Yeah something is up. I’ve flushed before with the Rockwool but even with a plain ro water flush the ppm runoff was 350 and the ph went down to 4.5. And that’s with no nutrients. So there has to be some real bad salt buildup maybe? I don’t know what else it could possibly be that’s causing the...

This shit got me stumped man. Watered tonight with around 575ppm and then run off went up to about 650. And even worse then that that the ph went from 6.0 going in and the run off went all the way down under 5. These plants are really testing my patience haha I’m thinking there must be some sort...

Yeah I always check run off and ph every single time. I just mixed up a small batch of 575 ppm. That way I can see what it does and mix a bigger batch if it drops like I should. It should go down because that’s not a strong mix at all for flowering so we’ll see what happens on it

Okay so my lights are on 830pm to 830am. First watering is at 9pm. Second watering is at 530am. 15 minutes each. I’ll do another watering In the middle at 130pm during lights out. For say 5 minutes?

I thought it was best to not water during lights but maybe I’ll give that a shot. What would you recommend doing for my next watering To try and get the ph and ppm to stable out? They were taking 750 ppm before with no problem

Yeah I hear ya man. Last time went real smoothly. This round they are much bigger so may just be using more water. I get good run off every watering though. They run 15 minutes at a time so there is run off for 13 minutes atleast everytime. So I’m thinking that I need to make the second watering...

What’s up man. I really appreciate you helping out. I never tried it drain to waste. I ran it this way last year with 2 plants and it was a super smooth run. But this time I been having all sorts of issues with my ph meter. Already bought and returned 3 of the groline ones that are like $79...

And it is a recirculating system. Using the general hydroponics lineup

Thanks for the reply. So I have them in pots with mini Rockwool cubes basically. Top fed 15 minutes twice daily. Once at 9pm. 30 minutes after lights come on and I had them going again at about 5am. Lights go off at 830am. I did notice last night they didn’t get any run off for just over 2...

What’s up everybody? So I’m running 1800w hps over 5 plants in a capn style setup but 5 plants on one res not one plant per res. I had to go away for about 5 days and my brother took care of them for me but after about 2 or 3 days of me being gone the ppm runoff kept rising. I left him with a...

Yeah I may have to do that. Was trying to avoid it because I was going to switch to completely different lights in the next 1 or 2 runs. Adding one extra oscillating fan has allowed my brother to keep the canopy temp a little lower then it was. Hopefully it will keep things under control until I...

And the tent is in the basement so the basement is pretty cold where I live. Still winter and freezing outside so the air coming into the tent is cold

Yeah that’s what I figured. Wish I could move lights up but can’t on this exact setup. Maxed out. Hopefully I can avoid getting the airy tops. Need that extra light to get even coverage with how close to canopy they are. Thanks for the info I may have to double up on the exhausts and see if...

whats up everybody. Got a lil issue going on and I’m going away for a couple days so I gotta figure it out in the next couple hours. Help please haha so I have a 10x10 tent. 2 weeks into flowering now and I just added a 3rd 600w hps a couple days ago. I’m only using half of the tent right now so...

Oh yeah thats not bad at all. What stage are yours at right now? Starting to stretch? How much water do you think they each get in that 2-3 hours of water on? Mine are just starting to do some real stretching outside. Couple shooting out alot of pistils that are starting to flower earlier then...

Yeah I did make sure to mAke them all the same length so that one wasnt getting more water then the other. However, it happened anyway but I'm assuming its because the pump is not strong enough. I think yhe one I was using was. 250gph so I just grabbed a 400gph today that I need to try out...

I might need a stronger pump. They just don't seem to be dripping equally in every pot. How strong of a pump would you recommend? Ill have to get the new pump and try that out. I'm pretty sure the girls will take atleast 6 gallons each before getting any runoff The drippers are rated at 2gph...

Yeah I have one of the timers where I can set several different times. What I'm trying to figure out is the best way to utilize the system to ensure I'm getting a sufficient amount of water to all the roots. As I mentioned before with the pump that I have right now it took about 4 or 5 hours for...

I have 6 outdoor plants going. Just set up 4 drippers per pot. 15 gallon pots. Takes like 4 hours for the 30 gallons to pump to the 6 plants. Do I have enough drippers per pot? And should it take a lot less time than that or is it good that they get watered slowly? Thank you for any tips
