Your problem is ph swing... No carbonate in RO can use baking soda or potassium bicarbonate this will provide some stability to your ph. If you don't have carbonates and bicarbonates as you add nutes the ph will plumit and as the plants eat them it will raise quickly
no way that could be right,90 psi should blow that tank,when i had my submusbable pump repalced 500 ft deep with new aqua cable,the dude kicked up the tank to 65 and said that was about right,when the water on i got 45PSI
so add baking soda to raise the ph?
I'll replace the g, and see what it says
i agree and wouldnt trust it,shit 90PSI would blow the tank i would think,does your tank have like a tire valve on top for adding air
finally got this thing working,next year smaller res and about 4 of them,going with watermelons,canaloupe and pumpkins all on that top deck growing hahah the wall completly covered,this will save so much room on the bottom garden,the bottom garden for corn ,beans,tomato,i also want to try growing peanuts down there,all the other stuff we like we can control better on container garden up top behind the house,my onions and garlic im doing in 2x8x8 boxes right on top of ground for big bulbs
I got those filters at lowes on sale with the pre filter... 4 for 20.00$
Yeah I use 1/2 tsp per 5 gal
cool bro,be the same for topping off too ?have been 5 gal every 2 days,but as you see they aint waiting,freaking wish that wall was a vertical grow of medicine hahahah maybe one day haah,thanks for the help ,i mentioned that this morning before i drained it,mama didnt want to chance messing the roots up with melons on the vine hahah
you remember that soil mix i used ,had cooking for 6 months,about to give it a try with brocille and cauliflur,let you know how it come out
also someone wanted to know how to crack old seeds,so showed um,now i got think 9 solo cups going,not mentioning any names hahahahbe a good time to fill maybe half them up and give the soil a try on the medcine,pretty much pro mix said and done,peat moss,compost,potash ,phosphrus,gypsum,baysalt,azomite,bloodmeal ,cooked for 6 months with lids
Should just have to add it once. If you notice ph swings of more than 0.2-0.3 a day then you can add more otherwise you gonna end up with a sodium build up
now when i add more food ppm up ph down,it is 8-16-36,i did that last week to drop the ph from 6.5 to 6 at 6 i was running right at 1000 ppm,whats blowing my mind is the temp has finally gone down under a 100 during day,been in mid 90's last 3 days and it went and cut up on me haaha,at dark it was 5.8 1175ppm i think,got it wrote down just stoned hahahah if it the same or close im let it be,my dunb ass start with a 1/2 tsp to the can at a time give it a few min check,if i mix it for the 5 im sure i jack it up haha
using magnesium sulfate and calcium nitrate,2 oz mag sul,3oz calcium nit and the food for 33 gal of ro water,when i first went to ro water ,i mixed it just like this,first ph check was 6.5 ph 900 ppm,since i just been topping off were the problem come from i thought,but today same mix and 5.2 ph 1100 ppm,with fresh right out machine ro water
