Hello.
Soft water is water that has been filtered in one way or other to reduce the amounts of certain minerals(as far as I know) and that makes a difference when it comes to the nutrients that I/the grower has to supply the plant with since some of these minerals that are filtered out are micro nutrients that the plant needs AFAIK.
And I simply don't know how to tell whether or not the BioCanna range, i.e. BioCanna Bio Vega, Bio Flores, Bio Rhizotonic and Bio Boost will work with my water.
The characteristics of my water are these:
- PH: ~ 8,0.
- Softness: 2,16 - 2,64 °eH(Clarke).
- Calcium: 20 - 24 mg/L.
- Iron: < 0,01 mg/L.
- Chlorine: 0,05 - 0,25 mg/L.
- Aluminium: < 0,02 mg/L.
- Fluoride: < 0,1 mg/L
["<" equals "less than"]
(I'm not suggesting that those are the minerals that are important, it's simply the info I have available about my water)
But what can I make out of that?
Do I need to by another product like Canna Trace Mix(or other brand product with micro nutrients but no N-P-K) or can I adjust the dosages of the other BioCanna in some way?
I had first thought to use a kit from Dutch Pro which was specifically made for soft water areas but it did contain more products than 4 and I would much rather use BioCanna range which only is 4 bottles.
Any advice would be much appreciated, because if I can't manage to figure this out then I'll sort of feel that I need to go with the Dutch Pro instead, not that there would be anything wrong with that but I would much rather simply go with the flow and choose what I for some reason feel I want to do.
Kind regards
