think you just need to ph in hydro?
yeh fo sure,, well they say coco is hydro,, me i class it as soil,which it is,anyways, yeh ph in rockwool,my coco i get them briks and break em down, they hold ph so i just make sure the water i break them down with is ph adjusted,then your golden for the whole grow.

If your not PHing and your having problems then its wise to check just wtf your PH is.
out of the tap its 7 but i did the coco with ph'd water at the start so shouldnt need to do it again, the coco goes in the bin after each grow anyways unless i try a reveg lol

Mine is shit, 600ppm out the tap.
RO all the way for me. I'm not concerned to much over the pH as I'm an organic grower.
The PPM's is far more of a concern cause it kills my micro-heard of beneficial bacteria.
Buffer me soil with dolomite lime and add in Azomite and oyster shell to bring in the Ca/Mg. All good.

I check my my ph every nute batch i mix to make sure, takes like 15 seconds hardly difficult. Because theres lads not PHing ic3 means fuck all, Theres probably alot more growers PHing then there isnt. Its your grow mate you've put the time and effort into it so dont take chances mate, feeding at the correct PH will eliminate alot of your problems.

Well he's closer to me than anybody and my water comes out of the tap at 8.2 (I've just tested it) and "once ya foods in" takes no consideration as to how much food mate.

^^ Exactly, although I don't pH my water, as Jimmy says, its the first thing I check if I got issues somewhere.

The medium PH changes as the plant uptakes different nutes in different amounts at different times, just because growers give X amount of 'A' and Y amount of 'B' in week 5 means nothing, the plant is not necessarily going to use exactly what it is given by human intervention.
The ideal PH range for hydro/coco is 5.8. 1 point too low at 5.7 and Magnesium starts to lockout, 1 point too high at 5.9 starts to lead to Phosphorus and Calcium deficiencys.
Nobody can grow cannabis to it's full potential without proper PH, somebody thinking they are a good grower doesn't negate Biological fact.

That's no good mate.
You need to find out what your coco PH is and the only way to do that is to measure the PH of your run off (which in your and my case means taking the plants to the bath to water them).
If the run off PH comes OUT wrong then you need to put it IN different to adjust accordingly, just the same way you would give a child milk after it accidentally drinks bleach.

In future your better off soaking the coco in ph'd water first mate for a day or 2, dude I know does that with his coco.

depends where your venting out of man, i use an airbrick but the chimney flu is your best option, doesn't look suspect at all but you'll need to tap into the flu either in the house or the loft which is a bit of a give away for anyone poking around.
I stand corrected that is cheap as fuck.
