Good stuff Moab. I got love for all you guys. You are doing grows, and things I hope to get to one day. Its hard for me to really dial into something and speak confidently about it, because I just don't have the experience. I try and listen genuinely to each of you, as you are all successful growers. Maybe one day I'll decide... "Hell, I'm going to grow some in soil. "
24 plants is a lot to take care of but it’s doable. With that many plants I’d automate the garden as much as possible
Yeah man. Again idk about hydro but I give my plants all the same shit. Big plants get big dose. Small plants get small dose. They’re all weed plants ya know.... some may thrive a bit better with 2% more whatever than the one next to it and so on but maybe consider a simple few two or three part nute solution for your res. This isn’t my forte but I have been reading in my spare time some.
Ppm going up and ph going down is your sign somethings off. I believe the solution here is to drop your ppms ask @3rd Monkey first though lol
Ok cool, how do I drop ppms? Do I need to do a res change?
AN is a good line but nutes are nutes. I’m using General Hydroponics for my DWC and megacrop for my coco two of the cheapest nutes you can buy. My hempys are remo nutes though which is a cheap version of AN
Someone else will answer but I THINK you can dilute with no ppm distilled water
No just scoop out some of the water with a glass and add back the same amount of RO or plain water. Are you using tap?
Microbes are always good for your plants no biggie
RO. And very very cool, I can easily do that. How often do you add hydroguard? Is it a one time thing or are you adding it regularly after you can start increasing ppms?
Thanks Moab. I think you are right. I just didn't know something this affordable existed. Those under currents and all that other stuff, is really really expensive stuff. For this kind of price, it may save me the DIY time, and get great results. I really appreciate your information. I do need to be efficient with my time, but I promise this, I'll be in the room once in the morning, and once at night at a minimum. This Big boy really scratches me where I itch
Yep. Before I ever do all that fancy stuff, I will have one of those systems first. Seems like a good starter res bucket system.
I lowered the ppms by 20 from 200 to 180. Ill check again tonight and if it jumps up again I will take like 60ppm out.
I agree strongly. Seems like its kept simple, and I can focus on my my garden. I know I"m going to have to keep checking PPM and PH but I've already got my tools for that, and I'm ready.
