Might want to bring RH up to 70-80%.Hey all, I am back after a little break from growing as I had more than enough from my last grow. This time I am starting off with one seedling.
4x2 tent.
The seedling is approx 1 week old.
PPM: 350
Temp: 72F
RH: 20%
PH: 6.2
Light:SF1000
For now I am using General Hydrophonics Nutes.
I will try to log as much as I can through out the grow.
I know I always get that I should bring my RH up, however she is eating and drinking and growing atm. Just within the last 12 hrs ppms dropped 10 ppm from 190 to 180 and she is still growing! Yes the GH nutes are very dark brown depending on how much I put i believe they do stain which is why I keep it kinda lowMight want to bring RH up to 70-80%.
My main issue, so far, with General Hydroponics nutes in Hydroponics (RDWC) is that there is sooo much food dye/coloring that it stains the roots so you can't look at them and tell if they are healthy or not.
Thoughts?
I indicated on page 2 that light was at 24” from top of canopy. Now its at 17”-18”. Hope that helps!
That’s what my roots look like. I’m using much higher nutes than you, ~550 ppmDay 46 after germination. She went from 220ppm to 190ppm in 24 hrs. Ph drifted up to 6.2 from 5.7 last night. I added ph down but it bottomed to 5.4 so I added 1.5 gals of RO water to push it back up to 5.8 and ppms reduced from 190 to 140 after adding RO water.
Ph : 5.8
Water temp: 70F
PPM: 140
Temp: 72F
RH: 25%
Light:SF4000 @45%
Bro, I’m new but I’m not positive you’re reading your PPMs correctly. It’s my understanding if your PPMs are dropping that means your plants needs more nutes.Last night I added more nutes just to see her reaction. I bumped them up to 310 and she ate 20 ppms from it within 12 hours and waking up this am she looked so perky and happy. Definitely seeing new growth. Im going to push her a little more today so I gave her a little more nute to bump her up to 350 ppm
I don’t know really what I’m doing with ppms. All I know is that it is a useful tool when using nutrients to read the plant as well as what I put in her. Like just before my last rez change I noticed ppms weren’t dropping within a 24 hr period so I did a res flush and cleaned everything out. As soon as I started putting nutes after the res change she started eating again. I think she was in a lockout situation with too many salts from nutes but I could be wrong idk. Imo She should always be eating ppms so if she isn’t then something ain’t right imo. This is just my experience with the relation to how she grows and looks. I can see an immediate change in her visually when I do something different. I use all the tools I have and play around mostly just to see how she reacts I then use the thcfarmers members input then I use all that information to extrapolate future decisions to make her happy. In summation I find a base to work with, then I fine tune all of my resources in relation to how she responds. If she’s growing, green and smells nice then I’m good or should I say she’s good.Bro, I’m new but I’m not positive you’re reading your PPMs correctly. It’s my understanding if your PPMs are dropping that means your plants needs more nutes.
If PPM stays the same as water level lowers, that means the concentration of nutrients in the water is well balanced and the plant is absorbing it.
If PPMs rise that means your plant is taking in water but not the nutes because it’s too much for your plant.
If I’m wrong, please school me.
