Didn't think this batch would be too much but will get it sorted when I get home
I would drop the calmag for now bud, and resume it again a little further down the road. The calmag from gthydro is calcium nitrate and magnesium nitrate. So it also provides nitrogen.

Drop it completely?? I could always just lower the PPM rating for it. Not too sure though. Hoping if I bring the PPM down of my current batch and get the pH right I might just go on with it for the next 2/3 days and see how she reacts. Think a total of 200PPM should be good. I bought my CalMag from the shop here in Kraaifontein. Actually a pot nai to sell it that way because of the form it comes in. Why can't we have better nutrients in SA
Is it in the granule form?
If it were me, I would drop it for a week and see what happens. A calmag deficiency is easy to pick up as well, so could always resume calmag if you notice it. Too much calcium will lead to a phosphate deficiency.
Otherwise, do what you mentioned above and see if it progresses
Either way, you will figure it out

Awe it is in that granule form so you have to mix it with luke water to dissolve it properly. So do you think I should then drop the calmag completely and then just feed the BioGrow for now? PPM for that would be about 150. Going to go take a look at how she is this morning. Clocking off from work in about half an hour
It's dangerous giving advice on someone else's journal. Every grow is different. I would just be careful with the calmag.

Is it the granular Calmag and what ratio are you mixing.

Hey pat! Whats going on! Nice bike, like like a 250cc?
Plants are loooking good aside from the minor burn. Youll get ahead of it but im with pw. When a plant is that young i only mix maybe 1/4- 1/2ml per gal of water. The plant will sustain itself but in coco i always want to give some salts. I dont check the ppm but i give a very small amount until they are a little bigger. In coco you get away with lower doses of nutes because we are watering more frequently with nutes every time.

Good day peeps, so I saw the little one is picking up a small issue. True leaf tips are turning brown, not sure if it is because the PPM is too low, too much or what the problem is.
If anybody could please give me some advice regarding this I would appreciate it alot.
Info on it, last batch was a total of 265PPM. Tap Water was 44PPM, CalMag added was 154PPM and the BioGrow was 67PPM.
I would say perhaps lower my CalMag to 100PPM ans raise my BioGrow to 110-120PPM? Total would be around 260-270PPM.
Prost my friends
Honestly pat. I wouldn't worry at that stage. Those tips are minimal. Slow and ez wins the race g
Thank you just learned something and that makes total sense to me. Love this app

I would say drop down to like 200ppm overall and slowly increase. Like everyone is mentioning, they don't need much now But ya, small hiccup (not even) and they will be thriving soon brother, no worries at all

I know brother. Always just good to hear people's opinions on things cause might just work. For sure though I will lower the CalMag to about 70-90PPM and the rest I will give BioGrow nutes
Yeah it is that and I am mixing in half a teaspoon

shot brother it is a tiny 650 vtwin 
I have lowered my current batch down to an acceptable amount for now so just watching what she is doing. Thanks for stopping byAlways bru, take a step back and just rethink. Then cruise on further

Yo, so I made some adjustments to my nute batch today, nothing special.
Got it to 208PPM and pH is sitting around 5.2/5.3 for now. Should drift up in the next two or three days.
This is how she was looking this morning. Tips a little burned but not too bad. Second set of true leaves are coming through nicely.
Thanks for stopping by and blessings to all

I turned on the Bloom switch on the panel now also so we are running full power. Also lifted the panel up a bit yesterday by about 10cm (4 inch) to accommodate the added power. So far it is looking decent. Just not liking the burned tips 
Looking great Pat.
Cheers

She seems to love the light, she'll grow in to the nutes soon.
