couple more things, will i need cal mag with a low ppm reading?? And when feeding measuring the ppm ec, do i include the waters e.c in the overall plan, or do i subtract the water then make up the...

Ive just decided to go for canna and follow the guide, it allows you to add all your readings then gives you a schedule to go by,ill just use that as a base and adjust as time goes on.

I dont understand how the water can test hard through ph and soft through ppm

Preferably id like your input

Right im confused now, and need some sound advice preferably from someone British as i understand our waters alot different to Americas, i just got a tds 3 meter today and it reads my water at 110ppm which is soft, yet my ph tester reads 8.2 and the water company reports my waters slightly...

Nah im not worried, just curious on wether to buy plant start for the first week before going onto base nutes, which maybe a little strong to start my seedlings on. But im not going to buy it unless i know what it is and what it does hence why i asked you.

Cheers dude, ill be going from seed, would you reccomend plant start instead of a and b base nutes for the first week or so? Ill be just germanating in a paper towel then planting the seed in small pots of coco and perlite mix.

I havnt ordered my vitalink nutes yet so just in case do you mind telling what nute combo you use exactly and just a little info which may help should i go with canna? I was just thinking if you live in the uk in a hard water area and it works for you then i may actually look into it as i...

Ah yes plant start ive never used it, but ive heard good things, do you start from seed or cutting?

Hey dude, i have considered canna and do belive it would be a good range to use, but im going to stick to vitalink just because i had such a good outcome the first time and even though i neglected my last 2 it still manged to get me through even though i was using soft water nutes in hard water...

The thing is in the uk the water is very goof compared to other countrys so a hell of alot of growers use tap water, i understand its a little different in America as ive noticed 99% of American hydroponic stores sell ro filters, i think im going to just stick with tap water but thanks for the...

Appreciate the info pal.

Yes well funny enough ive been reading and getting upto speed with everything, I appreciate the feedback off all you guys, its all helpful, do you have experience growing with coco? Or vitalink max nutes?

I actually grow in coco coir, never once have i grown in soil, i understand that my problems with ph and getting the right nutes would cause me more problems in coco but i also think theres alot of benefits if i get it right too, i have thought about switching it up to soil, but im going knuckle...

You're spot on mate, i do need to take the reading side more seriously, at first i just wanted to grow my own weed and see how it turned out, but as ive gained a little knowledge and seen my plants grow and change, its really got me interested and obviously id love to be able to grow some killer...

If im honest my last 2 grows have been totally rushed, theres probably alot i did wrong through just plain neglect as ive had a busy few months. Unlike my first grow were i really took care of the plants the best way i knew how, little things like misting my room out especially through veg...
