I was thinking a wood frame, same type wire, wood legs that will allow a round catch tray to slide under… keep it low as possible. Always thinking. Good starting point!

What did you make your drain tray set up from? I love building my own stuff.. can you pull out the drain trays?

I’ve been using the 3000 and appreciate the info your providing.. my latest grow I decided to give it another try and it’s doing well. What I learned from the first grow with them was an unhappy plant hate’s 100%..mine were 4wks the 14th and are developing at the same rate which is good to know...

Thanks to all.. I’ll post results with pics..✌

I totally agree. My bad habits of on 1 gal to 7 gal pots wasn’t getting any run off.. I go by the gh chart for feeding on the pro scale, so over dose isn’t likely.

I appreciate your advice, because I’m only here when I’m hitting a wall, nobody here would believe I’ve been doing this 25+ yrs.. with out guidance.. lol

Thanks for the advice, it helps to know ec can be converted from tds .. the plants pictured were at 1000 tds at run off, 650 tds going in the top. Elevating the pots over the tray will help, thanks

These are 18 days into bloom and this started day 16, hitting fast. I don’t have an ec meter, only tds and ph. I will Saturday. Assuming I have salts built up, should I flush with straight water regularly to avoid this?

My run off is 5.2-5.4 range even though I balance at 6.2.. company says it balances itself, why are we prebalancing? And if it self balanced, how can you counteract that? If you try raising it , it just slams it back down. Any thoughts?

I see ph issues, you have to have it right. Get a way to measure your ph. Check your run off and see what’s going on in your root system.. ph can ruin everything too high or too low.

Have always used promix hp , and have experienced potassium and magnesium deficiency’s that starts mid bloom leaves dying from the tip back. My plants grow excellent during veg. I can ph my water wherever I want, when you check run off, its 5.5 no matter what. It seems to cause problems during...

I’ve been using the ts 3000 for 30 days of bloom, after 20yrs with 1000 hps.. first off, the burn is easy to get even at factory recommended.. I’m 2.5 ft above the canopy now after seeing early stage of burn a 18”. My plants aren’t near as happy as my hps plants. My yealds look to be suffering...

Did some digging since over feeding didn’t fit. No burnt tips is the first clue and why I wasn’t convinced. Leaves tell the story, I know I’m gonna get slammed but I’m no newbee guys, been doin it 24/7 for 20+ years. Look at this pic of calcium dif.

So too much?
