Thanks for that comprehensive answer. My EC stays pretty stable with the water level, so I just adjust the water I add to the reservoir, which seems okay, but I've been wondering about this for a long time, but always forget to ask.
So, do I follow the instructions on the nutrient bottles or the EC-meter? I've read that you shouldn't exceed, certain PPM values, however, if I were to follow the instructions on the bottles, I'd blow those numbers out of the water.
The nutes I'm using are Advanced Nutrients Grow/Bloom a+b.
I'm...
All right, so time for a more comprehensive update.
Last post I talked about pruning and preparing for switch to 12/12 and flowering. I said I wanted to wait a couple of weeks, but making some calculations, I decided to do it earlier, and get the harvest closer to Christmas and/or new year.

Wow. Long time since the last update. Mostly because not much has happened, other than slow and steady growth.
This is day 41 from seed.

Hey Gala! Thanks for the reply. Are you saying don't bother with CO2 at all, or that I need a more professional setup? I really can't afford the latter, hence the attempt at finding a cheap solution.
My setup allows for limiting airflow, or just temporarily cancelling it. Also, I kind of...
I've been trying to come up with a cheap way to provide CO2 to my plant, and I have an idea, but is it viable do you think? I would post an amazon link, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed.
I read that you can get slow-release CO2 tablets, I guess meant for aquariums or something. Would a...
Time for another update. It's around day 18 from seed.
And some root-action. And also an embarrassingly ragged hole. I only had a knife when I made this small temporary bucket...
God damn this terrible camera. Anyway, I guess it's kinda possible to see what's happening here.
So this is the progress so far. The first set of real fan-leaves are just forming, and the roots are beginning to form more than just the long tap-root. Real progress, finally!
I added the first...
