EC too high and leaf yellow
EC 1.45 and some yellow leaf… I adjusted the soup by adding water to it and the new leaves seem to be pretty ok. Otherwise, all other parameters are good. It’s odd bc I followed instructions of the brand (Platinium Hydroponics) and the EC lvl is still kinda high. Suggestions?

Canna boost and autopots
HI! I have a question regarding Canna Boost and autopots. Do you use it in a reservoir? The ph is rising faster in res since I added it. The nutrient solution in res also got cloudy and trays became slimy. Since I use airdromes the ph also rised too much.

Would you try continuous drip in soil with hyper oxygenated water?
Has anyone tried continuous drip with hyper oxygenated water in quality soil on recirculation? Would you ever try that? Would the oxygenated water compensate for the problem of overwatering as in DWC, but in soil? Why would you or would you not try this?

Indoor irrigation setup recommendation?
Have to leave town for a weekend, want to make sure my girls are okay. Planning on buying indoor irrigation setup on Amazon. Anyone have any recommendations? I'd get autopots but I don't want to transplant these girls I have right now. I'm ok with spending -100 if its good

Heavy overwatering by Autopot system during vacation
After 7 days of vacation and my first try of the Autopot system I noticed heaviest overwatering by the autopot. Took them immediately off the system. 3 of 4 plants felt and layed with weak stem on the ground/soil. When you watch the photos: go on (any tips?) or start from scratch

Flush bottom feed
I’m using an autopot (bottom feeding) system. They say not to flush because of the salt buildup. But is the “shock” of those salts bad or is it the salts staying in the bottom what is bad? In that case if you thoroughly flush (say 50+L in 20L pots) would that solve the problem?
