@HappyHydroGrower -would you be able
let me know what you think-here’s my situation. My plant is 24 days in. She has a nute deficiency. I got her ec from 0.5 to 0.8 now, ppm is 417 and ph is 5.7. Will this get her out of the nute deficiency? Or is this a different issue all together. I will water change tomorrow.

What are you water temps?
How high is the water in your bucket?
(Hopefully 1.5” below netpot.)
What are the temps at the canopy level?
What nutes are you using?
How much exactly and in what order do you mix them in?
What light do you have and how high is it?

Water temp is between 68-71. Water about 1.5-2 inches below net pod.
Temps at canopy level is 77-78
Using general hydroponics
Doing 1/4 tsp/gallon of ro water
I have a recirculating system
I add micro first, then bloom, gro, cal mag(2ml/gal), and lastly hydroguard (2ml/gal)
I have hlg 600 r spec at 70% at 24 inches above canopy
Humidity fluctuates between 45 and 55
I would greatly appreciate your input

When adding nutrients, add it this way…
Cal-mag
Micro
Bloom
Grow
Hydrogard…
If your using silica ?
Then add that first and rest as follows , just make sure to stir everything every time you add a nutrient…
Everything else seems in order…
Get some pics of your whole system …

Thanks so much
Ok cal mag first and hydro guard last. General nutes in that order which was the order I read somewhere. I mix after I add each one. I’m glad to hear I’m doing something right. 
Should I be adding silica? What is that used for? Will send pic of system. I greatly appreciate your input. Can’t do it without the help of the ones that have the knowledge.

The master has spoken… lol
Thanks peachfuzz! Hope all is good out your way brother.
Silica helps with cell structure and bud development.
I run silica, Jack’s 321 and hydroguard and that’s it. If you ever want to grow weed stupid easy and simple, thinks about Jack’s 321. And, it’s cheap!
Kind of appears you’ve got clear hose connecting totes?? If so, change to black hose. The clear will cause algae to grow in your system. Good luck and keep us posted.

Thanks for that. I’ll have to look into jack’s. My hoses are black. Must be my terrible photo skills. So silica is something I should add. Does jack’s have cal mag in it or would I have to add that as well? I appreciate your input as this is my first real grow. My leaves are still turning today. Since my levels are decent, what should I do. Is an ec of 0.8 ok for day 24 or should it be higher?

Jack’s 321 has everything you need. All I add normally is silica and hydroguard. Been using it for almost 3 years. Lots have switched to it. If you do stay with GH, @peachfuzz has the receipt for success.
Keep us posted here. Ever you ever have question, feel free to ask away.

Your good there. You can probably go up if they start to looking a little yellow’ish. To about 400-600 ppm’s and by flower up around 1000 ppm’s.

Sweet! I’m definitely checking jack321 out. Will it stress my plant if I change nutes or wait until next grow? Will definitely keep ya posted. I just hope I can get her in a better place. Thanks again!

Naa, won’t hurt it at all. Just make sure you do a good flush and start with a new batch of Jacks. Probably wouldn’t be good to mix nutes together.
Your welcome!
