If your nutes are at 500ppm and two days later there at 350ppm you need to up your ppm! It works like this
change res set ppm at say 600ppm ph 5.9 run for 24hrs, now if you ppm rise and ph drops nutes are to strong. If ppm drop and ph rises, nutes are to weak.
But if your ppm and ph are...
I hate putting my oil on top of other stuff, if I wanted to smoke weed that's what I'd do! Though is a nice blend sometimes, but is still a pain. It seems I have been looking for years for a really good oil pipe and no luck a few here and there but nothing custom like these. The best I have...
Bud blood is used in weeks 1-2 of flowering to help then start bud sites as far as finishing faster I don't think so, Bloombastic is used in weeks 3-5 for max bud growth but I still don't see them finishing any faster. I really don't know of additive for faster ripening, only bigger and better...
45' is a long way to pump the water for a 950, is it uphill at all? When you look at the specs on the pump you want to look at your output at 45' head! This head pressure will tell you what you can pump. I'm sure your 950 will work SLOWLY if you prime it IMO I would get a larger pump.

I thought he fixed his temp problem, but if it's -3 there and no heat that's his problem for sure! Root temps still in the 50's forget it, your lucky there still alive! Turn on some more lights heat mats, insulation on your res something anything. You have to get those temps up.

Here's alittle info on K.
Potassium
Type: primary macronutrient
Necessary for formation of sugars, starches, carbohydrates, protein synthesis and cell division in roots and other parts of the plant. It helps to adjust water balance, improves stem rigidity and cold hardiness, enhances flavor...
Are you running Co2? How big are your plants? Are you using CES's supplements?
Are your leaves dieing on the tip and on the edges maybe some spots, curing up and dieing towards the back of the leave about half way, but not the bud? You have P&K deficines! I'm running CES in UC (under current)...

Were is your water level at? IMO You want to have it a few inches below the RW, so that the nutes bubble up to it and tease the roots to make them reach for the nutes. If you keep that RW wet your roots won't grow out for along time, no need to they have what they need in the RW. Hang in...

Yes I do pre-mix everything including Zone(1ml/gal) before adding it to my res, I don't use PH down or up nasty stuff! So it's okay to add zone everyday with my nute top off, cool, I'd think it would start to build up after a few weeks.
Thanks
BHW
So If I add 10 gals a day to my res then I would add 10 ml of Zone everyday? Is there a toxic level of Zone? Since the plants are not using the zone what is the half life of zone, does it build up or fade away? What are the signs of toxicity?
Thanks

IMO I think the time is gained when I go from aero cloner to UC, my roots are already hanging down into nutes and ready to rock whereas w/the RW you must wait for the roots to grow out of RW and down into the nutes and then they must adjust to 24hr nutes there now in before they start...
Hi Stu
On your next run if your use the aero cloner clones DON'T put them in RW, just put them in a pot w/hydrton and UC will rock no stress lag unless you get your lights to close.
I use to do the same thing putting clones in RW and waiting for roots and having to top water. But it saves...
Okay so I've changed my system out and now I'm running Zone,my ? is so once I have the system balanced out again how often do you add the zone ie do you add it to the daily top off (about 5-10 gals per day of nute mix add 1ml/gal Zone)or wait a week or two and add new load of Zone(50ml 1ml/per...

If I'm using Hygrozyme and I want to switch to zone do I need to do a completle res change or can I just start topping off my res using zone? I haven't changed my res in 3-4 weeks so I don't know if there's any zyme left in there. My system is rock stable and don't want to mess...
Thanks for the info I did see a slimmy like stuff right at the waterline on my root mass from the foam I think thats why I stopped the air when adding to system and only @5ml/gal, does the DM zone cause the same problems? Or is just best to keep your shit clean to start with, I've been using it...
You say your ph swings what is your ppm doing? This is the formula I always go by. If you let your UC system run 24 hrs. and in that time it uses say 5 gals of solution what happens?
If ppm down/ph up Nutes are weak
If ppm up/ ph down Nutes to strong But if ppm and ph are stable then...

Clean looking set up looking forward to watching the girls grow. Are you running your AC? If so you will need you humidifer until you get into bloom your AC will suck the air dry! This will slow your grow alot and not so good for plant health.IMO.
Good luck

CES anybody tried them
DM 1st I'd like to say two thumbs up!! awesome room great work! I was wondering if you or any of the other farmers have tried the Cutting Edge Solutions? It's a 3 part w/3 additives, I was using AN and just had to many stability problems for that much cash! So I'm...
