All I was pointing out wa it’s not the same, as you stated it was ... bro lol. I also said that it may not be better, just not the same. You seem to get agitated easily lol. 4 setups, you must be busy lol.
I seem to get agitated easy, and thrn you put lol behind it..
What is wrong with you?
Again whats your point?
Remember the 3 post you started out,
Um not trying to be a dick but......

All i seen you ever do is try to poke holes in what im saying....
You dont do dwc and you dont know shit sbout it... Some shit you read and then a failure on your part.

Then you want to knock the beenies when all the beenies are pretty much the same..
Beenies are beenies ...
Its about price after that

Never even cared to use bennies unless there was a problem they arent needed with synthetic grows . Nor is running sterile

But im not saying they dont have benefits .
But ive done years and years without em at the same time with 0 problems and good results .

Well bro, you said they were the same, which they are not, so adding both might be of use correct, which was kind of the point after it was suggested to run both. That’s what I was referring to, sorry if I hurt your feelings by pointing out the fact that they are not the same. Ok you got this then, if your gonna get all hurt feelings :(. Beanies are not the same FYI, I’ve tried a few that don’t do shit.

Ya I’m thinking not needed but kind of helpful if running warmer temps but anywhooo I’ll leave it to them to sort ;).

So I have today’s update. Here are the girls side by side. Both have them have drunk a LOT of water since Monday ... ppms are the same, but ph is up a tiny bit for each and water definitely needs to be added. Should I add plain distilled water or add 1/4 strength nutes to it?

Here’s #1 - she doesnt seem to have minded the addition of the calmag! She even grew taller by 1/2”! And I think I’m seeing some new roots shooting out.

Here’s #2 - she’s getting big! She’s about 5.5-6” tall now

dont take your readings until you add back water
so
add back water
take readings
readings will tell you how much nutrients to add back

CNS17 is approx 50ppm per ml

so say you are running at 350ppm
you add back water to correct level
and you are now 150ppm
add back 4ml CNS
then check ph and adjust once nutrients have been mixed


if that makes sense

instead of doing complete change out's you can do this and only do a full res change every 2 weeks

Yup - makes sense ... Less full res changes works for me! Oh, do I add any more +life or no? I added to the #2 per Homie the other day, but haven’t added any more to #1

I would only add life every res changeout

so say every 2 weeks when you do a full swap out add more bennies

as for this type of "addbacks"
many growers actually go a full run without ever changing out their res
although I wouldnt reccomend that
but every 2 weeks is good

also CNS is great for this as it is easy to calculate since it is 1 bottle and we know the ppm of 1 ml
makes the math super easy

And remember the longer you stretch your res
Even though you can see a ppm reading it doesnt mean its still in balance even if it all came from one bottle it doesnt mean the plant is using one element .

This is the main reason why changouts are good

That and the fact you can tailor the feed easier then trying to guess whats actually left in the res.
As nutrients absorb as the plant wants it

Just a FYI :)

I know many who allow add back of water to the point where the ppm's are about 0 before they add back any nutrients
these are people with very dialed enviroments
where nutrients are depleted within 48-72 hours
then there are growers like Vader OG whom only do a full changeout once per full cycle...right after p/k week
so.....many avenues to take huh?

Lol in flower it will drink that wf bucket down in 1 day.. No such thing as change out... I f8nd 1.5 ec in the waterfarms to be excellent...
Drop to 1.3 if your ambient temps are above 80...
Just been my census.
Being autos error on the side of caution...
Keep thw buckets fr9m running low...
And try to keep everything environmentally stable...
That is pretty much my advice for the rest of the way....

True when its at full steam it will drink enough to where it doesnt matter because you will basically be topping it up every day.

I said what i said cause for anyone running bigger setups what i say is very true :)

agriculture would agree lol

I cant run the wf as long as the UC..
I dont why that is..
But when my ph goes willy nilly then i know its time for a change..
But ive ran the UC a month with no change out...
Having a 1 part nute is the biggest reason most likely...
I dont think ive ran the waterfarm with cns17 yet.
I also kinda wished i had some air diffusors in the WF since the drip is on a timer.. Well im gonna play it by ear...
So we are set up now..
20 cookie glues...
