Guys…

I’m having a hard time really nailing my EC with drip irrigation!

After asking a few friends, the consensus is that since I’m feeding a small amount with no runoff many times a day, I should be using a lower EC feed until the end of flower and then bump it up a bit.

I WAS feeding 2 and then 1.8, but now I’m down to 1.4-1.5 feeding like a total of 3-4L over the course of hourly feeds starting and hour and a half after lights on, and the same before lights off.

So…

Those of you who feed multiple times a day with drippers, what’s your flower EC ha ha ha.

✌🏻

Proper EC range will vary with light intensity, watering frequency, genetics, and environment. It's a balancing act. I'm around 2.2 EC for most of flower, and I ramp down in the last two weeks. If I see tip burn or deficiencies, I adjust.
