    Ahh ok, soil is from a bag of multi purpose compost so could be hot. I will forget the idea of feeding it for now.

    Ah yeah so perhaps for future reference and grows, a lot of very good growers here recommend using Verve B&Q, Biobizz lightmix or Jacks Magic Compost

    I added 4ml of Canna Rhizotonic to 1 litre of water and the PH went up to 9.8 so added 4 drops of 81% phosphoric acid to get 5.8.

    @IceCalibur I think the Verve B&Q is the stuff I have, unless there is a different bag.

    whats your background ph if yer water freshly drawn from the tap n after being left stood to offgas for 24hrs?

    just asking, cause the bulk of my problems with my first soil grow is awarded to the ph down, since found out you shouldnt even use it in soil.

    Something amiss there. It should not shift PH to 9.8. That is very akaline.

    What PH is your tap water?

    I use 4ml Rhizo but in 5lt of ro water.

    It might not have been 9.8 but it was 9.something.

    Didn't leave the tap water to stand 24h when I mixed up the rhizotonic, the PH straight out the tap is 7.4, I will leave it 24 hours and test again.

    The directions said 40ml for 10L so that's why I went with 4ml for 1L.

    Yeah but you want to me about 1/4 strength!!!!

    Ignore what the manufacturers state. Their instructions are for full strength mix that you are supposed to dilute.

    Yeah let the water stand and allow the chlorine out.

    I did consider that but then it said you could soak seeds in the solution so thought full strength would be fine and that was more for nutrients. I can dilute what I have now to make it 1/2 or 1/4 strength.
