I meant to mention my ionic freebies sent with uc were fucked. I mixed a measured gallon w r.o. water, the ec/ppm was way off and my ph would not stabilize no matter! For over a week the plants were frozen, all my other parameters besides r.h. were great.
GF,
I bought one at targe' and it sucked. Bought a 5 gallon at ace, it barely worked. The easiest thing for me is veg bigger in a tent and txplant to uc when they are 18-24" tall next rd.
Also
Well, I killed one of the 3 lights and raised the remaining 2 a bit... Humidity has been at 60% and I lowered the nute concentration a bit for a few days and things got worse... The roots are still growing like crazy, but the plants above the water look awful and were starting to yellow and the stems and veins are turning purple... So two days ago I decided to bump up the nutes... I bumped them up to 350 ppm and things haven't changed much but they didn't get worse...
When I get done working today and make it back to the girls I am going to check on them and see whats up... If they haven't got any worse then I am going to add more nutes again and go up to somewhere around 500 ppm and see if that fixes them... I am also going to give them a dose of Cal-Mag... I really think they are deficient and just need more food...
I figure that worst case I have 6 backup Super Lemon Haze clones that are in my aero cloner right now so if I kill these ones I can put new ones in and I will have only lost 2 weeks...
What I don't understand is why a RDWC system only uses around half of the nutrients as any other hydro system... It is not that much different than a DWC or an NFT or Aero setup really so how could it only use half the nutes? Is this more of just a guideline to start from or what?
Thanks,

Hummmmm
I think PPM's are somewhat dependent on the strain your growing, I tried pushing my plants to 900 and they started to curl up and get crunchy and burn. I run them at 650ppm @ Ph 5.8 and they stay there for days and days. I drop it in week 9.
Now IMHO a little tip burn is not a bad thing as it tells you you are maxing the plants out. With the UC you just dial it back by 50ppm and the tip burn goes away, now it's dialed in.
Humidity was the cause of my first 3 screw ups, so I bought 2 of these and added an auto fill and hooked them up to a 45 gal res of RO. Ro makes the filters last longer.
One kept the RH at 35 to 48, when I added the other it's at 60+ all the time now.
