Feeding for Hydroponics
Nor_Cal_Kannablissanswered grow question 4 years ago
If you choose to measure by PPM, hydro growers should begin with a solution that has 500 PPM and increase by 50 every week. The pH should be close to 5.5, and at least 5.2. Any nutrient with less than 200 PPM will be very light. Hope this helps.. Happy growing! 👊

Accidentally poured 2mL of "Grow Big" into "Big Bloom" bottle.I absentmindedly put 2mL of FF "grow big" directly into the bottle of"Big Bloom" (the murky one with bat guano).
Is there going any type of reaction that will create products that would be unsafe for my plants? Haven't taken chemistry yet. Is it ruined?

Why is my PH possessed?Why is my PH refusing to go down from 9s to 6 unless I quadruple the normal amount of apple cider vinegar to 12ml? Normally 3ml does the job. This week, ml somehow doesn't move the needle. The EC is a little higher, could that be it? The RO is normal starting at 8, this week 10+Week 6

Proper Mix SequenceFor nutrients some say to add cal mag after silica sits and bonds but before base nutes and others say to add after base nutes SMH so much misinformation makes it hard for new growers😅 I know mixing sequence matters. I just don't know which is correct.Week 3

What Ph should I water my Autos at? Considering this substrate and the previous problems I had with it ?I grow in this substrate, is it considered soil or coco ? What Ph should I water it at ? Had loads of problems in first grow with nutes due to over feeding which lowered my run off Ph to 4.7 and gave me problems. This time I will go slow with those but at what Ph? 🙏

PH problems (DWC)I'm using 5% acetic acid (vinegar) to lower the pH but with 6 hours it's always back up to the original pH. A similar bucket with no aeration remains stable. Is it because I'm using a weak acid? Is there any way to buffer the solution to keep it in the desirable range?
