Water is immediately safe to use apparently, but I plan to let water rest for an hour. Distilled or RO water may cost me a fortune... i'm not sure how much water an aero system would use but the res is 50l... that's a cost of 150 on water. Something I'll look in to further, thanks.
Any reason for raising the PH to 6 during flower? Is there a more efficient intake of PK at higher PH maybe?
Will definitely diary it all I am sure there will be ups and downs along the way but it'll be a fun journey.
Here's my nutes plan with the EC taken from Jeff a Mountaineer and Canna grower. It was the only real measured plan I could find to follow. I was worried the EC might be a bit high initially and have thought about feeding just water until the first 3 pairs of leaves have sprouted, as I read that all the nutrients for the initial growth are in the seed.
