Keeping nutrients longer
longearringboy420started grow question 2 years ago
I have a simple system with a pump that adds water to my coco pots once every couple of days but the nutrient solution starts separating (making a foam) after a couple of days.
Do you have solutions for this problem or nutrient suggestions? I am currently using canna coco a/b.

Keep it agitated. Have a 2nd pump keep the reservoir agitated (mixing)
Isle_of_Weedanswered grow question 2 years ago
Add an air pump to the reservoir with airstones (like the ones used for aquariums) This will keep the solution aerated and mixed all the time, ready for the next pump.

Hey unfortunately this is just what happens, in fact most nutrient manufacturers will tell you not to mix your nutes more than two days in advance for this very reason.. sorry bro

AutoPot system: moisture of the medium does not stop increasing if turned onI noticed the moisture of the medium (50% coco, 50% light mix, based on a layer of expanded clay) is getting higher and higher with the AutoPot system (now at ~45%). I stopped it for now. I'm wondering, if that is normal? What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions someone?

Problemas de ferilización?Que opinan sobre está carencia/exceso en estás plantas? Ambas tienen 4 semanas y han mostrado esos indicios solo en las hojas viejas, pienso que puede ser déficit de calcio/magnesio, aunque no controlo pH, así que es un factor que también quizás debería considerar. Que opinan?

To water or not to water, that is the question. Week 4Hello everyone. Today I've noticed that the leaves of the biggest plant are drooping a little. I think it is due to under watering because the smallest of the 3 is standing firm. The soil seemed to be dry for a whole finger so I watered a little. Could someone please confirm?

Bottom water absorption system cultivationI cultivate a bottom water absorption system in a 25L pot, but I am troubled with EC management every time. Since it is raised with 165w LED light, it is fun to determine the limit that does not burn.
Please tell us when to raise your EC.
