Drips are meant to be run constantly in most cases. If it's a soilless medium, then definitely run 24 hours a day. Also if it recirculates, make sure you test your reservoir often.

To water or not to water, that is the question. Week 4Hello everyone. Today I've noticed that the leaves of the biggest plant are drooping a little. I think it is due to under watering because the smallest of the 3 is standing firm. The soil seemed to be dry for a whole finger so I watered a little. Could someone please confirm?Week 2

Fertilizer for flowering phaseHi! What should a good fertilizer contain, suitable for the flowering phase? And what could I use if I want to buy it in a hardware store? Or can I just keep using my normal fertilizer, that I also used during the growing phase? Thanks for your help :)Week 8

Problemas de ferilización?Que opinan sobre está carencia/exceso en estás plantas? Ambas tienen 4 semanas y han mostrado esos indicios solo en las hojas viejas, pienso que puede ser déficit de calcio/magnesio, aunque no controlo pH, así que es un factor que también quizás debería considerar. Que opinan?5 years ago

How important is cannazym in my coco grow?Should I be using something like cannazym in my res. for my coco grow? I notice allot of people don't mention it, but it seems like they would have to clean the tubing pretty regularly without it. I've never grown without it so I really wouldn't know the other side of the coin.Week 8

Ph drop in water reservoir (drip system)Using a drip system with water reservoir.
Last 2 weeks I have been having trouble keeping the Ph in range.
The routine is fill the bucket, add nutrients, ph down to around 6.5 if needed. But it drops to 5.5 over a few hours even when adding Ph+ it will drop to 5.5 after an hour.Feeding. Automatic systems

Week 2, leaves yellow-ish mottling, pH too high?That's my guess for now. I was going to use Blumat Tropf hooked up to tap but house water seems too basic. Only way I can think of remedying is to hook Blumat Tropf up to reservoir and make sure the water in it is the appropriate pH. Will that be stable?5 years ago
