EC del sustrato
FreshCoastOrganicsanswered grow question 4y ago
From my experience, the only thing that will lower the ec in a soil type substrate is;
Pure Water with a tds/ppm of 0. This will be either, Distilled Water, Reverse Osmosis Water or De-Ionized water.
Pure water does a good job a stripping nutrients but it will take time to do so. The plant has to feed on what’s in the soil, the 0ppm water will just guarantee you are not adding to EC of the soil.

Aerate the 1.5" of water left below the bulkhead?Building a Drip to Res with Netpot lids of Hydroton on 5 gallon buckets, and an aerated 5 gallon reservoir outside the tent. Is there any any point to aerating the 1.5" of water below the bulkhead, which doesn't drain from the bottom of the buckets?Week 14

How to get PH downHi everyone
Her run off water is around PH 7.1 so I'm watering this plant with 5.8 PHed solution (biobizz and ph down). Despite of it I am not getting down the run off PH. What should I do to solve this problem?
PS - I have already flushed her with 2.5 liters of 5.8 PH water.Week 6

PhUp P.Hydro vs. P.Carb vs. BothPotassium Hydroxide Vs. Potassium Carbonate : or Both for PH+ up.
Does one have lower EC value in solution when used?
Does ones have better stability in solution for hydro or soil?
Does one have more reactivity with other elements in the grow?
Does one have higher PH?

Can you please tell me if the sides need to be covered with earth?When I covered the soil in the beginning it wasn't like that, but after waterings the soil shrunk and now there is space between the pot fabric and the soil. Should I add more soil to avoid root problems? And also the water drains down there and quickly runs downhill 😞

Not watered for a week. Why does the soil not dry even from above?Four fabric pots of 27 liters.
Below is drainage from vermiculite, above is a layer of coconut, above is soil from peat, humus, sand and perlite, purchased. In the upper layer, perlite is twice as large.Setup. Substrates

Grow medium for BeginnerHello! Newbie Here! Can anyone recommend growing medium for a beginner? I don't care too much about flavour or yield, rather I'm looking for low-maintenance options/fool proof options. Also looking for nutrients that are somewhat easy to use and understand for that substrate.Setup. Substrates

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?1y ago

Did I need to size up to larger rockwool cubes?Geminated seeds in 1x1x1 rockwool cubes. End state is to be in 5 gallon buckets with 8" net pot and clay pebbles. I figured the roots are too small to reach all the way into water solution still so put small cubes into 4x4x4 rockwool. Did I need to use larger cubes?
