New Grower

[grustman]

No, your plants are outgrowing their containers. Its time to up pot into a larger container. Be sure to use the same soil and your plants will double in size over the next two weeks.

Getting a new EC meter is important to find all the answers to your questions by testing everything. Every liquid going in and coming out should be tested if you want to get experience in horticulture and know what you're doing. As time goes by you won't need to test much because you will have learned what's what. Anytime you have a question "test it".

Thanks for the advice, but I don't have any other pots and I'm limited in space. In the morning, I measured the water without adding anything to it or removing the ph, which I remove with biobizz down. I'm attaching photos of these things on the leaves.

You have very hard water if I'm reading your meter correctly. 1006 ppm is water and fertilizer together? Is that what you have?

The picture shows only pure water without added fertilizers or ph-lowering agents

PPM is 0503 EC 1006

You need to take a magnifier loop and get a good look at your leaves. Top and bottom and make sure you don't have any mites. I can't tell for sure.. The bronzing on your leaves look like water spots from too much tap water.

I don't use tap water, I have a well and drain from there. I checked for mites, there is nothing, you will advise me

Welcome to ICMag!

Hello . today I bought water and fixed the EC. I also measured the water from the tap 67 EC, can I use it after boiling it to remove the chlorine because it is very expensive to buy water

 

[goingrey]

Sure, you can use tap water. Just don't add too much fertilizer to it.

 

[Creeperpark]

On your new meter, you can switch the EC to ppm and measure the TDS instead of EC. I think it's easier to use ppm for new growers. Boiling the water is not going to help much because chloramine won't boil out. .
I don't recommend you use bottled water because it's so expensive. The cheapest water you can get is rainwater. If you catch some and mix it with the tap water, you can make the tap water more usable. Either way you need to stay consistent and don't flip-flop around because plants don't like that. Go with the flow right now and if you have any more problems post it.

I dissolved the solution in the new water, which is now ok, but the old water has caused me trouble, I measured the EC of the leaking solution and what to see, terrible values, how to proceed, help

You are ok no need to do anything at this point. The high ppm is normal with some soils. Watch out for allowing too much water to leach out of the containers. The excess runoff will wash out the good nutrients the plants can use later. Keep your runoff down to almost nothing and take one day at a time. You Good.

Thanks, I was very worried

Colleagues, I want to ask when the leaves can be removed because some interfere with the flowers some time ago I did defoliation give suggestions are they still important Fan Leaves!?

 

[Creeperpark]

I don't remove leaves unless the plants are transpiring water too fast. Fan leaves are solar collectors that exchange gases and store vital nutrients. The stomata on the underside of the leave is a mouth that breathes for the plant. Thousands of them and are very important when moving nutrients from the root up the plant stems back to the atmosphere. In late flowering, the leaves will fall off naturally when you use water only. If you hold the water for a day when your plants are mature you will get yellow leave that will fall off naturally.

I seem to be stopping the problems because of the high EC of the water, today I watered them and photographed them. The lowest colors clearly do not reach the light and I am afraid where to put them
Watered today with 1.1l with the following things
Biogrow 1.1ml Biobloom 5ml Bioheaven 5ml
Cal mag 1.2ml Alg-a mic 4ml Topmax 5ml Molasses 3.6ml

Day 67 from seed
