I have to answer on my own thread because now Iam sure why this happened ... Its a N deficiency .... Reddish stems with leaves becoming yellow -> N deficiency, it went now through the whole plant from the bottom to the top. Iam just VERY curious why nobody ever knew that, I mean this is...

Yea I think so as well, just was curious about it.

Hey, Iam now in weak 2 of flowering and some of the leaf stems became a little reddish but only the upper half of the leaf stem and not fully solid, it looks more like sprinkled (cant find a pic to show because all I found always were pics that had fully red color which isnt the case for mine)...

Thanks for your reply, yes you are right but its annoying when you dont fertilize at all and your plants always showing signs of it. For the next time i ordered me a light mix soil from plagron where you only have little fertilizer in it, will use it for veg grow. Because adding fertilizer if...

EDIT: They looked better today, no brown tips .. they were just yellow, only 1 brown tip. I repot them today because roots were coming out at bottom and then tested EC again and it was 3.6. What does this now mean ? a.) measuring after repoting is useless because the soil has fertilizer in it...

Today a few days later the plants have yellow//burnt tips on new top leaves and here and there, its only the tips and very lightly but Iam wondering why. There are also a few leaves curling down, I just flushed with PHd water until it was at 1.5. Maybe 1.5 is still a little too much for them ...

Well you have a good point about knowing whats in, much better for sure. Maybe next time I will try out a RO system but I really went already way overboard with my budget. And after the flush everything is good again so at least for now I will continue this way. But I will keep the RO system in...

Hmm I always thought if you only use RO water that you cant keep the PH stable because there is no buffer ? Iam confused now about this. Dont ppls always mix normal tap water with RO water so they have a buffer ? Maybe I misunderstood here something or are you adding something so the PH stays...

Now this was finally the answer I was looking for, thanks alot. And yes I had to flush because the runoff was at 2.4, i flushed without nutes but with PHd water until it was at 1.5. Needed about double the size of the pot in water. Today the plants look much better, they even grew again...

Thanks for the answer but that wasnt really the question or I misunderstood you. The tap water is at 0.5-0.6 EC without anything in it. It was just more of a theoretical question. If the runoff water is at 1.5 EC and I use water that also has 1.5 (with fertilizer), will the runoff water EC then...

EDIT: I will make it alot shorter ... If the runoff water of a pot is 1.5 and I put in water with also 1.5 will the EC stay the same or will it raise ? Or will it only raise if there is salt buildup ?

But you have to treat Canna Terra Pro like a soiless Mix with 5.8-6.2 PH. Even shop owners doesnt often know this, there was someone who had problems on that grow medium and wrote a letter to Canna. He was copy&pasteing everything to a forum. So its not coming from me but even on the back of the...

Thanks for all the replies. I did just finish my 1st grow but had a problem after 1-2 weeks after bloom phase started. It seems that there was a problem / lockout because of wrong PH, at least I think so. This time Iam having a liquid for PH measuring and the truncheon staff from BlueLab for EC...

Hi, I have a question regarding water and PH. I bought PH- from Canna for grow and bloom. Well if I take my tap water it has around 7.5-8 PH (cant say exactly because Iam using just a liquid test for measuring). If I use the PH- it works great but if my water sits for 1-2 days it raises again...

Hello, first off Iam new here hello everyone :P. Ok to my problem, I have one small plant into composana 50% light soil (I think its a German product so maybe you dont know it, on their site it states that it has a PH of 5.5 because usually we have water that is over 7 BUT the tap water where...
