Default Cannot sustain wysteria


||| 29g, press. CO2, 65W PCF, new bulbs.
||| pH 7.0 adjusted to 7.0 + Co2, added 1TBSp of Baking soda to raise
||| back to
||| 7.0
||
|| So your ph is 7 before or after adding co2?
|| If after then don't add more Baking soda.

Yep, because the kH is almost nothing, add CO2, and the buffer is all used
up, pH crash inevitable....

||| gH - 3 yeilding 18ppn CO2
||
|| You mean KH?

Yeah, duh?!?!?!? DOH!!! kH is 3 after adding the BS back to raise the pH up
from 6.2 or somewhere....

|| Turn up your co2 a bit to try and hit as close to 25-30ppm.
||
||| Dosing PMDD, 3x weekly - I've used this, and never questioned, but
||| the contents are from Aqua aka, Dominic... good stuff....
||
|| Keep using it...maybe dose 4 times instead of three.

Yeah, I've thought about that.. maybe adding some to the next mixture...
upping my NO3 in the PMDD and see what happens from there...

|| The only thing I can suggest is that you need more NO3 and possibly
|| more space around the wisteria, they really branch out once they get
|| going. Make sure this plant is not under the Moneywort as
|| Wisteria seems to like loads of light. As with me some plants just
|| don't do well in certain combinations. Concentrate on the plants
|| that are doing well, possibly ditch the wisteria for the moment. You
|| can always purchase the plant again at a later stage for a second
|| chance. Sorry I can't be more informative than this. Perhaps Mr,
|| Barr or Gadd can chime in. Good luck!

They are a Godsend.. I've taken a bit from each and surmized that you may be
on to something... Tom mentioned that my NO3 may need upping, and maybe
something else... but a re arranging may help it... it was the lower/shaded
sections that grew the hair... shade may be it's enemy....
