Just to clear up the air, i would rather use GH ph down as phosphoric acid is also food for the plants vs using sulfuric acid, I only posted this info incase someone else is having issues keeping their nutrient tanks clean of bacteria.
So im back after many experiments and would like to share my findings with you guys.
I realized after many may hours of reading that the issue was with my ph down, yes ph down lol.
I was using general hydroponics ph down which contains phosphoric acid and this happens to be food for bacteria...
Excellent idea, I have not checked for blockages. I will do that today as soon as lights come on. Each meter is kind of attached to it's system so I can take it off but it would be a pain to be honest
Bluelab is not able to be calibrated but I can calibrate the hmdigital.
I just find it hard to believe that system 2 is eating so little with having more plants vs system 1.
hey all,
I have a situation which i cannot figure out so i am here to maybe get some answers.
I have an RDWC system ( 2 of them ) 4 lights each.
System one has 20 plants under 4 lights and
System two has 24 plants under 4 lights.
Now Yesterday i did a water change and my ppm was 1000 for system...
did your light come with a ppfd map? like how much light it puts out at given distances? im asking because 200watts might not sound much but if you get it too close it could be more then a plant can handle, normally in veg state u want to be 200 to 300umols/m2 , now if you dont have an expensive...
