Yeah only 4 products atm, tested with only vega and flores and nothing special change cant see with eyes, zym seems help roots pretty good. Vega till about 2-3 week after light flip and then flores to end, cannazym full cycle when i put them in nft and pk 13/14 only one time when buds are starting growing size so about between 4-5 week in flower. I tried with whole Canna line too but zym was most worth to buy what i experienced, full line gonna cost pretty much. Only negative is what found about canna is i could want little bit less nitrogen in flower nutes. My tap water ec is about 0.3 and 8.5ph and i think you live in usa so there could be different tap water and it could make some difference. Ph down is good to have too if needed some nute lines dont need that, canna keep pretty stable ph 6. Ph and EC meter is good to have too but after you used same nute line long time you dont need them that much anymore, good to have if problem coming. I dont own any ec meter anymore after i broken one but i should buy one and ph i check about 3-5 per round but its almost always 6-6.5.
Simple setup works for me maybe im just simple guy.Grow style i kept almost same whole my time only 2 soil/coco grow and other differences are just sizes with nfts, tents and lamps. And yea good think with these nft systems is no pebbles or baskets just rockwool. Rockwools became pretty standard at industry grow in usa what i watched. Ask if you need help anything i try help how i can best, there is many more good hydro growers in forum but they run mostly sterile hydro when i got more "live" hydro. You need test different things and see what fits your style best and no scaring with failures they teach alot.
I dont have ec meter years anymore (should buy new) so i dont know exact ec in my nft but i go with canna aqua feeding schedule and it says rooting 3-5 day 0.9 w/o tap water ec and 0-3 week veg 1.1ec w/o tap water ec. But you can start like 1/2 recommended first week and if they look hungry then go full recommended. Actually i saw canna line have 1.8 ec w/o tap water ec 1 week in flower phase but always depending strain how they like nutes. I think you dont need that nitrogen and magnesium additive most nutes got calmag already and they have good amount nitrogen too, idk what is that algen extract. Here is feeding schedule what i use https://www.cannagardening.com/growguideyes getting the whole product line is expensive, bit of a gimmick but sucks allot into the hole.
Australia here, my tap water comes out at about 6.5 and 0.2, around 7.0 with heavy rain. I use the H&G osmos/stabil to help keep my ph stable.
When I start week one with the NFT system, is there a 'safe' EC starting point you'd recommend?
my nutrient line up in order of adding:
tap water
osmos/stabil
silica
Part A & B
roots axelurator
amino treatment
multizyme
drip clean - not a nute
things were going well while using this, then I bought the whole line up and added
nitrogen
magnesium Mg0.8%
algen extract
things didn't go well after this. I stuck to the EC (1.8) of the feeding guide however it was too much.
Sometimes I think part of the problem is I like to try new things too often, I did that with the last grow and you're right I learnt allot!! this grow I need to take a step back though, make small individual changes and give them time, its hard to pin the tail on the donkey when you've got 5 or more donkeys running around hahaha
Thanks again for the help mate!!
You to modest bro.. but it's the truth.. The Might Green Knight!!Haha im just another guy man no green knight and I also make my share of mistakes. Appreciate the compliment my friend
