I water with 5.8. Two nights ago i majorly flushed my plants (bringing runoff ppm from 1200-1300 to 400-600). I've fed them twice since, with 600 then 900 ppm (heavy dose of calmag in 2nd). Upon testing my runoff PH, it was all 6.2-6.4.
What could be causing this rise? Should I water with extra low PH (5.6) for a bit to help counter it?
is the weed almost done? cause if your PPM was only 1300, thats good for a grow'n plant.
but yes if your PH is 6.5 you would want to take it down to 5.4 for you next watering to bring it to desired level.
Leadsled, I can't hit you with mah rep again. So I will simply say--->THIS^^^.
Also will add, if it ain't broke don't fix it. You're not worried with run-off as much as you are with what's going in and what's remaining. Make certain you've got that 20%-30% and you'll (generally) be golden.
Thanks a ton for the info. I'm in late veg right now, got one sick plant I'm trying to bring around before I start flowering. I'm new to this + just trying to keep as many bases covered as I can find out about.
I had it in a different thread somewhere on this site, but here' another http://img408.invalid.com/img408/3641/plantsicksmall.jpg
I was just taking a look at the plant + roots (looking for root aphids, some other post on here got me paranoid). What I did notice was two of my root tips (1/4 inch long), that are poking out of the side of my coco liners, are covered in what looks like some sort of white fuzzy mold
