3rd week Flowering
White Widow

I saw that i had leaf matter turning burnt. I moved my lights away 16 inches and put my plant in ph balanced water no nutes. How long do i let her soak in the ph balanced water solution before adding nutes again? I need help quick!!!!

24 hrs should do, then only give them 1/4 strength for a day. You really need to get a tds meter for hydro or you are going to continue to have the same problem. Also your ph should be at 5.5 for best results. Lastly, my understanding of WW is she doensn't want her nutes strong so don't give her full strength without a meter telling you, that you can.

Also what type of nutes are you using.

Nutes:Micro 2-5-10, Grow2-9-5, Bloom3-12-6 Supplements:Xtreme Nitro 8-43-26Earth Juice Catalyst or Liquid Karma 1-1-5,Heavy Weight and H2o2 . Thanks for the help and how much would a tds meter run me? What nute sced do you reccomend?

Good an intellegent question. I have a control wizard it cost under $40 us, you can find cheaper as well I think you can find them for as little as $25 on ebay. Be warned not all tds meters are useful. A meter should be able to read from 0-1999 ppm. There is a general food chart in the following link as well as useful info on tds and PH meters.

Its useful to know the conversion factor used on your meter the 2 types are .5 conversion and .7 conversion. The control wizard use .5 conversion.

Chimera Thank you buddy for your informative link you posted for me. I have found a TDS meter that has a range of 0-9999. I also followed your directions of using 1/4 strenght nutes. Also thank you for letting me know my WW girls don't like nutes at full strenght.
