1.) Is the EC always proportional to the PPM's (TDS)?
The reason I ask is because I am having issues determining how much nutes my plants eat versus how much water they drink in a day. My PPM's & EC are always on the rise, and my water level is always going down.
2.) So is it logical to...
EDIT:
After the Trichs have matured, you start the 6 day flush.
So, the 3 days of light on, res change, then 3 days of total darkness is the entire 6 days of your total flush cycle? 6 days, not 14 days total for the flush cycle?
End Edit:
Thanks for that info, it kinda clears everything up...
I understand that when the Trich's are starting to turn color it is harvest time. Which to me means it is time to cut the plants down, trim them, and hang dry them.
So, at what point do I start flushing, which would obviously be 2 weeks before the Trich's start to turn color and you would...
I was thinking of running a 2nd 1KW HID in another room for vegging for a couple of growing cycles in case I ever ran really low on my medicine for some reason.
Will I have to do anything to my electrical system so I can run two 1KW HID's safely?
Does anyone else run 2-1KW, or more HID's...
Been using air/air stones since I brought the system home. Upgraded from a single output air pump to a quad output air pump... And I would like to pump some directly into the buckets, but I fear this will dry the roots out before the next watering cycle.
I started using one a few months ago. Changed over from an Aeroponic system.
So far I really love this thing.
After reading this post, I think I may tweak mine a little over the next year.
I like the idea of 5 minute timers, bigger buckets/brain box bucket.
I am also going to add quick...
I was talking to an expert in one of the grow shops here, and I learned something very interesting.
Something to Think About:
Your grow room is probably real close to 80 Degrees F, or a little more. So the water in the res is that temperature as well. Then add in the fact you are (Read...
I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure that most people start with a seed, figure out which are the females, use one as a mother to clone from until the end of time if they want.
If you are starting from a clone, then yeah, what you-all is saying might come into play. I really do not know if...
