Today's runoff saw EC levels all over the place! but we are gaining ground! I had EC levels of 9.5 5.5 3.5 and 1.8 so again this is with distilled water at an initial EC of .0068 so there's that aspect of it. Based on what I have learned and what the plants are showing me I think I'm in the...

Current progress

I think it was so high because I was using a feeding table instead of a meter and I was under watering causing the nutrients to get locked into the soil. All was well til my plants really started to get big and then when I was giving them lots of water the nutrients came out and I realized the...

I'm just wondering on a soil with a runoff EC so high if I should use a flushing agent like florakleen

I'm going to need to just flush with my tap water at .5 EC, there's no way I can afford to keep doing it with distilled water and my run off EC is still 9.8

So here is the current state of affairs. The smart pots are inside plastic mortar tubs and I noticed that the bottoms of the tubs were coated in nutrient residue that even had tiny salt crystals. I watered with distilled water till the point of runoff and then flushed with an additional gallon...

Good point, I did check the PH and it had stayed at about 6.5 which is what I normally get out of my well.

Well I'm going to run distilled until my run off EC gets better then I'll revisit if I need to use RO or my own water. If it's my water I am going to use I am certainly going to save a lot on nutrients. I have an RO system picked out for a little less than 200 bucks so we will see. The only...

Also putting all values as EC and not PPM, sorry for not being more clear "pun intended" on this water situation.

This is day one week two of flower, I have 7-8 weeks to go so yeah I can fix this. Do you know about the calcium and other dissolved minerals being a problem though? I'm going to water them with one gallon of distilled water now but I may have to switch if this is going to continue to be a...

So I've been doing some more playing with the water now that I have an EC meter. Distilled water from the jug is reading at .006 but my tap water is reading .446-.510, So i purchased a simple inline carbon filter. This does nothing for me, actually the EC went to .660 at least I know there isn't...

Whatever you call it, who made it and where can I secure seeds? I'm aware that it's been crossed with cookie strains to make sunset sherbet. However, my wife purchased a few grams from a dispensary and has now demanded that I grow it... I have tried many searches across the interwebz but I have...
