Hi, general question for those experts out there.
My schedule says add growth nutes to your solution at a measure of 1.5 EC.
The EC of my water prior to nutes is 0.4.
Does this mean:
1) Add your nutes till your measure is 1.5; or
2) Add your nutes until your measure is 1.9 (a combined total).
In any event - I assume that your EC will go up from the addition of extra additives apart from your base nutrient (silicon, root stimulant, pH down etc). So if making your nutes do you also account for these in your addition exercise?
i.e Water at 0.4 plus additives at 0.4 plus base nutes at 1.5 = 1.9EC; or
Add everything to aim for 1.5 EC.
Sorry if this is a basic question but I cant find it addressed anywhere.
Also - the process of making a nutrient solution for Cocco- is this the correct method:
1) De-chlorinate the tap water (48 hours)
2) Add in this order:
a)Additives
b)Base nutes
c)pH modifier if necessary
How long can this solution sit in a dark closet for and still be used?
I look forward to being enlightened
Cheers,
Breezy
