Damn 1000 threw veg sounds alot, think that would had executed mine, maybe the volume of water you had let you get away with that
33 gal ,ran it from seed to flower of watermelon ,the kracky method is pretty much 1000 all the way,with my heat i stayed right at 1200 and fought it all the way,reaching 1600 at a few times,just kept dropping that ph to drop ppm ,ran right at 6.0 al the way and 1200 in flower.
Damn you grew watermelon the kratky method, thats some futuristic shit, respect! Btw bro i accepted your challange if you remember, coco is on the way and orded some autos. Some white shark and some other made up names I cant remember, will update you when they get crackin
Thats smart, I done similar experiments so now I know how much I need to add of my 3part formula to raise 50ppm in my 5 gallons. Very cruical for not wasting nutes.To help figure out how much my PPM would change with the adding of nutes, I did a one gallon RO water test with each additive I had planned to use. For planning i used the recommended one gallon dosage, that way i know when i add that additive i am reasonably sure of what my new PPM number will be once i added with the top-off . You know the size of your res/bucket and you know your ppm/gal the rest is just math.
This works well for me as i do not change out the rez between grows & I keep my res at 64-65. I control the ppm by adding straight RO during daily top-off. I watch the ppm go down daily and when i reach my threshold, i add the nutes with the top-off based on the numbers. Sometimes i can add only one (usually bloom or grow food). I have to plan some of the other things (silica, calmag, hydroguard, +Life,) to be added when i can afford to not add grow/bloom food.
It works for me, hope it helps someone else.
breaks up the monotoney bro,coco,soil,hydro,they whole shabang cant get bored and will test every nerve you got hahahah the real challenge is the coco and hydro,the soil just kind of lays back,unless you piss it off it does the wild thang by itself
So true, also I choose coco so i dont just waste my nutes when changing res. They ate like 100ppm and theres still 500 ppm left why just throw all that juice away once a week when I can just top it off with little bit more nutes and water and reuse it to water other plants. Going to be great, I hate wasting things
i do same thing ,just do glasses instead of gallonsTo help figure out how much my PPM would change with the adding of nutes, I did a one gallon RO water test with each additive I had planned to use.
