Ok I flushed her back down with plain ro water then I fed her run off ph was 6.4 ppms 285.... I’ll head down and check her in 6 hrs and report back after I water her if ph doses drop I’ll Chang my res ph from 6.6 to 6

Holy shit iv been phing the water to 6.5-6.7 to make up for the crazy ph drops iv been seeing in 1-2hrs it goes from 6.6 down to 6.2-6.1 I’m afraid if I put 5.8 in it will burn my roots because in a few hrs it will drop to 5.2-5.3

What can I use?

Hydro guard?
yes for many years with many different setups... the reason u dont feed feed feed because the salt buildup causing the same problems hes having... u can either feed feed water or flush out ur medium half way thru...
as for ur other question about perlite retaining little water is not true at all... the way ur explaining this is as if ur using regular pots.. this method is simply a passive hydro system that wicks water from a predetermined sized reservoir. so ur medium and reservoir should give u min 2 to 5 days based on the size of the plant... usually 3 days on avg for a plant producing 2-4 oz

yes you do feed always. if you don't overfeed, you don't get salt build up.
sorry but a 2" res in a 5 gal bucket does not last 3 days for a moderately large plant in full bloom. even in regular DWC hydro, a plant that size drinks easily a gal a day.

This is nonsense. Please stop giving terrible information.
So it's nonsense that I called out a salt buildup in the beginning of this thread and told him to give only water every 2-3 feedings to prevent such things while ur literally saying the same regarding buildup having him do a heavy flush to remedy a problem caused by feeding everyday or as the other poster said "feed 2x a day"

How high are you? Did I say heavy flush? Can you post my quote where I said give it a heavy flush?
God the stupidity runs rampant in here sometimes.

i don't think you are grasping the difference b/t feeding and overfeeding. i've experimented with hempys where i fed them 4x a day. multi feeds doesn't equal salt buildup as long as your EC is low enough. and you get the correct amount of runoff.
