System: ebb and flow
water temp: 70F
resevoir size 30gal. ph is 5.8
day one was 680 microsiemens (my meter measures in microsiemens) which i believe is relatively the same as ppm.
day two (morning) ppm is reading 1236.
Nutes: GH 3 Part (Floragro, FloraMicro, FloraBloom) at half strength
My ratio per gallon is 2-2.5-.5 (in the order listed above).
The plants are two weeks old. you can see 4-8 true leaves on them.
Possible theories of mine: The plants are showing signs of underwatering, as such, the plants could have drank a lot of water and not that many nutes when they were transplanted into the ebb and flow system yesterday. ( as such, im thinking about topping off with just tap water) my tap water is 375 ppm. HARD WATER. As such, i bought the floramicro hard water nutrient solution. This should compensate for the hard water issue, because my water has over 70 ppm of calcium. the ph of my tap water is 7.4 so in a 30 gal resevoir i had to use a lot of Gh ph down-bout a 1/4 cup if i had to guess. (i use an eye dropper to apply the ph down) I think i'm going to top off with water today. if anyone has any opinions please let me know. thanks. I think it would be good to keep my ppm at 600-800 for the 2 week old seedlings.
