Humic acid in dwc - too much

ToastiesBurnedstarted grow question 5y ago

I just put my seedling in the dwc bucket. GH nutrients. I just used the directions for a light feeding of diamond nectar, but dialed everything else back. Can too much humic acid be bad? How much is too much for a seedling?

If you are using your base nutes at 25% then dial the diamond nectar back to 25% recommend dose.

Yes it can Cause ph problems humic acid is normally at a pH of 6 . Also can cause a lockout too . just give her some fresh pH water for now and see how she goes but I'm sure she will bounce back. I iuse humic acid plus in all grows . x

First time testing PPM and slightly panicked :c Runoff was at 2200PPM. I flushed her with 5L of pH 5.8 water. I got the runoff to 1000PPM where I left it. The pH was at 7 though and was higher than before the flush. Why is that? I always pH before watering. Also, is the flush going to cause trouble for her? I kind of panicked.

Autoflower PPM Requirements - DWC I have found this plant's water/nutrient intake is equal at 350ppm right now - end week 5. I am beginning to feel after several auto grows that the ppm requirement with GH nutrients is WAY less than what the web serves up? I doubt I can push this one beyond 500ppm? (0ppm water)
