Now how high do I bump it? This is where I’m confused not on this. When I got everything on track my ppm was 460 last Thursday. Yesterday evening I was at 370. So when I taper off am I bumping back to 460?

Yup. Until it tells you that 460 isn't enough, keep it there.

Ahh I get it now. So I need to make up a jug of super strong nute solution for the nute top off right? I mean I guess I could squirt it straight into the bucket. When I got my reservoir to 460 it was 2.5 Ml of each of the trio per gallon. So I take a 1 gallon jug and do the 2.5 per gallon at like 5 times the strength so like 12.5 ml of each of trio into a gallon to maintain my ratios but use it to bring my soup ppm up. Right?

Trying to use the adapter you listed lol . All good :

What happened? Get linked to the wrong part......?

this is where i fucked up. the plant doesn't follow any schedule. if you keep pumping nutes in there with the assumption of just getting the PPM back up to a specific number you run the risk of locking things out. i kept pumping calmag in with each refill of water and next thing i know she's screaming for calmag but i've got plenty in there!! lockout.

So what’s the solution?

Just spent 20 on a banger. Dude didn’t bubble wrap it. Got out of car. Straight onto the gravel and busted before ever I sticking it in piece.


That’s the story of my life folks. Black cloud follows my skull.

So what’s the solution?

mine is this

each week we have to do a certain mix right? it changes weekly... so we have to change the bucket weekly.

following @3rd Monkey's instructions, i will top her off each night with fresh water each night and remeasure ppm and ph

unless she's really eating everything in the container and showing deficiencies i think i'm going to just nute the bucket once a week. on day 7 of the week i'm gonna pump out the bucket, and put fresh shit in that night

This seems like the most logical thing to do. As well as the easiest doesn’t have me playing the guessing game.

sucks man... i got my banger from here:

https://bazaardude.com/collections/quartz-nails-bangers-enails-more

he used to sell cheap on ebay till he got kicked off ebay.. he said this in an email:

With the unfortunate policy changes at Ebay, and as we’re sure you’ve noticed, our products on a large scale have been banned from their platform due to their “on a whim” rule changing.

yeah i was hoping you'd agree - i think this is best path forward. then you can visually see the ppm's dropping daily and you can chart it to visually see how much she's eating daily - if shes progressing linearly you can almost predict the next feed cycle - i'm hoping it pans out that way!

Well. You just linked me to the most assorted banger site in the world for sure. Much appreciated. Was gonna go the eBay route. But now I’ll try this. Thanks.

 

[Moabfighter]

Trying to do too much too fast on that DWC but I’m dumb so.

he doesn't sell them anymore it seems, but the quartz bangers i bought from him were thermochromic

heat the bottom until the thermochromic piece turns orange - if it hits red you've gone too far... eventually cools back to yellow when safe to touch

No doubt! And as the plant begins to be hungry I can bump the ppm. I’m with you. Makes it a lot easier to not BeN guessing.

Idk looks just fine to me. Shits been putting on height daily and feeding just as it should. Nice and healthy.

Too many choices to pick from.... sent my ole lady the link and told her I needed 14mm male. Surprise me.

Saw this on GC and kinda wanted to talk about it a little. Dude at The hydro shop swore “orrrrr instead of all these bottled nutes you can top dress these soil amenders and never really have to give your plants anything......”

Thought he was wack. Looked at him as such.... I did. But apparently there’s something to loading your soil with what the plant will want/eat, without burning it up?

That’s what I use in all my soil grows is dry amendments. Allows you to continuously use the same soils. Gotta got it with cone microbes to keep the happy but I went 6 cycles on the same dirt. You can top dress mid Grow and it will negate ever needing bottled nutes.

Banana Hammock day.... who fucking knows lmao.
