You are so brave ! I can’t imagine using rain water ... all the books I have read say don’t because it is too acidic and full of poison . Blah blah I get that plants grow outside and it rains , I’ve never really wrapped my head around why I use RO water, and then pour liquid shit into the soup hahaI drained the system and refilled it with my Week 4 recipe:
Week 4 Recipe
Starting Water : Rain Water 0ec
Buddhas Tree Solar Green Power Silica @ recommended 0.25ml/l
TA CalMag -> 0.4ec
Ionic Hydro Bloom @recommended
Buddhas Tree PK918 @ recommended 0.25ml/l
Buddhas Tree Metaboost @ recommended 0.5ml/l
Hydroguard @ recommended 0.5ml/l
I diluted this down to a solution of 1.1ec.
I'm out of my regular Canna Aqua Flores base nutrient, I use Ionic Hydro Bloom as a backup. For this reason, I fed all nutrients at the recommended, and diluted down at the end, to make sure the proportions were correct.
After feeding and leaving the system to recirculate for 10mins, the system reads:
EC : 1.1
PPM : 530
PH 5.9
Lets see how the ladies react to it
Can’t wait to see how it ends !
