How do i avoid this issue?

Notacrimeyostarted grow question 3 years ago

Hello growers, I'm new to hydro, how do i avoid all of this crazy foam forming (it tends to come ouuta the bucket for about 30min, then it disappears). Is my ph down solution bad? Also, it tends to fluctuate from ph6.0 to 7++ in a couple of hrs. Why? Thanks.

Na that’s not normal, not that I’ve ever seen. And those fluctuations aren’t good either. You don’t maintain a diary so we have no information beyond the couple sentences these questions allow you to input. 🤷‍♂️

I bet you have some clean ass roots😂 maybe get some nutes that automaticly change the ph and another tip. Mix your solution in some big clean jerrycans an hour or so before adding it

You are getting a chemical reaction. Use a phosphorus ph down. Don't mix brands of chemicals.

Why does coco nutes often only have one A B blend, instead of 2 seperate Veg and Bloom blends?I personally use Plagron nutes in coco, hence I use the same A+B bottles for veg and flower. When looking at nutes for soil they have the 2 different bottles for veg vs bloom. So my question here is why does it seem like some coco lines(plagron, canna) only have 1 over both?

Exit EC in peat and perlite Variety of opinions in the landscape with regard to watering to run-off when growing in peat or coco and perlite. Of course that makes testing exit EC a challenge. Asking for opinions - are the EC meters that have a probe to read substrate EC/salts any good? Is that the solution?

High ppm in drainage I flushed coco two times with 8-10 litres with CalMag (200 ppm) and it does not help. You can see in my comments to the last weeks of the diary that it doesn't matter how much ppm I water the plant, it is always 2-3 times more ppm in drainage.What should I do?

I’m out of BioHeaven I’m out of Bio-Heaven and I wonder whether it’s worth getting some more, given that I’ll probably flush the plants within a few weeks and only use water then. Plus it’s quite expensive compared to BioGrow, BioBloom or TopMax… Any ideas or maybe an organic substitute? Thanks!
