<span class="link_user">@StickyDiary</span>, It took a little trial and error to get the right amount of time, at the right level (1-10), and the right amount of time between each 'monitoring'. I use a 15 gallon reservoir which I usually only fill from 5 to 10 gallons max. In that range the right settings for me is 2 seconds, at Level 1 , with 30 minute intervals between readings/adjustments.
<span class="link_user">@StickyDiary</span>, I use 2 AC Infinity peristaltic pumps with the new ACI Hydro Sensor. The Hydro sensor tracks PH and EC. I use an automation within the ACI Controller AI+ to set the high and low limits. When the AI+ controller detects I'm out of range it releases either PH Up or Ph Down as needed to get the reservoir back within limits. Saves me a TON of time. No more measuring Ph each morning and then adjusting.
<span class="link_user">@StickyDiary</span>, I use a short dark period before harvest to reduce plant stress and allow the metabolism to slow down. During darkness the plant consumes remaining sugars and moisture, which can help improve smoothness and overall quality. Itās not mandatory, but Iāve had good results with it in previous runs.:blush:
