What is this problem

[AgedMaster]

Almost every nutrient brand advertises themselves as ”pH perfect”.
Now days especially nutrients designed for hydro cultivation has more or less pH stabilizers. But it doesn’t necessary mean that you don’t have to pH your feed.


This is important as well. Two part nutrients A part has the Calcium on it, and thus that the bottle which has Ca on it needs to be ALWAYS mixed in first.

Nb! Just googled Canna Aqua A+B analysis and found out they’ve added Silica to the part A. Can you confirm this(?) Read your A and B bottle labels and see which bottle has Silica (Si) on it.

I assume part A has Silica on it. And Silica or concentrate with Silica needs to be mixed always, ALWAYS first. And it needs to be stirred very well to make Silica soluable.
Insoluable Silica bounds Phosphates and makes P unavailable for roots.

Silica also has naturally very high pH (between 7-8) and Silica tends to raise your solution pH.

This could be one major problem solver.

yes it contains sillica sorry there is no silica on label a part does contain calcium i also read somwhere that it does

the npk of canna A+B is 3-4-9 should i even be using calmag my water has it and my feed has it can u give to much calmag

Hi all gona stop worrying about the problem it cant be fixed if res is to small will keep u all updated a week at a time thanks for all the help gained loads of knowledge for next time much love people

try the buckets in the future as well. the buckets give the plant roots somewhere to go. without them all you've got is a block of rockwool and the res with a layer of hydroton between. you'll get better production giving the roots a home.

if you run clones in the future you won't even need the rockwool. you could actually start seed in a plug and go straight to hydroton if you want.

The single greatest issue is that the reservoir size is undersized for the plant mass and number of plants it is required to supply.

it's the number one issue with many pre-built turn key systems. a proper sized res will help keep many other issues in check.

CANNA AQUA has been specially developed so that your plant regulates the pH itself and therefore always receives the right combination of nutrients.

plants don't regulate ph. they can't. it's the soil or media which regulates ph. you are using media which will not, so it's up to you to constantly monitor and correct.

check any youtube blather about these systems. not one will tell you to not worry about ph. in fact all of them will recommend constant monitoring. minimum once a day. more often if needed.

it's the nute system that is trying to sell you on the idea of not needing ph. very few will live up to those claims in practice. the safe bet is to stick with hydro rules until such a time you are comfortable enough to relax them on your own to see. you have to be the one in control. not the nute bottle.

agree.

would a flexi tank be ok u can get 250ltr versions and there not to big then i can do run to waste instead of recycling feed.

I would contact the manufacturers website and either submit email, website consultation or telephone a company representative and specifically inquire about the Flixi tank's use with potable water, grey water and nutrient solutions to ensure trhe material for the bladder is compatible with your intended use and not merely only intended for use with a potable water supply.

Mineral content of the grow media combined with bacterial, mycorrhizal fungi, enzymes and other creatures which alter rock with dirt into active fertile soil.

Many plants are able to interact with a family of elements when preferential simple nutrient bonds are limited, suspended solid in suspension of the solution or unavailable by temperature, humidity, electrical conductivety, pH range level and PPM concentration in available water sources. Many plants alter the pH and electrical conductivity through the reduction of complex bound elements in nutrient composition. Many plants which are capable to reduce or break complex bonds also raise conductivety, pH level or PPM strength when processing complex bonds into simple elements by either consuming greater water than nutrients or expelling superfluous unnecessary byproduct simple bonds through this process.

When a nutrient manufacturer relates information regarding pH stability in relation to their products what they are relaying is 1 of 2 mater concerning the specific chemical selection and division of their products in relation to only their product lines compatibility within that specific product line pH ability under normal use as directed will not cause the disolved minerals to either form suspended solids and pricipitae out of the solution creating bound nutrients which are unacessable for use to the plants.

Tentatively refereed to as The selection of raw source material for multi part or single nutrient stable pH balance claim and formulations explained. I am submitting a draft for inclusion in either the 420 Magazine Frequently Asked Questions or Cultivation Scientific Data section to expand the practical application and understanding of the process in why preferential selection of easiest access nutrient bonds by the cannabis plants use to supply the plant requirements.

Using a quick rough conversion to convert electrical conductivity or ec to PPM

569ec / 0.64 = 889.0625 PPM

is the average your water supply tested. for specific information you shall either have to submit a sample to your municipal water facility or private lab for analysis. The aged water supply pipe, sediment and other issues affect individual delivered water supply quality.

Thanks john everythings settling down now my ph has dropped to 6.5 down 2 over 2 days i think adding extra water has helped also cut out calmag thanks for new member start links

agree.

im going to buy new system next time with large res

plants don't regulate ph
i copy and pasted that from canas website its canna who claim this
