Now is about the time you'll want to add some base nutes. Always start with the lowest dose or 1/2 strength 👍🌱

The problem in plants when I supplying CO2
Hello! After adding CO2, I noticed problems on the leaves of my plants. Grow in coco+perlite, water with 1100ppm solution, 1000ppm co2 in air. Drain from the right 1400ppm and 1800 from the right. Is it related to co2 and irrigation system?

Water vs Nutrients
I eventually would like to start adding nutrients to her feedings and wanted to know does it matter what type of water the nutrients are added to, for example: distilled, tap, RO? Or is it just the pH of the water that is important?

I've been feeding 3 times/day at an EC = 1300 and PH = 6.2. Runoff this morning was ~700 on average. The plants appear to be happy but I'm worried that I'm underfeeding them and its slowing down growth. Should I increase EC? Should I start feeding more often?

When to introduce nutrients?
Would now be the correct time to start adding nutrients to the medium? Just don't want to introduce them too early to avoid burning the plant.

Hello, I have a question. When you look at my diary, I find my runnoff measurments to be concerning. Why do you think my PPM is so high and my pH so low? How do I measure my runnoff correctly? Do I filter it before reading or do I let it wait?
