The worst phrase ever.
I'm overwhelmed. Questions about Reservoir-/Nutrient-Management and how Plants take up Nutrients.

That's not exactly true. You can get ion specific ppm meters. Here's a few examples:
Nitrogen Meters - Crop, Soil and Water Testing
Nitrate Nitrogen (NO3-) Meters The following meters are meters that have ion selective membranes that selectively trap the nitrate nitrogen anion and is able to measure in ppm the amount in solution. Nitrogen is essential for good growth and high yields, especially in a plants early growth...

Potassium Meters - Crop, Soil and Water Testing
Potassium Meters Potassium is one of the three major plant nutrients along with Nitrogen and Phosphorus. The ability to measure potassium in soil solutions and fertilizer solutions is therefore a very important element to monitor. These meters can also measure other liquids for the presence of...

Calcium Meters - Crop, Soil and Water Testing
Calcium Ca++ Meters Calcium is critical element for plant and animal life. In plants it has many rolls including cell division building sugar and mass in the fruits and vegetables and will aid in increasing the shelf life. Calcium is much needed for animals to build strong teeth and bones. In...

Using promix and water soluble ferts is still hydro, just a low tech/cheap/forgiving system to run which is why it's popular with commercial growers.
Soilless peat/coco based mediums act as buffers to keep the root zone stable in an ideal range, pure water cultures like DWC/NFT/flood and drain offer more control/higher growth rates but also require more balancing as things can go sideways quickly with the buffer provided by a soilless medium.

Whoever coined "growmie" should be banned from all forums.

That's pretty sweet. It would cost a small fortune to run a complete analysis, but it wouldn't be a bad investment if you had a commercial operation.That's not exactly true. You can get ion specific ppm meters. Here's a few examples:

He's pretty chill, but I get annoyed by people who treat him as a cult leader and the absolute authority on growing cannabis. Same with Frenchy Cannoli when talking about hash.
Just what RollitUp needs - the speech police. If you've got an issue with my info, have at it. But when the source of that info "bothers" you or you have a problem with the term 'growmie', perhaps you should think about getting more sleep.

No one is policing you. Just as you're free to say "growmee" , we are free to say "growmie sucks".

Yep your over thinking it for sure. Its a weed it will grow. One thing I tell everyone new to hydro is always start nutes on the low side. Its much easier to detect deficiencies then to figure out toxicities or nute lockout all together. Second rule is you must change res water regularly. Thats how you know theres always available nutrients to the plant no matter which one/ones. If you start playing the "add specific nutes one at a time" you're going to fail its way too much to try and figure out. Just my opinion but this is what works for me very well.

It's a pretty common term on reddit, hopefully it stays there with the rest of the low quality info and grow bros...

Cool didn't know that... One day we'll have 70 meters sticking daily into our reservoirs and calibrating them daily LOLThat's not exactly true. You can get ion specific ppm meters. Here's a few examples:

Thanks that's a good advice! I've started on the higher side and things went bad really fast... The EC climbed very high very fast to about 2.2 EC for a 10 days old plant... Damn since then she isn't growing at all... But the last days she makes a comeback and is growing again. Slow but it's growing... She stopped at 10 days so grow is always slower the smaller the plant so I'll give her time and check her size daily and she is growing in the last 2-3 days.

The last days my EC stayed pretty stable. Then I've increased the light intensity... Now my EC has raised so I lowered it.
Looks like EC should be lowered when light is increased. Theres some websites on the net who say that too...
Do you guys observe this behavior too? When increasing light intensity the EC has to be lower and when light intensity is lower the EC can be higher?
And what do you think of increasing light intensity bit by bit at all? Years ago when people had no dimmer on their light they used full 400W HPS on their vegging seedlings from day 1... So why increasing at all? Could just start high right away with a low EC feeding so it stays stable... What do you think about that?
