First hydroponic grow

*added hydrogen peroxide to the solution and that brought the ec to around 1200
*they're to my knowledge a bit young for the system
*rockwool is completely saturated and I can't get it to dry

-Is the ec at 1200 okay just on account of the peroxide... I listened to Chat gpt and added like 7 ml per gallon
my food is under 1k?
-is the rockwool okay like so?
maybe I could go without the drip irrigation for a bit/ indefinitely?
Thoughts?

600ppm or 1200EC is pretty high for seedling. Cover the rockwool it will make algae and kill the plant or later cause acid rain effect (dripping from the algae and lower PH making it more acidic. And you will be Ph chasing.

The drip irrigation is not necessary at all. If your water splash and water level are proper, splashing the pebbles, you should not need to worry about drip irrigation that much.

That’s the best suggestions I can give you.

Water level can be very close to the bottom of the net cup Before roots drop down. Once roots drop down, lower water level. Splash should maintain pebble moisture, Not water touching it.

250-300ppm or 500-600EC would be a lot easier on the plant. 600 is a good target to Reach, working up to it, before flower and before reductions.

So 1200EC is average max.

At that seedlings stage, she definitely does Not need 1200EC. Unless you plan to be at 2400EC by the time you go to flower.

Hydro is not like soil when it comes to PPM/EC. It is overkill to feed the same as soil in hydro. Hydro should always be cut back from soil recommendations.

the grow is rocky... curled leaves.. yellow leaves... my northern lights is looking more like ruderalis at the moment... but the leaves are turning green.. have turned green mostly.. I added a misting schedule with extra blue light and red light turned down.. and I've already seen major improvements .. plants do absorb water through there leaves .. and maybe it's a good thing to give them a break from the nutrients
