@bobo420, bought a ph pen and tds meter. TDS meter has been useless, hasn't registered anything on any run off or mix. Been using lemon juice to lower ph of my tap water.
Ph seemed to usually creep back up. Last time I fed them I went lower around 5.3, around 6 in bucket now.
Both plants looking better today.
@bobo420, Considered soil but not a whole lot to choose from locally (isolated, northern town). Ended up settling on a drain-to-waste system to get some hydro benefits while keeping it simple. Was looking at coco first but perlite is available locally, reusable and I have heard several accounts online of people having successful grows with 100%.
