Unstable pH and ppm in run off
Scilefstarted grow question a year ago
Why run off mixture has stable high pH and doubled ppm?In 6.1 500 ppm Out 6.4 1020 ppm (each watering for the last week)I use Top Crop Coco substrate prepared with 0.2 g/L nutrients, how long will it affect run off ppm value?

Hola esta en los parámetros correctos 6.4 esta bien y los ppm en 1000 tampoco es mucho. Si haces un lavado de raíces quitaras todos los nutrientes del sustrato. Si piensas que es alto el ec en tu nivel de drenaje solo riega con agua hasta que baje un poco. Pero para mi esta perfecto

You likely be dealing with salt buildup around the roots. As you feed your plants, this buildup slowly dissolves back into your runoff, driving up your PPM/EC, To deal with this, you need to flush to clean up the salt 🍻

How many and how large plants in a 4x2 tent for a quick veg/flowering?How many plants could I have in a 4x2 tent? I would like to reduce veg and flowering time, so would that mean I should go for more plants? I've got 3x 11 liter / 3 gallon Gronest fabric pots and can get more pots. Also, are the nutrients noted in the grow suitable for coco?Setup. Substrates

Coco Coir Watering1st time coco coir: How does 500 ml of water for a 5 liter grow bag sound? Significant other and I tested with a 4th bag to try to get a feel for how much water impacts the weight of the bag and the amount of run-off water. We felt confident, but here for 2nd opinions, advice.Other. General questions

A question for the bag growers. I was underwatering and too often so started watering until getting some runoff. A problem I have is that before the water flows out the bottom it starts leaking from along the sides. making it difficult to judge how much is actually runoff.Feeding. Other

Co² tabs for water feedingDo you have experience with CO² tabs? This manufacturer says 1 tab is enough for 100L (=26 gal). The particles attach to the water and uptake is through the roots.
They said overdosing is not possible but should be cautious with PH of the water, also after adding fertilizers.

General questions about my growBased on week 5 of my grow, does it sound like I'm on track with nutrients? Any advice on LST or defoliation? The plants struggled since I planted them so I wary of stressing them out. The only thing I'm doing at this point is tucking the leaves so the bud sites get more light.2 years ago

Homemade inputs???What do yall think of my diary?
All homemade inputs, I invest literally less than 20 bucks in my inputs in the entire grow. I want to prove to you all that you do not need to drop money on bottled nutes, remember bottles are for babies. Challenge me? Just look at my diary

What to do? Where am I at now actually? I’m lost and slightly discouragedWhen should I add happy frog fruit and bloom? This is my 3rd grow and im 0-2! I have a overfeeding problem but I’ve learned to be corrective and precise with ph and ppm and be pest preventative as well (heavy handed waterer as well..im trying). It’s day 5 of flower and I’m lost

Plain water between a few feeds? Smaller doses? (To prevent nutrient burn)So I was wondering (medium is light-mix from Plagron): I've been feeding a full dose of nutes every watering up until now. Would ya'll recommend giving plain water in between every few feeds, or dosing down to be cautious? I don't want to be too late... That happened last grow.Week 7
