3rd design on my hydro grow.

"assuming she’s drinking a lot of water more than nutrients at the moment"

Imo even 700 is too rich.

For reference I have a 4 site current culture on day 13 ppms are at 410

My water is 250-300ppm naturally unfiltered well water and I also try to read the plant and push limits.

Those are awesome plants! waw

 

[Teslajuana]

Ppm 700
Was 6.6 added ph down and stabilized at
Ph 6.1
Room temp 65
Rh 56

Performed minor defoliation
increased light intensity on back light up 20%

 

[Teslajuana]

Ph this am
6.1
Room Temp 63
Rh 66%
ppm 730

roots look good
They are getting bigger everyday

this am I purged res and recirculating system washed roots and ran peroxide dilution, roots look good plants look happy.

after purge:
Ph 6.3
Ppm 570
Water temp 63F
Room temp 64
RH 65%

 

[Teslajuana]

Ppms 590
Ph 6.2
Water temp 67F
Room temp 65
Rh 63%

Performed small defoliation on bottom of canopy
increased back light to 78%

 

[Teslajuana]

Ppms 570
Ph 5.6
Room temp 67
Room Rh 58%

noticed a large amount of water consumed today. Rez is lower about a little more than 1/4 lower from this am that’s roughly 3-5 gals.

Added water brought ph to 5.9, after added water ppms @ 500

 

[Teslajuana]

Ppms 490
Ph 5.9
Rh 64%
temp 71F
Performed small defoliation on top and took majority off bottom of the canopy.

 

[Teslajuana]

Ph dropped to 5.7
Turned back light down to 60%seeing light burn on some leaves.

Those under sink ro kits are cheap and last forever. I just bought some extra tubing and ran it directly into my grow room. My starting ppm is usually 10,but I'd I let my holding tank sit too long some evaporates.. Never had it test over 20ppm. I've got 60 bucks total in the ro system... Pretty sweet.. .

I'm sure you already looked into it, but honestly with your success, I'd use ur tap and keep ur same ratios on mixes.. Looking good man.. Sucks we can't smell it yet..

Smellivision coming soon

I’m pretty satisfied with my water even tho its 300ppm atm and it’s 7.4 ph naturally. Been pretty successful without using RO. Was thinking about RO but I would have to store a ton as I flush, refill and wash roots quite a bit.

Liking the ppms

shouldnt you be up to around 1000-1200 ppms for this stage of growth ? or am i mistaken ?

All depends on hydro system and having a calibrated meter lol.. .

On my calibrated meter using. 7 scale I will run 650ppm for all of flower, if not lower. Hell I can add ph down and up along with some enzymes to bump it up to 2000, but my actual nutrient levels will be 650.

I've asked him about his calibration method, but regardless, he looks to be doing everything right lol

Just put mine to bed and they were at 380 ppm , fed them this am up to 410 ppms so the 4 plants have eaten 30 ppms during todays light cycle.
