Apprentice? I didn't start growing yesterday, in fact I've been growing solid for 8 years. I think my credentials are pretty good.
when you have a suspension of water and nutrients are not the bubbles carrying nutrients? hmmm???
I know you didn't, the guy above did.
So let me ask you this, how would you advice the person to flush his system?
The thread starter hasn't mentioned his pH yet. I'm betting that's where the problem is.
I've never seen a case where bubbles have been able to cause salt built up to cause plants to lock-out when their roots are in the water in dwc.
I just realized that I don't have the credentials to belong in this conversation....my apologies to all
Yeah man, I love the pH drift.
But here's the problem I have with flushing advice I often see. In soil people flush by pouring water through their pots, once, maybe twice and it's flushed.
Somehow when people talk about flushing in hydro they talk about leaving a weak nutrient solution in the tank for days, which is not flushing.
If I thought medium had built up salts in dwc than I would pour luke-warm water from the top down, through the medium and fill the rez up for 10 minutes or so and dump it. It's flushed. Time to fill her back up with nutes for that stage of growth.
If you were going to get salt built up I'd say it would happen in the ebb&Flow and that's why I doubt that's your problem. If your plants aren't eating right because of the pH then giving them less food won't make them eat any better is all I'm saying.
You're saying you think nutrient lock-out because of built up salts is more likely in DWC than E&F?
