    Why does my reservoir's PPM increase over time? How do you maintain an ideal PPM throughout your grow?

    I grow in DWC hydroponics. I have been finding recently that no matter the PPM that goes into my reservoir, I have to add water every so often to keep it down in the ideal range. I am very interested in why this happens, if it has something to do with nutrient quality/type, salt/nutrient build...

    Using Fox Farm Hydro chart with coco

    There seems to be no definite answer to using fox farm hydro feeding chart with coco. I guess a lot of users don’t use FF with coco but I have some leftover FF from soil runs awhile ago that I figure I need to use up before spending money replenishing my canna nutrient line. Might as well use it...

    Feeding

    Hi guys! What is the perfect time to stop giving nutes to the plants? Is it like 1 week or 2 weeks before harvest? I'm at week 9 (63 days) with my white widow auto and it should be finished like 75-80 to 85 days. Today is food-day and I thought of giving them one more blast before harvest...

    FFOF nute strength.

    I know that people usually say you can go about 4 weeks without feeding when using FFOF but I think it’s actually much longer than that. Typically I never tried it until now but whenever I used FFOF I always started feeding around half strength after 4 weeks and would get some kinda burn. Since...
