look on the labels for ca content if the micro has the ca in it up that and maybe reduce the others. Some times hydro nutes buffer the ph a touch low i find for soil but 6.5 should be ok
 
Just checked the micro has the ca you would just up that a touch
 
yeh ive been watching the ph like a hawk since i had so many problems early on every runoff measured and recently its stable at 6.5-6.4.
was just off getting a picture, calcium 1.4 and i dont think it has english instructions but terra i assume means soil at 50%

ah cool cheers, ill probably but some cal mag anwyay as i would like to have all these things incase of dramatic deficiencies in the future.
that should solve it so? easier than i thought itd be.
i just fed yesterday should i hold off for a few days or re-feed now?

cheers to all for the help ill report back with more problems if needed.

you could just dose the micro when the soil is dry
terra is soil
 
Well to be honest, I have never had any deficiencies while using the flora series, the 3 part series is actually a pretty well rounded product. I have never needed to supplement with anything but some bloom boosters but thats more for the "overkill" factor than anything.

I just dont use the 1.3x strength which is the reason I said to back off on the nutes and to flush with some fresh ph'ed water.

Here is a UK Hydroponics store with some CALMAG : http://www.growell.co.uk/bloom-calmag.html#tabs
 
hey just to clarify i have been working upto 1.3x or so. started at half strength and have slowly edged it up bit by bit as they looked hungry, i dont think ill up it much more. on another forum i was asking about this and did hear from some people who say they needed to add calmag at the start of flower. cheers for the link, either way i would like to have it in my cupboard for situations like this. ill pick up a bottle this week.
 
Oh no im not saying that the 1.3x strength is too much, my plants are just really sensitive and have always been light on feedings so I have never used that much. I just know I always end up with problems near the end if I dont flush the odd time since I always get buildups.

Definitely pick up some of that Calmag, its always good to have something and not need it, then need it and not have it.

Goodluck sir, you have a wealth of knowledge around here, im sure you'll be fine.
 
yeh exactly, i have already amassed a pile of stuff ive never used and more to come!
i was reading a post of muddys where he said he always feeds(might be wrong), he was saying he waters enough so that theres 10% runoff and that that was enough to stop salt buildup, so far i havent had any issues anyway. i will slow down and stop near the end anyway.

i go easier on the autos aswell, they have never looked hungry the anorexic little bastards.
