That's what that chart says, but I say it's just hungry and bumping ppm will help. Me and charts have a history... we don't get along lol.

I feel you man. It’s really freaking hard to find proper vs improper information on the internet. A lot of wrong stuff gets said that even I catch onto sometimes, and often wonder what else is crock of shit, ya know?
I’ve used my lux meter once. Improperly. Not a clue how many inches high my QBs are. I’m using the cheapest nutes around lol. And this grow is becoming highest quality yet... I keep shit pretty damn simple, and it’s pretty damn easy.......
Idk.

Sometimes you just have to get your hands dirty or go with the gut... but it's always best to keep it simple.

Gonna be doing some wicked shit out there. Gotta figure out the hvac. I can do all the electrical and everything else but there’s no window unit in the world that will keep this thing cool so that’ll be the trick I think. Gonna be fun.

Cleared out a good bit of right of way today. Pretty beat. Been a long week.
Look up from the road. See the grey neutral wire? Then higher is a black primary. Can’t drop trees on those. The hill is STEEEEEP. Have to send the trees up the hill. Then cut the trees into bush sized pieces.

ok so if ph doesn't drop out of range it's considered "stable" ? so 5.9 dropping to 5.7 isn't a real drop?
if so then that means i fall under this category:
"hungry plant, raise EC. Very good situation to be in. Nute buffers are working and plant is taking in a balance of nutrients"
so tonight i will top off with RO to see what the drops were again and then i might nute straight into the bucket this time
i hate to fill it up with RO just to dump it and put a higher ppm mix in.

I would agree with that category more. There's no reason to dump a res if ph stays in range, ppm is dropping and water is dropping.

thank you - i was worried about the "potential acid rain" comment on the table lol... this makes more sense.

If your ppm was rising, then I could see an acid rain problem. You're ph is probably dropping because as your plant feeds on N, it releases H, so it decreases slightly.
A heavy P uptake will increase OH, so ph rises slightly.

My ph drops and my water lvl drops my ppm goes down by 20 a day . Been trying to up my ppm on the skunk and see how far I can push it .

20ppm a day is good darts.

You want to bump your feed so you average a 30-20ppm drop a day.
The chart you are looking at grows plants differently than I do. They don't top off with fresh, just check the bucket and top off like you were doing. Lots of guessing. That method sucks in my opinion.
The way I've been showing you guys is to top off with fresh, check ppm, then you know exactly what you're plant just did. By regulating your drops, you can control parameters that you can't with the other method. No guessing.

Forgot to post my set up . It’s in a closet so a little tight . Ghetto rigged ..yes . Will it be able to grow some plants.. let’s hope . Thanks to Moab for helping me solve my problem of lack of hydrotron . Picked a bag of reptile clay pebbles so I could top off my net cups.

Never win on vaults giveaways.

I’m not a huge fan of them. I like their involvement with the community and willingness to give free beans but shit I never have luck unless it’s a comparative. However my last comparative the candy dawg the beans took almost a month to show up thought customs got them so I emailed them and they sent a second pack and the day the second pack got delivered the first one came too. So I got 10 of the CDA’s and two shirts for free lol. I prefer attitude seeds over vault though fin in ordering over seas. I’ve been staying in the states though recently. I’m about to start ordering cannarado and jinx proof genetics after I make my barneys Farm order.
