Military Grade Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 14 minutes ago, MindSoup said: You can usually check the date the test was carried out but you're right, the only true way to know is a proper test. Mine says "Period: 01-Jan-2022 to 31-Dec-2022" not a very precise time period , Water can change throughout the year due to the changes in environment. And still mine don't show Magnesium, but not surprised knowing how useless my water company is Link to comment
Norbinyo Posted December 11, 2023 Author Share Posted December 11, 2023 The light i think is far enough from the plant the leaf temperature 23c the light about 65k lux so about 1660 umol/s/m2 Link to comment

They also say how many samples were taken for each parameter. So it depends how many samples they took during that period, some things are checked very regularly, e.g. cyanide 15 times a year but Ca and Mg were only checked once a year on my most recent reports. 2 Link to comment
RUFUS HOUND Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 although the postcode doesnt show mg or ca levels, it does state your water hardness levels and a french degrees hardness of 20 1 ° F (French degree) corresponds to 10 mg/l of calcium carbonate, so thats 200mg - your water is well hard. as most of the east of england is over limestone, its safe to assume you dont need any extra calcium - you possibly need some magnesium but you need a test to find out for sure. 2 Link to comment

No idea but like @latigid aikon Says 18 minutes ago, latigid aikon said: some things are checked very regularly, e.g. cyanide Should be more than once right, otherwise I'd be worried. Just be nice if my water company even listed a single date but not a individual date on the pdf file. I ain't moving so just have to deal with my situation and get it tested myself I think . 3 Link to comment

Sorry I might have read your comment wrong, if you mean how often should I get my water tested myself, I'd say twice a year at the start and make a note of the readings, then do the same the next year and use that data to make a future judgement Edited December 11, 2023 by Military Grade spelling 2 Link to comment
MindSoup Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Yeah okay that sounds manageable, my water is now my weakest link so it's time to get GA on the case, it's worth the money just from the fact they'll spoon feed me the information I need on how to get it good. 2 Link to comment
Herbal Kint Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) I think your sipping to much stuff in your mix. 3ml bloom and 1ml grow is needed tops+ cal mag 1ml if your doing autos,second I'd check for light leaks and lamp distance in case tops are to hot. Check bio bizz schedule thread, OT1 explained it in details. Edited December 12, 2023 by Herbal Kint 1 Link to comment
