Easiest automatic top feed system? Currently looki...
CRiSPrGrowanswered grow question 3 years ago
hi there Carl, you have the right idea with the top watering. Imagine putting everything on autopilot how much more you can handle, amirite? anyways usually you end up building it yourself with a few pumps , tubing and hand made rings. I dont know the chronchat system, but i've tried both bottom feeding and top feeding and i know top feeding works better, especially for things like soiless medium. so you're on the right track. hope this helps ! 🚀

Blumats and FeedingFor people who use Blumat systems, what's the procedure for mixing in nutrients/supplemental things for growth? The Blumat system pulls water when the soil dries past a certain point, so what's the best rule for feeding in that case? Shut the system "off" a few days pre feed?Week 2

Does a bottom feed watering system need to stay wet? Or can it dry out before refilling? And why? Thanks!I'm using the AC Infinity SELF-WATERING FABRIC POT BASE. I don't top feed, so does anyone know if I should let the reservoir dry out? Or, because it's a form of hydroponics, do I make sure to keep water in there all the times? Also, should I keep the nutrients constant? Thanks!Week 5

EC too high and leaf yellowEC 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?Leaves. Color - Yellow
