EC and PH of Runoff is Higher than Solution
mbatistastarted grow question 4 years ago
I'm putting a full nutrients indication in all watering since beginning of flowering. And I was suspecting it was too much, so I decided to measure the runoff of the plant. And the measuremet was:
PH - in: 5.88 -> out: 6.76
EC - in: 1.15 -> out: 1.27
And now? what this mean?

Heya,
Means you are feeding the plants more nutrients than they are absorbing. Try feeding a little less and a little more run off to bring it back down a little. The plants are only absorbing what is needed and the rest of the salts build up in the medium affecting pH and ppm levels.
Cheers and good luck

Guys, Maybe it can be because i'm recycling the media over the times, and now is buffering the ec and ph?

You should also flush with proper ph water if your ph is climbing too high and or ec starts climbing way higher than what your feeding. Cheers

For soiless your in a good range for ec for early flower but you need to up your ph. Start feeding with a ph from 6 to 6.5 now. Mid flower increase your nutes to 1.4 to 1.6 ec and late flower back to 1.2. Looking good. Cheers

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200.
I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new).
Should I increase EC of the feeding water?
I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

expert opinion asked ? Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)
I'm not sure about the degree of ripeness.
I used Co2 for a few weeks (1000ppm), the grower says ~60-70 days of flowering, so I would be missing 10-20 days, but they look quite ripe ?
What should I do
Thank you

Questions about wateringI created a 40 ml solution, the instructions say to transplant after the sprout has grown to the top of the plastic cover and the roots are visible through the plug. The question is, is 40 ml of liquid enough for this growth? I think not.

Help: potential over fertilisation or over waterningI used Biobizz bio grow, 2ml/L and sprayed them more than usual. The tip of the leaves is getting yellow. 2 plants have the leaves pointing down and seem more textured and tick. The other 2 (the biggest) seem better, but the yellowing of the leaves is more evident.
