    Hope every one has had a good crimbo. Few pics for you two of them are my seeds which I'll be eventually taking cuttings from. One super cheese from feminised seeds and one Inc bulk.
    One of them has some wierd growth going on apart from that the plants are doing well, feeding is still the same. I'm think of going to get some silicone tomorrow, that vitalink feed lowers the ph down quite abit. Or have you and other ways of trying to raise the ph beth? I think we will flip the 1st friday of January. Should be down for a birthday smoke then =) are the feeds still continuing the same? Do I need any other bits from the shop whilst I'm there? Thanks

    Can you remind me what feed we are using dear.

    How many ml per litre of each?
    total ec and ph ?
    background ec is 0.3 yes?

    Yes you can use silicon to raise the ph its better than using ph up.
    Add it to the water and give it a good mix before you add anything else.

    Edit.The weird growth?are there single bladed leaves there?

    We are using the vitalink coco 1 part feed. So I've been mixing 5ltr at a time which has had 2ml per litre of bio bizz root stim and how ever many ml of vitalink to take me to 0.8ec. Yes back ground is 0.3. Ph has been 5.8-6. There isn't any single leafs they are just really curled up,
    Thank you

    Thanks dear.

    Sorry but Im following a few folks and keep forgetting whos doing what lol.

    Up the feed to 1.2 total,include some cal/mag in the first couple of feeds.

    Lower the ph to 5.6 for a couple of feeds working up to 5.9,try not to go higher just yet.

    Water well with runoff every feed.Dont let the coco get dry,you should be watering every day or every 2 days at least now.

    If you leave any left over solution for the next day then always check the ph again before using as it will probably need adjusting.

    Been and got the silicon, it says 1ml per liter. Am I adding a bit at a time and keep Checking the ph? Same with the main nute? And shall I use the silicone after the cal/mag and main feed have been mixed? Am I topping any more heads? There starting to bush out nicely now
    Thanks beth

    Add the silicon to the solution before the other nutes.

    Say you have 5 litres add 5ml silicon stir and wait a few minutes.
    Check ph to make sure it hasnt gone too high.Around the 7 mark is where you want it before adding nutes.If its a lot higher than 7 then bring the ph down before adding nutes.

    Add your cal/mag 5ml and then add your base nutrient to bring up to an ec of 1.2
    You should find the ph is pretty much near the right area if not ph down to adjust.


    Let me know what values your ph and ec are before any adjustments following the above mix,it will help me to help you,as I dont use the same nutes so just a bit more info to help me.

    You can top again if you wish dear your call

    Hi Beth, so all feed was mixed. My water which is stood for 24hours gives a reading of 0.6. And a ph of 6.5. Added 5ml of both cal mag and silicon which took me to 7ph and 0.8. Added 10ml of grow nutes which took me to 1.2. 4 drops of ph down got me to the 5.6 mark. So tomorrow am I going up to 5.7? And so on untill 5.9. Noticed a couple of dodgy leafs.

    So we now have a background ec of 0.6,you said it was 0.3 dear

    You need to add some more grow if that is the case,bring the ec up to 1.4/1.5.

    Yes regarding the ph 5.7 tommorrow 5.8 next day,5.9 then repeat at 5.6 again,just do a couple of rounds like this until we get them on track again.

    Oh you mean the mentoring emoji,ill get that sorted for you dear
