If you're running a high ppm feed, it's good to run a day of water every 2-4 weeks during flowering. Some growers just flush once when they change from veg to flower nutes.

Basic reservoir maintenance would say to change it entirely when you've added back 45 gallons of top off water. Barring that, every 2-4 weeks should suffice.

When you don't top off with plain water, the ppm will continue to rise. Adding plain water will bring it back to original levels.

In aeroponics, a 2-3 day flush before harvest is enough.

Very nice post Wes, loving life now. I have learned alot just from reading that =) Thanks again man

Looks like med pot advocate Dennis Kucinich is going to be on the Congressional panels dealing with drug policy- and I think you're right, the med pot playing field is going to change dramatically- but not until there's a Dem in the White House. As long as there's a zero-tolerance proponent in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the war on sick people will still continue in earnest...

Hey Pot Roast, could you elaborate on proper nute management. My setup is a SH bubbleponic 6 planter kit w/ SH nutes and foliar spray. (2 27 Watt CFLs, 1 CO2 boost bucket. Lets say we're starting from seeds.

Proper nute management means giving your plants everything that they want when they need it. It's simple.

Obviously, using a meter to know your ppm is the best way, but without that, you can go by the label directions, but don't use what they say. Start with 1/4 strength when the plants are small, and increase it to one half strength as they get bigger. Watch your plants, if they get too strong a ppm mix, they will react, usually with curling down leaf tips, or browning tips.

How much nutes they will use depends on the other factors of growth, how much light they are getting, etc. Each factor must supply what the plant needs for everything to work properly.

Hope This Helps

Question of PH.... Eb and flow system...rock wool..flowering stages..Ph jumps from 5.8 to 6 2 in 12 hours adding 10 mls of pH down per day. The rtock wool was washed etc....Whats up?

Then he did an experiment. He let the system go dry and it took three and a half hours before the cherry tomato plant showed any signs of water depravation, i.e. wilting. So he set the timer to one minute of watering, and one hour of drying in between each watering. The plants took off like gangbusters!

is this using rockwool , this experiment...

Greetings P-roast! I need help. I'm in the planning stages for a 4'x4' grow room in my home (actually it will be built under my deck witch is sbout 7' in height). I don't know if hydro or aero is the way to go. I know little about either. Also I have two very small plants (about 7-8 inches that have grown under some bunk flourescent light). They haven'y grown too much (7-weeks old) because of the weak light but they do look very healthy otherwise.
