Never adjusted ph and never had a yellow leaf, dead easy to use. My water EC is 0.3 but I can't see any reason these nutes wouldn't work with yours, well worth a try... It's meant for soft water for it to work as intended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu914 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 @catweazle1 I believe it's actually for RO water, all I know is it works as my gallery proves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only but try and see how things go but @stu914 seems to have decent results and reading earlier posts I Don think he worries about the PH I've tried different nutrients over the years so be good to compare 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And stu would get decent results from half a washing machine and some Tomorite Glad ya were joking as I've no idea I was meaning the yield coco brings. I used to grow coco but my bluelab pens always gave misleading readings and my plants took the effect and nothing went smoothly I then moved over to soil and use biotabs and you don't ph and just give plain tap water but I'm finding my yields are alot poorer in soil and wanted to go back to coco but without the hassle of having a PH. Saying that I just got over 85g off my seedstockers banana thunder so feck knows but it'll be worth a try as I'm reading positive things about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was growing DWC a guy in the local growshop put me onto Advanced and I haven't used anything else since. Moved on to my current system which is a top-fed, open-flow, medium free grow. I follow the feed guidlines on the Advanced bottles for the various growth stages checking with the CF truncheon at the same time. Delighted with the results which are proving to be consistent. Hope you ordered the coco ones? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi bud, yeah it's the coco grow A&B and Bloom A&B. I plan to top feed from the watering can and have a bluelab truncheon so can measure the EC with that I just need to buy the coco, is there a particular brand you use? I used to buy the canna pro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doominik Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 @DrumBoy420 I grow in hydro (wilma+pebbles) and done some grows in coco as well. I have very hard water and for that reason I use RO-using AN sensi, canna for soft water or shogun for soft water I dont need to anjust my pH at all. I just mix it and leave it for up to a week. I dont even knwo where is my pH pen now I havent used for at least a year now. AN is the easiest to use and I still use sensi grow and its just hard to go wrong with it and with others i find its easier to overfeed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumBoy420 Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 @doominik excuse my ignorance but do you have to make your own RO water? I don’t know much about it at all! yeah AN was the first brand I looked into as I’ve had a few friends use it but they are based in soft water areas. Still can’t quite make the call with which ones to get. I don’t really have the money to get my water tested properly AND by nutes so I’m not sure if I should just stick to a brand that does a ‘hard water’ version like Dutch Pro or Growers Arc just in case… I feel like this subject has very divided opinions and I know it’s all a matter of preference at the end of the day but still, very confusing!

doominik Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 @DrumBoy420 yes I make my own RO water. i run two flo tents and separate weg tent and use about 150l per week. Filters are cheap but around 2/3 of what you use is waste water and only 1/3 is clean filtered water. Its a bit of the pain running it but its a win for me not having to controll pH levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
