Quick question. I think I have my answer but curious to see what others have to say.
Dwc grow, barneys farm ww, and headband clone from a friend.
Setup: 5gallon bubble buckets. Hydrafarm airpump 15L/min. 5in air stones each bucket. 3x3 tent, 1300watt led,100watt supplement CFL, humidifer, 4in inline running air out to dryer duct.
Running Advanced nutrients (grow,micro,bloom). Temps with lights on run 76-79f, off 71-73f. Humidity stay around 50- 60%. Bucket temps between 63-67f.
Vegged for 5weeks. Topped and lst throughout.
Started with175ppm, ph5.9 each bucket until tru 5 finger leave present since they were clones(6-8days?). Jumped to 375-400ppm for 1.5 wks. 3rd actual week of veg, jumped to 700ppm. 4th&5th week to 950-1200ppm. Res change. Flipped to 12/12.
Never any sign of burnt tips or stunting.
Plants look great, bushy and healthy.
I started looking at my 'ec' readings and I'm always 2.7-3.0 which I'm reading is way to high. I correct ppm on mondays only and always top up with filtered water that has a ppm of 120 and ph'd to 5.9. I might bump each bucket with a few mls of bloom to keep my ppm up near my target # mid week.
2nd week of flower. I started adding 'moab'.
My water level is fluctuating as it should, ph always stays at 6.0-6.2 now that I'm in flower. I never need to put any buffer in mid week when I'm checking numbers. No sign of any problems. Should I even be concerned about these 'ec' readings?
First hydro/dwc grow.
Thoughts?
