Oh never mind. My brain is clearly not keeping up. You're right, it says to lower it. There's another chart that says raise it. Let me see if I can pull it up

Yes, so that means I'd be down to 300 for a 7 week old plant? Seems really low.

Ok, so what do you think about this. I add RO tonight to get it down to .4. Retest in the am and see if it's drinking. If it goes down, maybe I was feeding too much? If it rises, assume it needs more? Maybe?

I did see some charts that said that if ph, and EC were rising, and water was stagnant to raise the EC.

Awesome. Seriously thank you. I think at this point if it just doesn't die, I'll call it a success. And just to be sure, these nute rates are good for auto plants? And increasing the nutrients suddenly is ok? Yes! I've read many replies from Rky and I agree... wondered that myself. Glad...

This was actually the first formula I planned on following at the start of my grow... then I started obsessing over EC values and got way off track. Serves me well to think! Ha! And good on the southern ag. I'll stick with that. Thank you!

1. So far the general consensus is that I'm under feeding... would that show similar symptoms to lockout? 2. Haven't seen any bugs.. anything in particular that I should be looking for? 3. I've looked at lots of pictures of root rot and while my roots seem to be stained from nutrients and...

Well shoot.. and I thought it was nute burn and overfeeding. If I add proper nutrients do you think she'll pop back?

Ok. Great. Thank you so much. This really helps. I'll start collecting RO water now. It takes me a little while with my pressure tank not being very big to collect enough. Do you think I'm okay with sticking to the 1/2 milliliter of hydroguard? It gives me a ton of relief to just follow a...

Whoa, please explain temperature compensation with the meter! This is totally new to me.

I'm doing a great job of killing plants, so maybe I'll take your challenge! Haha! Crazy thing is that I grow a huge garden, have a full orchard and vineyard and flower gardens all over my land but these suckers are really damaging my self esteem! Haha

Ok, so I used 6ml TOTAL for the cal/mag... if I went full dose, my EC went too high! Seriously, you should see my excel sheets where I figured up how much every ml would raise my EC. My brain is hurting from this, haha! I knew I was under feeding but everything pointed to nute burn/lockout and...

Do you use this rate with autos? Thinking I need to pop some photo seeds next! Ive read that autos are persnickety and I really need something forgiving!

I'll admit, I'm terrible with math! But when I was feeding full strength (half the suggested rates for general hydroponics) my EC was through the roof and I was told to drop my nutes... nute burn! I was also told that since I was growing autos, they don't need as much. Coupled with a stunted...

Ok, so I have a PPM mode and an EC. I'm referring to the one that has the weird us/cm when I refer to EC. I am given a number in the hundreds place, no decimal points. So 534 for example. I was told that some people would have a meter that reads 5.3 for the reading I have. Totally could be...

Do you think my problem is because of not waiting after adding cal/mag or something else?

Ok, I will definitely start waiting after adding cal/mag! And yes! I know I'm way under the charts, but my EC is still rising so I keep following the charts that say to drop the EC. I should add that my water levels aren't moving.

Wait, so 6ml for 4.5 gallons is too much? I add 6ml for each grow, bloom and micro to 4.5 gallons. 6ml of cal/mag too. I'd be thrilled if it were that simple.

Yes, I wasn't for the first few weeks but the last 3-4 weeks, yes. Only thing is that I wasn't waiting after adding cal/mag to add the other nutes.

Well, no, I don't have a scope but I do have a macro lens for my camera I could use. I took other close up pictures and I didn't see the little spots that were in the other picture.. so I don't know! I'll check though. And I didn't realize there was EC calibration fluid. I'll check it out!
