Ethos Banana Hammock comparative(exodus thread)

So when I’m topping with distilled I don’t need to raise ppm up with it ? Or should I be letting it drop and then kick it back up in a couple days .

Everybody does it different, I'm sure.

I don't add nutes til the feeding starts to slow, 10ppm in 12hrs, down to 4-5ppm in 12hrs. That way I know most of what I put in there is used up, so when I swap out a gallon or 2 for fresh, most of the waste goes out with the old and doesn't sandbag my ppm.

I’m down to 220 from the 320ish it started out from .
 
Not really criticizing... just diff strokes for diff folks, mj is so flexible....

And, a shout out to you for helping identify how to tell wazzup with pH and ppm...

Saaaa-lute!

Nah, I know what you mean. Nutes aren't priority to me either as nutes, until they are.

I like the trio because it's easy to balance ph with them and you can dial in exactly what you want. That and they add calcium and magnesium right in lol.

Thanks.

Yea my bad for the questions. Trying to get an understanding on exactly what is what .the plant seems fine as hell . Squat tight ass plant . On 6 or 7 node .
 
Right now, with your ph dropping, you probably have mostly waste in there (root sugars/acids and bonded elements).

Are there times when you guys actually dump the bucket entirely instead of adding to the bucket daily?

i'm assuming if the plant starts behaving off/weird is a good reason - but anything else aside from root rot etc?

I do a swap and sterilization before flip, but you don't have to. You can run the same res start to finish. I've done both, but they get a nice root pruning right before stretch so it just makes sense for me to clean up.
