Canadian Growers Group & Friends

Hi... Folks for the time that I have been a member of 420 forums, I have seen a lot of fellow Canadian growers asking Canadian specific questions on sourcing seeds, growing nutrients, lighting , grow medium etc. I have not yet seen an area where Canadian growers can go and source information...

This new thread has collected a few Canadians, pop in and say hi

I was surprised it hadn’t been claimed yet! I will check out the Canadian Grower Group; thanks!!

Canada’s beautiful west coast! I’ve seen the promix at my local garden store; I’ll look into it!
Do you use a PH meter to ensure proper feeding? I was recommended to take a ph test of what I was adding but also to take a reading from what is being flushed out the bottom. Do you do this?

With a properly buffered medium you don't need to adjust your pH level the medium will buffer it for you. Promix HP is well buffered so no need to adjust your ph. No that being said you can't have some crazy well water but if your using city water should be good. I am doing this grow without adjusting my pH. I was monitoring IIT when I started I don't even check it anymore. Testing runoff pH is a water of time it tells you nothing usefull

This is great information; really appreciate your knowledge. As a beginner, it’s easy to read too much and get overwhelmed

That's why it's a good idea to keep it simple the first time round less to go wrong.
