EC and PH of Runoff still Higher than Solution even after a flush and lowering the EC
mbatistastarted grow question 4 years ago
Hi, i still having this problem even after down the concentration of solution for 1/4 that scheduling feeding table says. I have some measurements listed in the week 10. Maybe my media is buffering PH and EC because i used to recycle it over times?

hey there Mbatista, measuring EC of runoff from soil medium is totally useless as you can see from your readings. You're doing everything correctly but the problem is the EC/PPM meter measures particles and their conductivity right? so there's plenty of soil particles that are minerals in the run off so you're measuring (also) that more than you're measuring actually the run off from your input. It's an interesting experiment to make, but it doesnt tell you anything about the runoff you're interested in. That's one of the disadvantages of soil ! your grow looks perfect , just a tiny bit overwatered... Hope this helps ! 🚀

I would guess there is something about the soil. maybe because of it's age. I would definitely make a new mix in your next grow. The best bet now is to play with the numbes and always measure when feeding/watering. good luck, pal!

Tabla de cultivo BiobizzEn la tabla de cultivo de biobizz recomiendan no comenzar con los fertilizantes hasta que la planta no tenga 10-15 cm o 2-4 hojas, pero también indican la aplicación de sus productos desde la semana 1. ¿A qué se refiere? ¿7 días tras la germinación o tras tener las 2-4 hojas?

Mám stan 1m² a v něm 9x11L květináče. Po zalití s 10-20% odtokem vody mám problém s vlhkostí vzduchu až 75%RH.Vlhkost mimo stan je 55%. Udělal jsem pro snížení vlhkosti vše (včetně přečtení všech grow questions na toto téma).Otázka je: jak ovlivní menší zálivka výslednou kvalitu?a year ago

Does adding extra PK in an organic grow extend curing time ? Thanks !My friend that uses Biotabs nutrient as I do achieved a better taste than I did on our AMS Wedding cake seeds. Tastes a bit like mustard whereas his is tasty even though they were all dried just 2 weeks ago. My leaves were always dark green , Maybe adding PK wasn't necessary ?

Mykorrhiza ohne umtopfen?ich benutze BioTabs Mycotrex und habe deswegen meine Autoflower zu erst im kleinen Topf gesetzt, um sie dann beim Umtopfen in den finalen Behälter mit diesen Pilzen zu impfen. Hierzu werden 5g des Pulvers mit in das Pflanzloch gegeben. Gibt es für Autoflower eine bessere Methode?

Hi. Is it worth putting my 5 in plastic pots into their fabric pots ?? After all the advice I’m going to try doing one day where I feed them, next day light watering, 3rd day, water to run off then start again. Strange because when I didn’t feed for 3 days, they came on better

Why does coco nutes often only have one A B blend, instead of 2 seperate Veg and Bloom blends?I personally use Plagron nutes in coco, hence I use the same A+B bottles for veg and flower.
When looking at nutes for soil they have the 2 different bottles for veg vs bloom.
So my question here is why does it seem like some coco lines(plagron, canna) only have 1 over both?Setup. Substrates
