    I really need some hydro help... feeling super discouraged and confused!

    Well, I do add it first and stir well but I'm not waiting. How long should I wait? I'm adding a half an ml to my 4.5 gallon reservoir. I'll post pictures! Although it looks worse now. If this plant were in my garden, I'd say she was going to die.

    I really need some hydro help... feeling super discouraged and confused!

    Actually 6ml of each bottle for the 4.5 gallon reservoir total! Not for each gallon... so like 1.3 ml per gallon! And my EC keeps rising! Every chart I reference says that if the EC rises to drop EC.. And I'm no pro either obviously lol but my hard water measured about 380 EC our of the...

    I really need some hydro help... feeling super discouraged and confused!

    Hey guys.. so in the past 7 weeks I've managed to kill a seedling, a month old plant and it looks like I'm about to kill my 7 week old flowering auto. I've got a 10 day old seedling who is doing ok (for the moment) but I'm feeling less than confident. I just can't get my system in order! So...

    EC keeps rising! Plant won't eat!

    Just wanted to add to my first post that the ph has drifted upward perfectly from about 5.2 last night to 6 this afternoon. So that part's going well, if nothing else!

    EC keeps rising! Plant won't eat!

    I am using RO water. I was using hard well water previously. The well is on my own property in the country. The RO water is from a filtration system that I purchased a few years ago. It is a very high-end RO system that I use for drinking water.

    EC keeps rising! Plant won't eat!

    Ok, so it's my first grow and I have managed to make just about every mistake in the book. This little auto, 2vast 2fast, is somehow still alive in spite of me... although she's not looking too pretty. So, here is where I am. She is being grown in a dwc 6 gallon bucket under a 300 watt blurple...

    This poor plant. I'm the worst mom. Any advice?

    Well that's good to hear! Do you think my idea to significantly lower the EC (400ish) on this next reservoir fill is good?

    How soon do you start nutes for seedlings grown in rockwool?

    When you refer to aero units, do you mean aerogarden type setups? I have one that I grow lettuce in but I've wondered how it would work for seedlings/clones.

    How soon do you start nutes for seedlings grown in rockwool?

    Great. Thank you. Mixed up a light batch with 0.1 EC to get her rolling!

    How soon do you start nutes for seedlings grown in rockwool?

    I'm thinking he's using something other than rockwool, or perhaps his water is just really amazing naturally!?!? What would you suggest rkymtnman? Eager to see what you think. You've helped me a lot.

    How soon do you start nutes for seedlings grown in rockwool?

    In rockwool? I thought rockwool had zero nutrients and so it all had to be provided. And they don't have any deficiencies? Have you done this with autos? They have such a short life cycle!

    How soon do you start nutes for seedlings grown in rockwool?

    This has probably been asked a million times but no amount of search queries will get me to the answer I'm looking for so forgive my newbie question. I've got a seedling just emerging from rockwool. I soaked the rockwool in PH corrected water but aside from that I have not provided any...

    Implementing your advice: Am I doing it right?

    This is great! Thank you so much! I'm going to screenshot it for later. I was wondering what kind of EC drop I should expect from day to day. So far my roots look great.. so, I've got one thing going right! Thank you again!

    Switched to RO water from hard water, PH dropping, EC rising, water dropping slowly

    Mine says both ppm and ec, fortunately, so need for math! (Thank goodness, too!)

    Thank you for the excellent video. I've watched it and have taken notes. Lots of great info in there!

    Switched to RO water from hard water, PH dropping, EC rising, water dropping slowly

    One more question, when I do my next reservoir change do I need to add fewer nutrients than I did previously? Was that my problem?

    Switched to RO water from hard water, PH dropping, EC rising, water dropping slowly

    Ok. so when you say .5 or .6 is that equivalent to 500-600 on the reader? Sorry for such basic questions.. I've only had the meter a week and am still learning. Ok on the ph. I'll add more RO and see how that affects the ph and take it from there! Thank you!
