i did a full res change which the chart everyone uses for these kinds of fluctuations in hydro suggested. The verdict was full res change possible acid rain effect. So i did a full res change. Getting the ec down from 2.2 ish to 1.6 which is stable for RDWC. but it drank damn near all the water already (2-3 days) and the ec is back at 2.2-2.4 ph 5.7 and im using a 27 gallon res outside the tent with a chiller set to 68 def F
No the water level is dropping like CRAZY, they are drinking and drinking roots look great, and the plants look great. I calibrate the ph meter bi-weekly or at most monthly. I use a Bluelab guardian. can I even calibrate EC on that??
DAY TIME H/L AVERAGES:
TEMP: 86 / 75 deg F
RH: 60.5% / 40.6%
NIGHT:
TEMP: 72.8 low / 78.6 max deg F
RH- 49.7% / 57.7%
Two things to note:
I have a combo AC / DEHUEY that worked fine last grow but entered itself into this mode that threw it off my schedule my last temp/rh was perfect but i just caught and fixed it.
second, I have a small dehuey im putting back in today, it only intakes 2 cups per day or 8oz. night time temps running around
