...you should be able to go back and edit your previous post.

...i would also suggest that you read through HundredGramOz's thread on this topic and maybe some of his other threads too, his work is impressive.

This is my water report. Can anyone see any problems with it that would mess up the feeds causing too much N

Sorry that’s the report for the tap water. PH of solution is around 5.7-5.9/6

...i learned a LOT about coco DTW studying HGO's work, in particular that thread i linked to, i think you'll find many of your answers in that thread.

...but that's on you, read it, don't read it, either way my plants still grow.

...btw, you're welcome.

I’ve read the thread start to finish. I’m following his advice to the letter as best I can. Small pots multi feeds loads of roots etc. There’s some strange reason I’m getting N tox with a low ec. It must be something to do with either the tap water or the coco or both. Maybe something is messing the cec of the coco. It needs some out of the box thinking.

I notice canna says use at least 5l pots. Is there something to do with Canna coco that make multi feed DTW not work? Should I run hydro bloom feeds during 12/12 to lower then N. All I am after is suggestions of what might cause N tox in small pots DTW system. When the same strain, same coco, same nutes can run a high ec when hand watered in large pots without N tox???

It’s driving me mad

Ps posting a pic of your good looking grow doesn’t make me feel better.

How about if someone comes up with a suggestions that actually works I’ll send them $100 Bitcoin

You have yet to post up any pics, not easy to help when it's just a vague complaint ...what's the texture of the coco in the pots look like

What do your roots look like, pic please

You're in the uk right?

That water analysis looks like it's on the east with chalky soil?

Lucas 6/9 is ok for veg but to high in N for decent flowering, I use 6/9 for veg and have a bit more N left in than I'd like when they finish which I'm trying to deal with by alternate days feeding GH Bloom which contains no N from week 3 onwards

As far as water goes, if you can drink it OK what's the problem, ph can be adjusted and Canna do nutes for that Ph range in their soft water range, just like they do hard water for my area

Great. Thanks I’ll post some pics up ASAP but it will be tomorrow. I’m in the midlands. Severn Trent water that says moderately hard. TBH I think the water must be fine. Have you managed to get Multi feed DTW working in the UK using small pots etc. ?

The Midlands hmmm strange having a ph above 7.2, still who knows WTF they get water from these days

Agreed water is Ok

If you've read HGO's thread then you should know who taught him
