A troll who offers no advice but mocks advice of others. What is your solution to nutrient lock ? Are these "Nasties" you speak of pathogens? Did you know microzides eat pathogenic paricites?Do you know most nutrient lines have molasses in their products? Does your nugg spark and taste like shit without flushing with fresh water or breaking down salt build up mid way in? How do nutes eliminate toxins yet fresh water makes them? Have you ever cleaned your air stones during a change out to maintain osomatic pressure?

I care not, because all my crops have happy tops. Just my advice, which does not mean much on here, but in real life it's valued with proven results.

Flushing doesn't do anything but cause deficiency.. I'm if sorry your weed sparks and tastes like shit. I don't have that problem.

How much Hydroguard should I use per gallon? Bottle recommends 2ml per gallon, I assume that would be 2ml per gallon every week when i res change, altho bottle also says it depends on what plant.

Hydroguard is just bacallis bacteria. Use what the bottle recommends or a tad more (imo). It will out compete other pathogens for their food source and keep your roots healthy. It worked for me.

Yeah, I'd like to know the reasoning behind that statement as well. Can anyone elaborate?

I don't know if this is scientifically true true true, but it made logical sense to me. When growing in soil and using additional nutes, when the soil dries out, the residual nutes stay in the soil, and when you water again, it will activate the nutes that previously dried up. This is not the case in hydro apparently. Soil growers would 'flush' with regular water at the end of the grow in order to use up the nutes that built up over the entire grow. So really, they are feeding the entire time. I never flushed my hydro grow and it turned out fantastic.

Problem Solved, I hope this helps future or other beginner grows, so if you are please read!!!

I got a ppm meter, my ppm was 180, my tap water is 100 so I was only at 80ppm!!!!

I have been starving it it's whole life, go figure, somehow it still survived lol
I have now been raising ppms up to 600 so everything is going much better now, all the leaves propped on up, curles on the tips of some leaves are still there but as i've read if a leaf gets damage they don't really recover. I kind of like how it grew out though because of the starving it seems to be on the short end with millions of branches.

Only thing is I got a pest problem now, but grabbed some sm90 from the store and sprayed em down. Hopefully that will solve that.
