Feeding for Hydroponics
Nor_Cal_Kannablissanswered grow question 5 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! 👊

Hello community! I broke 2 branches this week. The first one happened by accident when I was draining the runoff, and the other when I was bending it.And today I came across a video where the author explains that silica can cause brittleness of branches. Does anyone have experience with silica and have you experienced anything like this? I add potassium silicate with each watering, at a concentration of 15ppm

Fert Switch Veg/Flower TimingWhen and how do you switch from Canna Vega to Canna Flores? Feel free to share any tips. What are your "signals"?
Do you suggest a hard switch like in the Canna schedule, or do you prefer transitioning by mixing the fertilizers?
If you need more info, please check the diary.

How much do you feed them extra-PK with Biotabs ?I use Biotabs : Mycotrex, Bactrex, Orgatrex, Startrex with a light mix soil and light water (0.08 to 0.1 ec). Some people told me I shouldn't put much PK 5-8 because they easily burn. How much and how often would you feed them PK ? I use blumats with plain water in 6.5L pots, thx

FOAM in the DWC tankHi guys, yesterday I changed the solution in DWC and today I saw some foam in the tank.
I had some ph oscillation and used first ph down and after some silica to raise ph. I guess that could cause that foam, what do you think? Some tips?
