What brand of nutrients are you running with? And I couldn't help but notice that old oil space heater you have there. That thing has to draw what... like 12 amps? And are you plants sitting on buckets for drainage or for a bottom feeding system?

Thanks for the tips. I think I will go pick up a thermometer today... I have been trying to keep my room as humid as possible by running 2 humidifiers. So most of the day the room is between 55-65%. I've heard a lot of good things about bottom feeding but I haven't actually looked into it.

Nice looking plants you got there. That's what I want! I was hoping to feed once a day till run off. Especially this early in veg. I transplanted them a week ago to coco (from a DWC system) and I have only fed them 3 times now. Once on the day of the transplant, again 3 days later and then...

From what I've read, canna coco doesn't need to be mixed. I currently don't have a temp gage in my reservoir but perhaps I should invest in one. My res is currently in the room with the plants but away from the lights. I'm assuming the water is on the warmer side since the room is between 82...

I am growing in coco for my first time using the canna coco nutrient lineup. I'm in about week 3 of veg and I'm starting to see signs of what looks like a magnesium deficiency. Currently my ph is at 6.1 and my ppm is at 550. Also, the leaves are starting to droop a bit so I'm assuming that...

That's the first I've heard of there being a difference in ph up/down. I will definitely look into this. Much appreciated.

I flushed my buckets several times to get as much of the nutrients as possible out of circulation then ran just ph'd water for 24 hours. The plants definitely responded well but my ph still drops way too fast. It went from 6.1 to 5.0 in less than 24 hours. So frustrating...

I was thinking 48 hours. I guess I'll just see how they are doing tomorrow and go from there. I'm just about to drain the buckets now. Thanks for the advice. I'll probably do a follow up post in case you or any one else is curious to if things went well or not.

Yeah my ph stays between 5.5 and 6.0

Yeah I go off of the bottles/website. I went full on with the instructions one time and I think that's why I'm still having issues and that was 2 weeks ago. This is my first grow so it's a learning process and I knew there would be plenty of complications along the way. Everything was...

Agreed. Everyone seems to be saying the same thing. I'm gonna go with quite a bit less on my next feed. Although I'm already mixing up half of the recommended amount. Nevertheless, I'll try even less next feed.

2,200 is ridiculous! And my plants definitely showed it. I went with roughly 850 ppm in my last res but still encountered the same issue. I'll try to drop it down just a bit more.

Thanks for the info. My res does have a bit of a temp fluctuation issue due to its location (outside). But with that said it always stay within a reasonable range from the initial ppm reading. It's always just an increase in the 5 gallon buckets. Thanks for the advice with the Wet Betty...

Hey everyone/anyone who will listen! I have a recirculating DWC setup with 10 plants going. I am currently in the start of week 5 in flower and I am getting some serious nute burn! The plants are drinking up a ton of water but it seems as though they aren't taking in all of the nutes. I have...

As the title of the thread states this is my first time growing with a DWC setup and not only that but I've only assisted in previous grow ops. Anyway here is the quick back story... I started this DWC op with a friend where he grows the veg cycle and I grow the flower cycle. We jumped a few...
