Now that I take another look my PH is dropping and my PPM's are climbing. I have two res one has smaller plants so I put in less nutrient. So here are my numbers on the 2 res lets call em res1 and res2

Res1 PH PPM Res2 PH PPM
Sat 6.00 750 5.96 1100
Sun 5.94 768 5.92 1140
Mon 5.99 781 5.82 1200
Today 5.96 790 5.70 1234

Am I just looking to far into it? I am going to clean the res's on Sun and start with new nutrients, I am also going to switch lights at that time. Any advise or recommendations are appreciated.

I actually like mine to raise a little, I would rather have a bit too much than a bit too little. If those are veg, start em put at 700 for bigger plants maybe 400sh for smaller ones. 1100 is too high for veg! George knows his shit by the way, so try to get you RH up!! Try putting a couple buckets of water in the room?????

Would you suggest I change out the water now and drop the nut level, I can add straight RO water probably 10 gallons or a little more would that help reduce the PPM until the regularly scheduled Sunday change? Also what should I be targeting for RH? Again sorry for the dummy questions but really do appreciate any answers.

Thanks again!

That's a hard question to answer, if they look good and you are getting growth, wait??? If they look like shit and are not growing than I would change it out. Thought you were going to use you well water???? 50sh on the RH. I have to run a humidifier in my veg room,if I don't, it will get below 20, flower room is good!

just reread your post, sure, add the RO water and see what that does for ya.

I used the well water in the cloner. I have about 20 gallons of RO made up, after that I am going to try the well water in the rails as well. They look good so I will add the water and see what that does for me. Yeah my RH right now is too low about 15% I will add some large mouth buckets of water and see what that does.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Haven't switched to flower yet, was planning on doing that Sunday when I change the water and clean the res. I inherited the rail system and knew nothing about the perpetual part of this. When I got it he gave me some seedlings that were about 3/4 dead that we filled the one system up with then I built another and floated my own seeds for that, they aren't far behind the first at this point but like I said the first set were practically dead when they were given to me.

I have since learned of how this system is intended and built a cloner yesterday, will build the veg unit soon, then another rail system and if I can dial it in be HAPPY!

It stays right around 20 to 30% in that room is this too low? Hard to increase it as I currently have a pellet stove running in another room down there. I am seeing great growth since switching to the botanicare line and nursing everything back to health. Just trying to get educated and dial things in.

Thanks for the reply.

Sorry, I don't mean to be asking the same questions over again. I have read this in its entirety and the harvest a pound thread, took me about two weeks to get through them both. Unfortunately my memory sucks and I have seen contradictory advise. I will reread this thread as it seems like the real pros at this system are here.

Thanks again for answering. Hopefully I don't keep asking answered questions.
