CS nutes??6 feet tall and 8 feet around i still haven't broken 400.
6 feet tall and 8 feet around i still haven't broken 400.
can you further explain that for me squiggly?are your temps swinging a lot?
pH is temperature dependent.
Q9 is that 500 scale? Hole shit 8' round damn that must be some sight!!6 feet tall and 8 feet around i still haven't broken 400.
Hey lex it was DS that stated that he never broke at peak 800 ppm (700 scale) I'm following the same regiment I'm at week 4 but my tap comes out at 60ppm so my total ppm at the start of week 4 is 860ppm 3 days later its at 620ppm I have a 55 gallon drum this morning they drank about 40 gallon in 1 day incredible.Yeah, I read someone say 800 ppm is the highest you should go in the UC because its so efficient, but I read that after I posted that reply above.
can you further explain that for me squiggly?
Well I have run into problems again maybe someone can chime in I have notice that after my week 6 that my ph is dropping as my ppm also can't understand why. Week 6 started at a ppm of 750 with ph at 5.1 3 days later ppm are at 550 and ph is at 5.7 so were looking good so far. Next day ppm is at 500 and ph dropped to 5.3. As I add back nutes to 700+ppm ph start to rise.
Now I have notice that the following week nutes have to be higher to keep ph from dropping and so forth. Now I am in week 9 want to bring my ppm down to 300ish before week 10 flush and my ph is dropping but this time my ppm is rising WTF any help thanks
I would run them full strength until flush then run they uc roots and water for a few days then fresh water no ph anything for a few more days swap water if needed and u should be golden. It is dropping because they are drinking everything in the buckets , aslso did u drop the water level in the buckets helps ripen .
I am having the exact same problems right now and have yet to figure it out. contacted cch2o a few times and am getting contradicting suggestions (ppm to high, then ppm to low etc.) Curious if we can find a answer for this one. This problem doesn't seem to not follow the rules lol.Well I have run into problems again maybe someone can chime in I have notice that after my week 6 that my ph is dropping as my ppm also can't understand why.

First of all remove the idea of "eating" from the way you think of nutrients - they ARE NOT FOOD. They make up the elemental needs of plants stricktly in the most base sence of chemical reactions, similar to the way people use multi vitamins.
Of those vitamins we are giving plants, 96% are provided by the atmosphere (C, H, and O). they cannot be given to plants, however we can impede the plants access to them - (which is usually the cause of nutritional imbalances. ) So N,P,K,Ca,Mg,S,Mn, etc all together make up 4% of the elemental needs of plants. (light is the plants food.)
Next, the idea that they can "drink" and not "eat" ceases to make sense. Plants do have selectable membrane at the epidermis of the rhizosphere, however the depth of the ability for them to select is probably minimal, and for our purposes serve mostly as a "clotting" agent whereby the root becomes less active or even inactive and begins to rot. This is why UC roots is so effective, it exfoliates clotted roots.
Finally, the mantra pH up, ec down = good and pH down Ec up = bad, is all well and good if your flooding and draining, but for our purposes leaves much information to be desired.
Let water consumption be your guide, plants that are not up-taking water cannot be up-taking nutrients; where-as plants using 2 gallons per day, per plant site, of very very low solution strengths can be up-taking astronomical total nutrient values.

Thanks for info guys I understand that ph up and ec down = good but I can't figure out how to correct as of today ppm 320 and ph is going down but on the up note that ppm is going down. How can I correct this issue? Thanks
