    Can't figure it out

    Thanks...I thought the same and had bumped them...will bump more! Just figured at the EC I'm running it would have taken care of it. What kind of a ppm bump on K and Mag would you think?...another 100?

    Can't figure it out

    Thanks... the plants have been eating what they have been given for the most part, as the EC run off is only a bit higher than whats going in, unless I allow to dryback heavy. I had a phone consult with the guy that wrote the EBook (crop steering book) for growlink. He top feeds in RW for...

    That is exactly my situation with my harvest. Small, tight, resinous. Same plan for hash! I'm curious what EC sweet spot have you dialed in for late veg? I am automated drip...trying crop steering with roughly 15-20 shots per day. That being said I'm bumping now from 1 EC to 1.2...Jacks 321...

    I assume that your EC transition will be similar based on what it has been like for me so far with RW. I have my girls on timer feed now with ramp up, and maintenance shots....with mid day runoff. This has made a huge difference with dialing in nutes, PH, EC, etc... I 'll get some pics up here soon

    No worries brother...yes, when you soak/saturate the block and let it rest....it will have a weight to it. If you have a scale, you can can measure. If not just lift and feel. I would let my initial dry back get very light...which you will be able to sense for sure. Its like lifting a wet towel...
