Hydroponic RDWC growing problem
Mismeystarted grow question 4 months ago
Hi ,im using RDWC ,with 10 part GH nutrients , water always at 5.87 pH . Last flowering i used EC at 2.0 level and it was fine , ph stayed at normal level , but now in this flowering it goes down ( this means ec is too high right?) and works well with 1.2 EC, what's the problem?

EC (ions dissolved in water) is related slightly to pH (proton-donators and proton-acceptors dissilved into water) but is not pH. you could have a very high EC and be very basic or acidic. A good soilless/hydro fertilizer should be ph-buffered and resistant to pH drift.
The concentration of your fertilizer could be related to VPD. IF the VPD is higher this cycle, that could be why the plant needs a lower concentration. Also, could be genetics related.
The key is it is working well? Growth is similar and healthy? then, you are fine.
Try using jacks 321 hydro setup. I bet you don't have pH-drift with that product.

Curious if anyone else has experienced leaves like this on Durban’s. I know I’ve seen leaves like this when temps get cool outdoors but all flower sugar leaves are turning. Watered regularity and fed well in my opinion, so I’m not sure what else it could be. Thanks in advance!Week 10

Any advice on what’s the best growing technique to optimize bud production?
I’ve seen so many techniques but they seem to be mostly for indoor, or to have a bushy plant that doesn’t grow in height. But I don’t mind the height, so which technique you guys think is best? ThanksWeek 5

Hello everyone ! Is it possible to harvest an autoflo in two times ? I mean, if I cut the upper half of my Dwarf will the tiny lower buds continue to grow ?
( I’ve never done any cutting or any LST on this plant )
Thanks a lot for your answers and enjoy your grow !Week 10

Yellow in the leaves, I've been feeding until runoff on a Sun - Tues - Thurs and just letting it sit in-between. Feeding with a 1.8 EC solution and my runoff starts at 800ppm and then drops down to 500 by the time it's finished.

Necrotic Leaves caused by Calclium defficiencies. Should they be removed or should they be left on. I removed them from my plant. It appears to have been caused by a PH spike while I was away for 2 days. Plant seems to be recovering, but I removed the leaves yesterday. Thanks.Week 3
