havent ran Rockwool and Hydroton in a couple of years but was gifted these plants already in Hydroton pots from a homie that had to travel for work and wasn’t gonna be back to finish them.so I took over but have been doing promix for years as well as soil.
They are in rooted in Rockwool, places in 5-6 inch net cups with Hydroton on a table with a plastic cover. The table is empty no medium.
I got a 40 gal Rez but it only has around 35 gal in it, as the return line hole is at the top. I usually run my starting ppms at 200 and work my way up depending on how much they eat. They’ve been solidly eating about 10ppms a day and I’ve been topping it off with water or/and 1/8th-1/4tsp foliage a day to keep the ppms in the 200-225 range until I see a major drop. I use ro water with a average of 005-007 ppms, and run Protekt and foliage pro for nutes. I’ve added 1/2tsp super thrive all together and about 3 scoops of great white. I set ph around 5.7 and it drifts up to about 6.0-6.1 next day/ day an a half. And set it back to 5.75-5.85. Gonna be taking them off the table and blasting the table with water and draining it because I’ve noticed dirt particles in the bottom as well as on my table from the extra Hydroton he gave me. Originally there was 23, now there’s 19. Flooding 24 times a day as they start drying out if not because I pulled the cubes as far up into the pot as can and filled Hydroton thru the holes to stop the light from getting to the roots and rock wool. The 4 plants I lost were due to root rot which prompted me to do this to the rest of the plants I got from him.
This is about 4days into veg after transplant from his setup. Most of the plants are doing good, ppms and run off is dropping slowly but consistently but some have symptoms of like when you take clones and they start canibalizing the lower leafs because of lack of nitrogen. Was thinking about raising the ppm to 450ish or around .9-1.0 ec? I wanted some second opinions tho as I have no clue how this strain likes to uptake her shit, and don’t wanna risk Nute burning them. Again been outta the hydro game for a couple years so I’m just running the same ppms as I do in promix but I feel it might be too low. Thank you!
