First grow, I'm in coco n perlite and vermiculite, my system is the air cube flood and drain I ran Into what I believe was lockout and I flushed for the first time 2 days ago with clearex, I ran my system 4x (15 min each) then continued to water every 4-5 hours normally with clearex in the new solution and continued too do so for 2 days.
I was unaware of salt build up and the need for weekly - bi weekly flushes I'm in week 5 of veg in 5 gal fabric pots, with the pots being bigger than the bucket I've been taking a cup and wetting down the tops of the coco, I put clay balls on top to help keep things cleaner up top
My ph has been on point between 5.8 - 6.2
I did have a slight issue on one plant I'd found like 5 catapillers trying to cocoon and nibble underside of leaves it was limited too the one plant with bite marks, I have a jewlers loop and intensly examined 2 of the leaves tacoing up and could find no sign of pests, I only have a few lady bugs left patrolling however I just ordered 1500 more as I'm very nervous this could be some time of mite problem.
I'm using Lotus nutrients brand any tips and help will be appreciated, my Temps are roughly 70 - 75 I run humidifers, maybe I'm just tripping since it's my first grow but I'm defiently worried
Oh ya... before I forget twice maube 3x I have sprayed spinosad with a mister and also hit once with neem oil and soap in fear of pests
