    IV got a small pump which has a built in air line which I have on slightly but because the pump has a filter I have no salt build up at all in my rez I found an air stone was more trouble then it's worth plus it don't mix your nutes

    My rez ph always rises slightly every day and i have a pump circulating it.
    So just have to add some more ph down to bring it back in range.

    You might wanna try a different range of nutes.. what ph down are you using mate.?

    Also some raw omina also helps chalet the calcium in hard water areas. As the white stuff could be calcium in your tap water.

ID:	362488I'm using this PH down in the pic. It happened with house and garden coco nutes so defiantly not the nute brand.

    ok so make sure ph is with in range. Is it not possible to just add ph down to the nutrients I'm taking out of the res? maybe the ph is the problem

    Yes well i mix my Nutes first then adjust ph last thing for my hand feeding pots.

    So should be no problem just adjusting the ph of what you need at a time.
    See how that goes mate.

    That ph down is fine.

    still no salts after 3 days so I think the airstone was the problem. iv aslo PHed the mix to 6.0 and the PH is still 6.0 so PH seems a lot more stable with out it.

    I was using house and garden a and b up to 3 weeks flower but I could not use anymore then 0.7ml without geting nute burn and was struggling but think that's due to my tap water being 0.7ec so switched to ferro what's dialled into our area tap water and the plants seems to love it a lot more!

    Using ferro nutes a and b bloom
    pk13/14
    brio crop
    turpinator (:if anyone has another product what works like turpinator but cheaper and could share id greatly appreciate it

    growing 3 strains but next time will be doing all the same to make things a little easier atm I have blue dream, jack herrer and x2 of double cream by cream of crop.
    plants are doing well apart from blue dream what has sstretched a lot compared to the others and has had light stress from being a lot higher but the other 3 are good. double cream seems to be booming! seems a really good strain so will be doing these on my next grow.

    id like to upload pics but my phone is broke and funds are short but will get some up soons I can. maybe I could do a diary on my next grow as I don't see much online about double cream but seems a winner

    cheers for the help all stay smoked!
