Sorry yes your correct Chow it does indeed have the EC function which is such an easier function to understand when vs with PPM anyway Chow is right for Hydroponic DWC especially. The ph needs to be around 5.5 to 6.5 ideally you wanna aim for 5.8- 6.0. though I would check your chart as to what water to use or what they advise because you haveto take into account the extra ec already in your tap water. cause you will not get accurate readings if you dont :) Personally I would not go over 0.6 ec for seedlings then 1.0 for preveg and then upto around 1.6 to 1.8 for veg and I can go as high as 2.3 in late flower :) You'll find with some experimentation you will find the sweet spot eventully :) DWC is the way I chose to cultivate its fast :)

So one plant seems to have some potassium deficiency. Since then I have changed the Water and it only seems to be on older leaves. Any comments to the health of the plants would be helpful. The numbers I read for each plant are about even across the board PH 6-6.3 Ppm500-700 Ec 1-1.3 The 3 plants got the water changed a week ago and got 3.5 gallons of filtered water and then 3 TAble spoons each of grow big and big bloom. So far besides the big of discoloration on the one plant they seemed good to me but let me know if any one sees something else Thank you

Hey, these are signs of calmag deficiency, these brown spots are the main symptom. Add some calmag and you’ll be okay 😊

I did some trimming and low stress training. According to fox farms booklet I should switch to flowering by now 12/12 on/off but the plants still seem a bit small so I was waiting another week or so just to see what happens any suggestions ? Thanks all
