Hey m8, pond water would be good provided there isnt any nasty in there like algae etc. the ph of the wayer is probably right although maybe try changing the battery to make sure lol....i read somewhere that in soil grows the ph is buffered by the soil, levelling out whatever you may put in. so, if you added water of 10 ph then the plant soil / root system buffers the difference and regulates it back to a usable nutrient level ph. making nutrients available to the plant. i believe this is down to some bugs / creatures living in the soil that convert unusable nutrients into usable ones. hope that makes some sense lol, just put one out so im prob miles off the mark anyway. but that will be why your plants are ok. i have used outside waterbutt water with high ph for months and months now with no problems- see my plant pic here.
all the best with your grow, tob

BING Hi all just found this chart after someone pushed me in the right direction so what is the best p.h for coco this is really doin my head in now many thanks
GEORGE (27-03-19)
very useful thanks

remember when reading these charts its not about getting a hi peek of any 1 single element. its to get an overall even balance of all elements in the nute.

One question i've been wondering tho; if u are having PH lockout problems, can u get round it by foliar feeding?? Can all nute types be absorbed via foliar application?
GEORGE (27-03-19)
it isnt solving anything. sure it gets food to them for a bit. but wont solve the roots burning in salt and killing the plant, might get around it for a few days but wont last long. only way around lockout is water till ph rises again back to what is used to feed/water with

Cheers CW - i didnt think about the roots baking in salt bit - i just assumed lockout meant they were denied nute uptake only, but i guess it means an unhealthy zone for root condition too.
GEORGE (27-03-19)
and after i thought about the effect. hi salt makes stomata also close meaning no transpiration and the foliar wont get in either with closed stomata, so it will die eventualy if it isnt fixed
