How big is your res? Probably a better way than those dinky filters for a system that size. Maybe a waterfall trickle filter

when i was forced to switch from grow stones to hydroton i saw similar things to what your experience from a residue standpoint. plants never skipped a beat but that brown dust looks like its from the hydroton not being thoroughly cleaned before use. its a bitch to wash.I’m prob more at 100 ppm of calmag then another 150 ppm of veg a and b combined. So a little lower than you’re advising.
i used to think 400-500 was high until i had a few revelations. 400 is mother plant ppm. you can jack this shit up to 1000+ and be fine (500 scale)when i was forced to switch from grow stones to hydroton i saw similar things to what your experience from a residue standpoint. plants never skipped a beat but that brown dust looks like its from the hydroton not being thoroughly cleaned before use. its a bitch to wash.
yes i meant overall throughout the stage of the plant they can handle higher ppm. i start at 100ppm. yes rdwc. hydroton in netpots ever since grow stone randomly went out of business this past year.The plants are just past clone stage so I think a high ppm would lock them out. Are you in DWC roscoe? Or are you in a hydroton based grow?
Yes on 700ppm scale. You will 150-200ppm cal mag and 300-400 ppm of A+B. At this stage.You think I should be higher than 270 ppm on 700 scale with how big they are right now?
