For an auto, was it worth your effort? Looks great man.

Yes however lesson learned since I’m hand feeding I’ll only do two next time with the coco DTW. That way everything matches

I’ve got 2 gallon buckets I feed from, my airpots are 2 gallon, and so running two at a time vs 3 or more would be a lot less work. Unless I hooked it to an automatic system like my hempys.

All in all worth my time. I was looking for 1-2 zips per plant minimum and I’ll achieve that no problem especially without fuck ups.

Sorry guys. I’ve been sick this passed week. Dropped my phone in puke and lost my email info as well as login for RIU. Well I’m back and banana hammock in soil is alive and ready to start growing. My hydro shop closed up unexpectedly and I can’t find Tupur anywhere so I may be making the switch to Promix

Here’s the flower room. I think the stretch is just about done

One last thing (not really) so my higher ppm would be the 100 ppm of cal mag and 100 ppm of the other 3 combined ?

You lost me.

Say you put 1ml of cal magic in 1 gallon of water. You get 100ppm.

Now, you put 1ml of micro in a different 1 gallon of water. Say you get 90 ppm.

When you mix up a batch of nutes at 1ml each, say you have 350ppm overall, you'll know that 100ppm of that is cal mag and 90ppm is micro.

So, if you encounter a deficiency of N, you'll know that 90ppm wasn't enough and you can bump it up to 120ppm, without bumping the other 2 (bloom and gro), reducing your chance of overkilling P or K.

If you get a calcium lockout, since micro has calcium in it, you know you can back off your calmag by 40 or 50ppm.

It's so you can tailor nutrition. Getting it yet?

He should be because I’m dumb as a brick and it’s starting to come to me.

Not so much with my only running “a veg nute” though. I’m not adding anything individually except I guess i have to get cal mag.

Right. Honestly, you might need other additives if your plants want it. Only downside to 1 part.

What is it again lol? I'll check it out quick.
 
Get that part . Part I’m kinda stuck on is I take 3 1 gal of water . Drop 1ml each in separate bottles . Take ppm . Write on bottle . So now I take a ml or how ever much out of each gal and add to res to I get a ppm of 150-200 ? Do I add cal mag to its own gal ?

Oh ok. My bad.

Yes, cal mag to its own gallon.

That's 4 gallons total. Dump it in a 5 gallon bucket, mix it really good, ph it, and check ppm. Should be pretty close to all the individual ppm added together.

Say it's 400 ppm, you want 200. Take 2 and a half gallons out of your res, add 2 and a half gallons of your nute mix, then top off with plain ph'd water. Should get you ballpark.

If you need more ppm, take some out of your res and replace with your nute solution.

If you need less ppm, take some out of your res and replace with ph'd plain water.

Forgot a gal . Only have 3 gal . No extra bucket to mix in and I thought you would just take a little out of each gal and put in a res till you get the ppm of 200 .
 
This is the skunk . Idk what’s wrong with it . Been this way from the start . Roots are way stronger than the bh .

If you do it that way, it's going to take a long time and you'll have unequal parts most likely. You can try it.

You don't have anything that'll hold 4 gallons lol? Storage tub? Garbage can?

You only need 1 gallon jug to do it. Mix it up, write it on paper, dump it in bucket. Next gallon, write it down, dump in bucket.

I can conjure something up . I only have the 3 gallons of distilled water . I’ll be short one for the cal mag .
