Crazy PH drop and High EC

Jfmart420started grow question 3 years ago

So I mixed a ½ gal solution but adjusted it by adding water to ⅔ gal to bring down the initial EC/ppm testing at around 1400/700. I ph to 5.8 and fed, the runoff was shy of 20% testing at PH 2.65 EC 3940 ppm 1970 Why and how to fix?

Overfeeding. Flush with regular, ph'd water until the runoff is where you want it. With your pH so low, I would run 7-7.5pH until its back where you want. When you overfeed, the plant takes up water and leaves the nutrients. Most nutrients are acidic so your runoff becomes low pH and high EC.

Hello Jfmart420, the water runoff pH should not differentiate more than +/-0.5pH from the initial pH water. The ppm value for vegetative phase should be around 450-700. Make sure that the initial pH value is around 6.2-6.5pH and also lower the nutrient concentration a bit. Good luck with your project, I wish you all the best! 👽

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

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.

Questions about watering I 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.
