EC madness!!!!
mmmlovelytomatoesstarted grow question 3 years ago
About EC. Er...confusing eh? So, if I feed with 1200 and it comes out 2000, I need to lower the feed until it comes out 1600? And if I feed at 1200 and it comes out at 1400 I can increase? Right? Is the whole point of this to give the plant as much feed as she can take?

Yes it is to feed your plants from the top and know what's at the roots as well. For coco a ppm of 800, 1.6 ec is a good range for photo period plants. 600ppm 1.2 ec is good level for autos. If you check your runoff waters ph and ec level and their going way past that level, you know lockout is just around the corner so you run some plain water through to lower it back to acceptable levels. If EC is getting low you know to increase a little same with ph. Always stay in range for trouble free grows. Cheers

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.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

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

Help: potential over fertilisation or over waterningI used Biobizz bio grow, 2ml/L and sprayed them more than usual. The tip of the leaves is getting yellow. 2 plants have the leaves pointing down and seem more textured and tick. The other 2 (the biggest) seem better, but the yellowing of the leaves is more evident.

Questions about wateringI 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.

Turned off the air stone for an hour, no change so likely not acid rain situation. Ph upโd, plant never showed signs of being unhappy. Thoughts?
