    Default What nutrients would you recommend for my water type?

    Hi, I'm looking into nutes and like all growing subjects it seems to be a bit of a minefield lol, use this feed for hard water, that feed for soft.

    I've used BioBizz grow and bloom in the past but I've moved house since then and we have a different water supply by all accounts.
    According to a water supply website ours is...Water - Moderately Soft 20 - 40 mg/l Cal Ph if that means anything.

    Growing in soil and want to keep it simple, root stimulator early on then veg/bloom nutes when required.

    What would you recommend chaps and do I also need a cal/mag supplement?
    Let's get it on!

    On my very first grow I used Biobiz but found it very hard to get right as I think it was just way to strong for my grow type (Auto) I am currently using OT Bloom and Grow and had better success.Recently someone mentioned they have had success on some nutrients they have bought from poundland. Think it might be personal preference and what your comfortable with.

    I've switched from bio bizz to PM range
    Never looked back
    Pm seems suited for my UK water supply
    What biobizz I have left gets used for house plants and the garden
    All the best fella

    Ionic do a hard water nutrient, its brilliant, contains amino acids which really aids calcium up take, otherwise you can get calcium issues with hard water as the calcium turns to limescale

    Ionic is cheap as well about £10 for a bottle of grow, and £10 for a bottle of bloom, and depending on how many plants you grow, they last me a couple of grows

    Thanks for the replies, I was contemplating OT so I may go down that route.
    Will I need some cal/mag additive with my water?
