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

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.
