Hey now dont knock the MG lol i used it my 2nd grow with ok results ordering the gh trio now and graduated to coco this time. Greengringo is correct though you could be over dueing the nuits causing lockout which will req you to flush the soil out and try lower dose of what your using or could simply be a ph swing so k cant be took up the roots but dont stress to much like other guy said its a mobile nuit you cant reverse that leaf to green and vibrant but you can prevent more from turning like it did. Gl hope got it under control.
 
Best knowledge youll find on the web is on this site rollitup site and some youtube videos and lots of reading check out jorge cervantes great grower youtube check out gettogrowshow and grateful grower all great info from setups with a budget to everything you need to know about growing. It takes time man i didnt know jack last year now i got 2 grows complete and did on budget while investing 20$ here and there now everything is running smooth. Time and patience youll learn its a big factor in growing cannabis!
 
That is a PH up. I would use baking soda before I would use something not intended for food (or smoke). The labeling that says" Keep out of reach of children" tells me all I need to know, to set this one aside.
 
I would suggest that in the USA, being an increasingly litigious society, very nearly EVERYTHING will have a warning about kids. While I agree that plant-specific products are available & preferable, I'm not sure a "child warning" (or the absence of one) would be my sole criterion as to wheter or not to use it. I don't see anything wrong with using other products after a thorough reading of ingredients. I'm growing on the very strictest of budgets & improvisation is the key to it.
 
I tried to give a short answer, only to be challenged by someone who believes safety labeling is only there to please the lawyers.

So if you want to ignore the safety warnings on everything because you think they are just put on there by lawyers, consider that they will not even allow this stuff to be put in the mail.


Warnings:
California Proposition 65 Warning: WARNING: This product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Cannot return by mail
Due to federal restrictions, this item cannot be returned by mail.


So if you choose to smoke this stuff because someone tells you that the safety labels are just for litigation purposes, you may want to check the science yourself.
 
This product has the warning it does, because its an extreme base. Its 99% sodium carbonate. Very similar to baking soda(sodium bicarbonate ). Would I use it? Probably not.

Something as seemingly safe as hydrogen peroxide from the pharmacy vs. food grade hydrogen peroxide, has drastically different results when consumed. Because of the process of production one is safe, where the other is toxic. Just one example of something that seems safe but can harm even though they are almost the same.

I urge everyone to know what you are using and if it was produced in a way that is safe to consume. Something safe to spray on fruits and vegetables, which maybe washed off of the skin, likely isn't safe for bud. Especially bud that is consumed by combustion.
 
Base materials are dangerous for the fact that small amounts of water with large quantities of base can generate lots of heat. Or react violently. Which are dangerous in an accident that emergency crews would normally flood with water.
 
I agree I was just asking because a post online said it was ok to use pool ph up and down for plants . I read today vinegar and lemon can bring down
 
I don't knock anyone for using what they must. I just suggest knowing the risks is all. That pool stuff is probably ok. But I grow for myself to have the cleanest possible bud.
 
Never go by a forum post for anything important. This is where you get "opinions", not always facts to bet your health on.
 
Weigh you pot when it is bone dry.
Weigh it again when it is full of water.
Half way in between those two numbers is when you should water.
You will quickly get used to the weight and no longer need to weigh. This will be what people refer to as 'light;.

PS For me in 5 gal coco, I am averaging every 4th day at week 5 of flower

Ok I need to get me a scale thank you but what's to much water or to less I dont wanna over water not underwater I mean like how much ( ounces gallons ) so If I let it dry out and start to give water how much I do understand the weighing part but how much lol
 
Hey 85, Next time you water. Make sure 10-15percent of what you just put in the pots, comes out the bottom of your pot.
