ok ok I got held up with findopey for a bit...now i'll go check it.
And you will get that with botanicare, but what drops is usually stuff that is already saturated in the res. I have it also but it doesn't really affect the ppm count in the big picture.every time I ran botanicare...which was for like three years there would always be a bunch of shit on the bottom of my rez.
maybe, but I do recall having to add nutes several times during a rez life to maintain my levels. I also attributed the serious root problems I had to this extra junk. this is just an educated guess though...nothing concreteAnd you will get that with botanicare, but what drops is usually stuff that is already saturated in the res.

7.2-7.4 is the human body ph..i'm gonna say since 7.0 is considered neutral she's correcting herself?Started growing in aero about a month ago & started giving them nutrients about 3 weeks ago. Growth took off quickly and near the end of last week I had to keep adding ph down to regulate it but figured since nutrient levels were very low -300ppm-maybe too lo for ph buffers to help much. Changed out the reservior Friday night & mixed up nutrients to 500ppms and it's the same thing- I read that aero growers like Stinkbud use very high ppms as compared to DWC grows like I am accustomed to but worried about nute burn...should I jack it up to 1000+ ppms now that the plants are getting a bit larger? Do plants in aero use up the nutrients really fast due to the abundance of o2 they receive? Or could there be some other issue affecting ph?
