If the device is not off

I’d mix up a batch of feed half strength
At 3.5 ml per l
Ph to 6.2

Nd add around 2/3 l to your pots till run off reads the same or close to what you put in

Makes it easier to mix a big bucket rather than 2L at a time

soil grower here.

just there's more things that could go wrong in coco than soil, 2 weeks old seedling are usually bigger

I agree, I went fully hydro

If the ph is reading 4.9
Tht might explain why they look sad and not growing


Also I wouldn’t increase the light % until there happy you don’t want stressed plants to grow but to heal

Get a carbon filter and fan it will stink up the place in flower plus it draws fresh air from the bottom through your plants and takes the hot humid air out. You have a nice clean grow space and a nice light u are half way to a good grow next is nutrients Less is always better than more

I agree with grow when I run 3 plants in flower in my basement I can smell my grow from the road a single 4x4 tent might not be too bad though

Yeah wether you care if it stinks up the joint or not, def still need a exhaust fan you want something that you can control the temp and humidity on, tons of options spiderfarmer, acinfinity, there’s a bunch, they have all kinds of options but that’s a must, the air needs to be exchanged and it’ll be easier to control temperature and humidity in the tent

I just stuck the pen straight in the coco and it said 4.9

i would calibrate the pen at least once before using it, tho i m not sure on how to use this powder buffer, mine come in liquid form.

Thank-you very much yeah I could do without the smell

Yeah it’s more a preference thing plus the extra cost but most exhaust come in combos with them (and some fancy controllers some go right to your phone), I use moisture meters that do that but for the Wi-Fi phone stuff a bunch of people here can probably show you what it looks like (I’m riding my old spiderfarmers still lol) but there’s a bunch of people that have the newer stuff though.

Ac infinity are pretty much on top of the game when it comes to this stuff

Me personally I use the ink bird controllers
Works better with my equipment

How could I increase the ph please?

 

[Maddison]

I use a 4” in my 4x4 and a 6” in my 4x8, the 8” are huge, imo I’d prefer another 6” for the 4x4, in the winter it does fine but in my spring / summer stages the 6” would be more helpful, if you run AC all summer in the house a 4” will probably do fine though, I make it work lol

Should I wait for next time I water as the soil is pretty watered already

test you pen I’m a cup of water first
Make sure it reads close to 7.2

Of so mix up a batch of nutes in a bucket to 6.2 nd just add until 6.2 comes out the bottom

If you mix your nutes in the bucket and it reads 5.5 or something just add some ph up power a small crumb at a time till you are in range

I checked those out I should look into them again I’m sure the time is coming to replace some stuff eventually

Hmm not sure I did buy from hydrophonic shop and it looked pretty buff to me

It’s coco, try not to think of it as soil
You can’t over water unless you put like 4 gallon threw nd let it sit in its own swamp

That’s why people do coco as if it was soil you would have to wait till next week

You can feed as often as you like as long as your Within ranges of ppm and ph

 

[HerbalEdu]

thoose powder buffer seem to be one shot use with 250ml of water, tho' i see nothing if they work with all kind of water all various tap, ro, distilled ... (tap water come in various ph and ec depending your location ...)

not sure how long they can be stored past being mixed ...

you need to clarify that before preparing the buffering solution and calibrate your pen.

i would anyway advise to buy some liquid buffering solution for each pen you use. much easier to use

No point in replacing something that works

I’m looking at the cure puck personally
I’ve seen amazing results online but I don’t know if that’s all good pr
