what am i doing wrong

[SeanTrollope]

Water in Rand Water’s area of supply ranges from 60 to 110 mg/lCaCO3, thus we have a moderately soft to slightly hard water.

that is the most detailed one i can find for out area. i do know that our water is on the harder side as we get a bit of limescale buildup

Provided you do not overdose, there will be no side effects. You need to find the balance with the light, so the plants use all this, and not algae.

right okay. i think to start im going to give half the recommended dosage and see what that does.

Yes, it is always wiser to use less of these additives. Remember it takes more than a few days for any benefit to show up, so after a few weeks assess if things are better or not.

Right so just to report back all my plants have new shoots as well as root growth. They all seem to be growing fast and I am really grateful for all the help.
