Ph and ppm swings
Chucky324answered grow question 5 years ago
Hello. When plants feed the ppm goes down. The plants get rid of waste in he hydro stream, and change the ph, that's part of the reason you change the water weekly. I find normally the ph goes down but I've had plants where I've had the ph go up. I correct daily. Good Luck. Chuck.

Normally when you start getting fluctuations in your ph you need to do a good cleaning inside you rez and buckets. Slime starting throws ph out of whack. Cheers friend

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 15ppmFeeding. Chemical composition
