I was following this chartWait do not put in that... EC of 0.6-0.8 is plenty. Hell I don't even feed 1.7 to fully mature plants in RDWC.
Ph to 5.5 and let drift to 6.0 before readjusting.
I have a pretty good feeling your PH is going to rise a fair bit over the next 24hrs.
I'll pop back in tomorrow to see how things are going.
Plenty of knowledge DWC grows here I'm sure will help ya get things in order.
Small learning curve. Tons of great ppl here. I'll catch up with ya tomorrow if they don't have you all sorted out by then but I'm sure they will.I was following this chart
EC - us/cm - PPM guidelines
Google and forum searches are leaving me uncertain on this. I found this chart on royalqueenseeds.com: Since my plants are auto's, I can't pinpoint when they switched to flowering exactly, but I believe it was very early April -so let's say I'm going into week 3 of flowering. I am reading...www.thcfarmer.com
I’m going to sleep now. When I wake up. I’m going to the store to get some last things and I will pump out 50% of my nutrition solution out. And then add RO water again.
thanks for the fast response. It really gives me hope that I found the right place for help. Even tho the website if kind of difficult to navigate true.
I’ve started with pumping the solution out. Should I start from scratch, or should I keep 40% and then just add RO water and Hydroguard for the new water? Just making sure my EC and pH is fine?Small learning curve. Tons of great ppl here. I'll catch up with ya tomorrow if they don't have you all sorted out by then but I'm sure they will.
Yeah 40% then top up should be right.I’ve started with pumping the solution out. Should I start from scratch, or should I keep 40% and then just add RO water and Hydroguard for the new water? Just making sure my EC and pH is fine?
I have 1L ph up, and 1L of pH down. I think I will need extra to complete my first grow. But we will see. I had 260L of the solution readyYeah 40% then top up should be right.
After PH adjusting add the hydrogaurd.
I still think your going going to find PH drift quite a bit. Because of the low alkalinity.
RO water has no buffering capacity and I don't think your nutes will add enough.
If your just starting out in hydro this is definitely worth a read.
Ph is often misunderstood so best to just clear it up before its an issue. Happen to have PH up if needed?
Marijuana pH Levels for Growing Weed: A Basic Explanation
OK I'm going to do my best to explain PH since its something that is for the most part greatly misunderstood and can be confusing to new growers and even experienced growers alike. This will explain why we need both ppm and PH meters to give us informed information about PH This will be a...www.thcfarmer.com
I knew I'd find you here AM! Interesting rig Fro5ty.Wait do not put in that... EC of 0.6-0.8 is plenty. Hell I don't even feed 1.7 to fully mature plants in RDWC.

How do tou increase the ppm/ec slowly? The only way that I could raise the EC in my setup is to pump the solution in to my water tank, add nutes and then let it fall back into the RDWC system. Should that really be a daily task?Doesn’t matter what the water looks like, it’s a matter of how strong the mix is.
Your plants look established and if it was my house I would start somewhere around 3-400 ppm or .6-.7 ec ph at 5.9 and then measure what the mix does over 12 hours .
if the ppm falls eg. 50 , I would in turn go up 50 plus 50 until I find a spot were it’s stabilizes and only drops 5 each day.
Vegged my girls to 400 prior to transition .
Entered flower and have slowly rasied over 4 days to low 600’s with it lowering ever so slightly each day. 5-10 ppm.
Good luck with the grow.
There's no way I could mix half tap water RO water with Power Si. My tap water is 275ppm naturallyThat's good. And you can mix tap with RO at 50/50 that's should give you a good alkalinity for PH buffering and not be any issues with nutrient ratios.
To adjust the ppm you can read here. There are a few ways but this is how I do add backs to a system.

Ok I'm going to explain a more complex way of maintaining our systems for those looking to use best practices (IMO only) There are many ways this can be done but I feel this gives the most stability for PH, PPM, NUTRIENT RATIOS (super important) especially is systems with a low water volume.

100-200 ppm is a good place to start.There's no way I could mix half tap water RO water with Power Si. My tap water is 275ppm naturally
That’s a good idea and if i didn’t like my well water some bottle mineral would do the same considering it’s 220 parts.That's good. And you can mix tap with RO at 50/50 that's should give you a good alkalinity for PH buffering and not be any issues with nutrient ratios.

I can fill the rest of my solution with tap water. But I think the water is to hard to add nutes to that “part” of the water. So I will have RO water with nutes at 0,7, and then add tap that’s also 0,7 but don’t have any nutritions in it. Is that right?That's good.
