Drastic rise in ppm using top drip in hydroton
TopDrippinPimpstarted grow question 4 years ago
Hey... i am having a problem with my top drip on hydroton (week 1). My ppm rises dramatically over a day and a half. Im talking 300ppm to 800ppm.
Hydroton has been rinsed well before use. I have run dwc and rdwc before in hydroton without any problems. Anyone have an idea?
Thank

I'm guessing top drip system, dripping into a DWC? Does the pump only turn on when the drip is running? Meaning, is the water in the bottom of the pots not circulating independently unless the pump turns on and increases the water level from the top, causing the water to move from the DWC back into the reservoir. When this was happening to me, PH and PPM would fluctuate whenever the drip pump would turn on. How frequently are you running the drip system? 15 minutes an hour while the light is on?

Soil Amount Heavily DecreasedHello everyone, I'm almost at the end of my first grow and I've noticed that the amount of soil in my pots compacted pretty heavily. How do I avoid this problem in my next grow? (Pictures show the beginning and the current state of the soil; ~ -7cm soil height)

PH-Problems in SoilBefore repotting, the pH value in the soil has always fallen to below 5.5. The plants always have an iron deficiency. I then repotted the plants and that worked well for 14 days. Now they are showing PH deficits again. The soil has PH 5,4 -4,8. What could be the reason?

Overwatered cubes in hydro? Too close to the sun? or effect of having addHi All, I have issues with my first hydro grow - i effed up. I think i was too slow in the transfer over in the tank. Light is 200 PPFD, EC at 0.6, and barely added any nutes.
Did i manage to overwater some of these plants by having them too close to the net pot?8 months ago

What and why?What are these and do I need to address it?
I'm a couple of weeks in to my grow and just spotted these little critters when I was cleaning my run off saucers. I'm guessing there's more inside the soil are they harmful to my plants?

Mold on soilI used BioBizz LightMix with Monsterbud Mix from Amnesia and some mycorrhiza in the hole of the seed. 3 seeds after 3 days still not germinated in soil. Had foil on top of the pots for humidity. Probably watered a bit too much. What should I do and will my seeds still germinate?

Hope this is ok to post, looking at having a go at hydro on my next grow mainly to cut down on maintenance. What are people’s thoughts on the two systems one is stranded bubble the other one has a dripper I’m guessing will help at beginning of the grow. Thoughts please 🤙
