I’ve been flushing for 2 weeks. At what TDS runoff level do you harvest the plant?
The_Good_Twinstarted grow question 3 years ago
I’ve been flushing my plant with properly pH’ed water for the last 2 weeks. Today the TDS runoff was 530 ppm. What is the appropriate TDS level to reach BEFORE harvesting the plant? What is a good TDS runoff level to determine if it’s good to harvest or not?

I’m rescinding the question. I decided to go ahead and harvest the plant, which is currently hanging up to dry. My TDS had decreased from almost 3000 ppm at the beginning to 530 ppm at the two week flush point. I asked the owner of a hydroponics shop in my town, and he said that I should be good to go, so I did. I appreciate the grower “hashy” for his or her response to my question. Thank you.

I usually do it until I see consistent levels. When mine gets to about an Ec of 0.4 it will hang at that for a while and not really go down anymore. That usually takes about a week to week and a half. Then I'll use distilled water for a few waterings and this will usually get it down to Ec 0.3 and then it's been usually 2 weeks and I'm happy to chop.

Bad ph water, it bounces like a pogo stickMy city water supply sucks. The ph rises and falls in such a wide range that it is difficult to keep up to what it needs to level out the ph. I have seen 5.8 up to 8.9 just in the last month.
Is there a cheaper method than using the standard PH down?Week 8

Cheap Bennies?Looking for a cheap alternative to Orca/Recharge/Mic. Mass/Tarantula or something to make crazy root growth in DWC and keep root rot at bay. Would toilet compost microbes work? Pond sludge remover has helped me but I'm hoping others have ideas - I want roots like in the pic!

I stopped giving my plants Plagron Silic Rock from mid last week (week 13, week 5 flower). Can anybody tell me if I did right to cut it in flower or does anybody has experience using this nute until the end of their grow? I think this nute is just for veg and early flower.

Water uptake slowed considerably. D83 DWC Auto.Water uptake has slowed considerably this last week. From what I understand this is expected as she finishes her life cycle. Should I continue res changes at full strength or lower the nute ratio to match her uptake? Trichs are still clear/cloudy with little amber.
