GMSgrowsanswered grow question 4 years ago You have a good air stone rocking the water in there? Is your water cool, frozen bottles of water can help keep it cool. Your ec should be about 1.0 until you see they need more. Maximum dissolved oxygen that water can hold is between 62 to 68 degrees. Your plants need this for vigorous growth and root health. Can grow in higher temps but not as good, plus you have to add root guard which you dont need if you keep the water cool. Luck my friend Cheers
