Nope, but not for lack of effort. The nutrient co. I'm using is "Sold Out" and has been since I started this grow. Was hesitant to mix brands.

Yesterday I dumped the res and filled with pH'd water (RO) only, then dumped it again (to get the stuff at the bottom I couldn't get the 1st time) then filled with pH'd RO water and let it bubble overnight. EC was 0.15 last night (net 0.1 as my RO water had 0.05EC base) and pH 6.3; when I came...

Good input, thanks. It's starting to make sense why you see so many single plants in buckets that size. Can't move the plants for this grow, but definitely taking that into consideration when I build my rig for the next one.

Yep, some fried tips. Here's the nutes I'm using: https://lotusnutrients.com/pages/easy-guide-and-recommended-hydroponic-feeding-schedule Bloom and Boost are what I'm using right now. So, a couple things: * There are two different strains - both supposedly Indica-dominant, but one is...

Couldn't find what you're talking about, but see below. I found this being circulated on several threads, but another commented pointed out that this is a veg chart (where pH is normally going up), and is not applicable in flower where pH would normally be going down. Is this what you were...

Yeah our water is like 350-400 PPM out of the tap - which I thought was startlingly high since 500PPM is the threshold for safe consumption. Someone else told me to add tap water, which seemed counterintuitive to take out the solids and then add them back. On the other hand, my tap water is...

Thanks. I'm using pH up to buffer, but I'll look into the calcium carbonate (bicarbonate?)

Quick update: Last night I left the EC at 0.62 and the pH at 6.2. Around noon today the EC was still at 0.62 (previously it was going WAY up), so that seemed good. However, the pH fell from 6.2 to 4.9 within that 22-hour period. I topped-off with some nute water that was higher pH (I did not...

That's what I was seeing through my research. It was so frustrating using two new, calibrated TDS meters and getting wildly different PPM readings, so I switched and am using only the TDS meter that outputs data in EC.

These may be too washed out from the LED for you to diagnose properly - not sure of the protocol here, but was hesitant to use flash photography in my 4x4 tent. What you say is compelling re: the chart and veg vs. bloom. Never heard of "ph veg" and "ph bloom" but that seems to make sense based...

Thanks. I have two sets of TDS and pH meters. Vivosun and HM Digital on the TDS and Vivosun and some other brand (no name on the stick) for the pH meters. The TDS meters were giving me two significantly different readings (like 100-200 PPM difference), but the pH meters were right about the...

Nice! lol...I wish I was growing each plant in a 5 gal res. I have one five gallon tote with four plants in it....yeah, I know...first go-around so I went with a pre-package system that allegedly holds 8 - but that seemed crazy so I cut it in half (4) but there's definiely a lot going on in a...

Thanks, and that seems to make sense. I am in the process of dropping feed levels - however, I'm down to 300PPM now and pH is still crashing and PPM spiking (though not quite as much as it was at higher PPMs - so I'll try to keep walking it back, but at 300PPM now I don't have much further to...

Noob, but studying hard. ISSUE: A couple days before the flip my pH started crashing from about 6 down to 4 (sometimes lower) in about 12 hours. EC/PPM would spike in same time period. RIG: small (5 gal) DWC with top down and two air stones (air pump is outside the grow tent), Humboldt Seed...
