I took some clones, after they rooted, I put them in 3x3 RW cubes. They are @ 2 weeks into the RW and vegging. I am hand watering them every day or 2. I just hand dip them into a bucket of nutes I mixed up. I am using H&G. I am vegging in these cubes until they are ready to go into my Ebb & Grow buckets with Hydroton.
I checked the runoff of my 3x3 RW cubes by giving them a little squeeze into a cup and measured the PH - It was @ 7.
I am very careful to check the water PH before feeding with a calibrated PH meter. I have been feeding at 5.5-5.8 PH.
My plants are getting crispy and browning leaves. Why is the PH so high in the run off? Yesterday I mixed up some RO water and Clearex at @ 5.0 PH and ran a quart of this through each block. The runoff is down to 6.2-6.4 PH now. Should I keep doing this flush until runoff is 5.8?
I have been feeding with an EC of .8-1.0. That is 400-500PPM on the .5 scale.
Also, how often should I be watering by hand? More than once a day?
Thanks for any help on this.
