Good point and a good rule of thumb: medium ph dropping=over feeding, rising =under feeding. And if he’s getting runoff it might not even get a chance to build up even if he’s over feeding. You’re probably right just throwing another possibility out there. A link you posted awhile back, a guy was giving a lecture; talked about how medium dropping indicates the plant is actively taking up specific nutrients- nitrogen I believe it was. Been researching nitrogen forms lately and how they affect medium , how and when to cut it out etc. Now I wanna watch that vid again. Maybe it wasnt u that posted it even haha. PeaceVery possible, but he doesn't give container size or run-off ec and I'm just going off my experience running coir many different ways. He is feeding 1.3 ec 3 times a day
Your plants must be fairly large to require 3 feedings a day in 5 gal pots. These are in 9 Lt.. pots (2.38 US gallons) being feed once a day.@MidwestToker I think I might try and reduce the feeding to 500 ppm / 1 EC for a few days with added calimagic
Going over your original post I looked over the fact that your mix was 40% clay balls giving you only 3 gallon total root capacity out of that 5 gallons and 1.5 per 1,000 would be large plants, so no you are not over watering, maybe a little high nutrient strength.I hear ya, they do drink alot. I do 1.5 plants per 1000w
Think he posted numbers in the first post.... @Fourtay id go w the botanicare calmag the gh one is mostly calcium carbonate not a lot of nitrate. Also did you wash the clay balls(hydroton?) beforehand? Most need a good rinse before use or it messes w PHGoing over your original post I looked over the fact that your mix was 40% clay balls giving you only 3 gallon total root capacity out of that 5 gallons and 1.5 per 1,000 would be large plants, so no you are not over watering, maybe a little high nutrient strength.
Can you give us a run-off ec?
