Cheap PH down?
smokeyspartacus
started grow question 6y ago
Is it just me or is GHE/AT PH Down very diluted? I started with gGrowth Technology which is 81%. TA PH down has nothing stated on the bottle... What do you use as the cheapest way to get PH down in circulating hydroponics/DWC?

Not sure if it works with hydro/DWC but citric acid is a cheap pH down. It’s water soluble so I’d imagine it be ok. Worked great for my organic grows.

EC going up daily during the day - Hydro recirculating system
Would anyone have an idea why the ec in my tank goes up every day of the plant, like 7 or 8 hours after the lights are on ? Evaporation ? The plants eat more at this time of the day ? Overfeeding ? Got a small 20L tank and a tight space. Thx !

What is your process when you fill your tank in hydro ?
Do you add all the water and then the additives (fulvic, calmag, cannazym, trychodermas and mycorhize for example) and then the nutriments? I think I'm doing it wrong, what is the correct order for a calculation method? So you know the correct amount of nutes & addtives in the ec

Suggestions of nutrient combinations with GH Flora series
Is it suggested that I grow with more than just the GH Flora Series (e.g. add Floralicious, Diamond Nectar, Cal-Mag) etc.) with my setup. I am using WaterFarm Hydro Single with ~150 ppm well water. Would like to produce some scrumptious buds!

Is my PPM level good?
I used my TDS meter for the first time today to test the run off from watering my plants. The Bruce plants will be 3 weeks old on Wednesday. The run off came out to 1140 ppm. That’s still good right? I don’t need to start adding any nutes yet do I?

Calmag overdose
I was stoned and accidentally added way too much calmag to my distilled water when watering yesterday. I meant to add 2 ml into a gallon but instead added 20 ml. I poured 3 gallons of Distilled water through today trying to dilute. Am I screwed now? Is my plant going to die?
