GA water tests results. What to add for veg.

[Jogreen]

Hi , I just had my water test results from growers ark. Im going to buy there custom feed for bloom but wondered what I should add for veg? Growing in Coco.

 

we have tested your water, results and comments are below. All values are in parts per million (ppm ) except pH.

 

Thanks.

 

Calcium         4

Magnesium   3

Sulphate       14

Alkalinity       48.8

pH                 7.20

 

This is a very soft water with very low levels of Calcium, Magnesium, sulphate and low-moderate alkalinity.

This water will need a soft water feed, with the addition of some pH up to raise the pH to a suitable level.

This water has an alkalinity level that is sufficient to provide buffering against pH drift so after adjusting initial pH should remain stable.

Any questions get back to us.

Kind regards

i would buy their soft water veg nutes if you are putting an order in

@ratdog I should of put in my original post that I still got 10 litres of canna a+b to use, was wondering what I should add along with that. I will probably buy the grow when it's gone.

looking at such low levels of both cal and mag, i would get some 'terra aquatics' cal/mag, it's quite forgiving with the low nitrogen content

 

there is such a thing as cal/mag haters/nutrient purists strangely enough, ignore them, i have very soft water and cal/mag is a life saver

 

that said, coco nutes have some cal mag in it, so you might be sweet unless you are already having issues

Thanks for the reply @ratdog, I do get some calcium deficiency showing at week 4 or 5 in flowering, and what looks like mag deficiency in veg. I'll grab some calmag and see how it goes.
