EC and PH down
Heman17started grow question 4y ago
Thanks for the response! I am confused why I need to treat it like it’s a hydro set up. I’m using 60% coco, 20% perlite, 20% earthworm castings.
Also, my EC is around 600 but when I use PH down if goes up ALOT. Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks

To add to what I said. I'm using biobizz ph down. When added to water it raises my PPM (EC) about 200ppm but when mixed with my batch of 900ppm it more or less stays the same. So it only affects plain water, that's if your using biobizz.

Coco is a type 9f hydro pal. You are thinking of aeroponics. And you mean your PPM is 600 it's impossible to reach 600EC. 600 is very low it should be between 9-1400 For a plant of that age. Nope your not doing anything wrong. I'll look through properly now and message u on chat

any other feeding recommendations?For my next grow I'm gonna do something very similar. I used Canna A+B, with about 8 feeds of PK and a little Cannazym. Does anyone know what else I could use to supplement the feeding, preferably from Canna? My main issue is the looseness of buds.Week 22

Runoff PPMCan't really find a solid simple answer to this question anywhere.. Should my runoff PPM be half of inflow, the same, or something in between? I imagine there's a different answer whether doing feed/feed or feed/water, I'd really appreciate it if someone could map this out a bitWeek 4
