I gotta lose those waterfalls. HELP!

You can add 1ml per 5 gal cal/mag just to bump nitrogen a tiny bit.

This is for my flower room? On top of the Mg @ gram per 5 gallon?

Yes

 

[Aqua Man]

I mean it's a small bump to cal, mag, iron and nitrogen.. insignificant for the most part but without knowing the tap ratio is a very conservative amount. That won't hurt and could help

If I go around 1400 ppm I get a more stable ph. But it burns the shit out of bubba. The sick plant. Other strains easily take the high ppm.

I wonder if I should give this plant it’s own res. Separate it from the others. Hmmm

Just in my experience no more than 800 has ever been needed.

Ok so what’s tour thoughts on feeding this water from the res to my coco plants? Seems a waste to dump it all. Perhaps mix it 60/40 with tap. Ph down again?

My coco plants get a ml /l calmag 400 ppm food. Normally

Pitch it

I agree but depends on transpiration rates. Some can't go over 500 and some can do 1200. The fact you can't go over 800 tells me you you have your temp/humidity in check. If I'm pushing my plants hard it's hard to get over 600 ppm and not burn em. Many ways to skin a cat but if I lowered lighting and moderate temps with high humidity then compensate with high air flow I can push 1100ppm and no burn. But not very optimal.

In a tent with LED, temp and Rh are almost Too Easy to get right.
If you need heat, slow fan and pull from top and exhaust out bottom.
Vice versa and speed up if uts always too warm.
RH is always just how fast your exhausting the tent. Slow it down and rh goes up.
Also RDWC systems are great for rh.

Yeah... You would be surprised (well I doubt you would but) at how many struggle with it.

Ok so new res mixed. 25G Into went 5 ml ph up. 8 g Mg 7 ml calmag 90 ml A&B 30 ml ph down. Letting it sit. Oh and 25 ml 30% h202.

It took 30ml to drop the ph?

it will take more yet.just pored it in.

 

[Aqua Man]

How much do you normally use? Seems a bit much. Then again I use 85% phosphoric acid and that is probably like 30% and the citric in it is nothing in my opinion

 

[myke]

I drained about 100 L from my 115 L system. I mixed about 90 L say 100 ml to get 5.9 .letting it run now.

So how many ppm did that add? Seems like to much... That would be like 100ppm? If so that's to much. I fucking hate that ph up shit. How can they recommend 1-2 ml per gal. do yourself a favor and order this next time it will last you a lifetime.

I used less ph down last res change when we did 1 ml per gal ph up.I just checked 6.4 added another 20 ml ph down. Ppm is 550. This is normal for me with ppm so low.

Do you have a Canadian place to order that potassium?

I question that PH pen maybe? Did you measure the PPM before starting the acid?

These guys are in Toronto but ship anywhere.
