EC and PH of Runoff is Higher than Solution
mbatistastarted grow question 5y 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

DWC PPM First feedI used rainwater with ppm of 15-18 and mixed 8 gallons with 18 ml of GHE Bloom, Gro and Micro with 4 ml of CalMag. Both buckets have new PPM of 350-390. Is that too aggressive for day 9? Or can I push more? New to DWC and growing and hoping for some applied knowledge. ThanksWeek 1

Add weight in flowering?Would a black strap molasses brewed tea help my buds add weight? I'm using only Fox Farm Trio and CalMag with reverse osmosis water, pH @6-6.5.
While I have atleast 2 weeks left I'd like to get the most weight possible, if there is anything I can do this late in flower that is.4y ago

what EC do you feed and how often?I've been giving 6.5 pH water once and the next time I add nutrients until I get an EC of 1mS/cm. This was ok before (runoff didn't show many nutrients on soil). Now I water 2.5L/day but the plant leaves nutrients in soil (runoff EC increases rapidly!) It's in week 4 of flower.5y ago

Hard water vs CalMagI don't have EC/PPM meters, but I know that I have hard tap water, according to my city water distribution company. Do I need to suplement CalMag on my feedings? How much should I use if I don't have PPM meters here? What are the risks of using or not using CalMag in this case?Week 1
