Ahh sorry ph pretty steady with the hygrozyme at 6 I drop it dow to 5.7-5.8 and in a few days makes it way to 6. My PPM (using the 500 scale is currently like 1300. So last reservoir change I did the ppm prior to rez change was 1200 after was 950, the plant started leeching nutrients until it balanced out.
A little background on this plant the stalks are huge, I definitely vegged a lil too long but that’s because I put my SCROG net on really late. So I’m not sure if the plants are just really big? My 17gal reservoir is almost covering the bottom with roots.
What can I do to lower the ppm without causing the plant to leech nutrients?? Also it is a good possibility of having too much ph down in reservoir as well.
Well just lower the food. What your saying is ppm drops a lot ea day even at 1000-1200 ppm?
No the ppm slowly rises, last time I changed the reservoir and the ppms went from 1200 before to 950 after. the roots turned really brown because it was leeching nutrients back into the reservoir. Also the ph was climbing rapidly like overnight.
Hydroguard is beneficia bacteria and hygrozyme is an enzyme that eats dead roots and material
What ?? Ppm rises or lowers??
Roots look daily healthy little stained from the nutrients leeching out but other than that good and white
Okay so when I changed the reservoir last the ppms raised quickly. So did the ph. Once it leveled out now they are slowly raising and the ph is stable
Any good references for sanitizing besides just put some hydrogen peroxide? Could it be that I put too much ph down trying to balance out the the constant ph rise in the beginning? I’m going to dilute the water from 1300 ppm when I get home she’s drinking plenty of water
If ppm is rising your too high,water drops as their drinking but theres food left behind.PH rising is good, when it drops is when you should be concerned.Normally root trouble when pH drops.
Okay I’m going to slowly dilute the solution back down what is a good ppm going into flower my nutes have it at like 900-1000.
You want ppm to drop with water level or close.So drop the nutes say 600 and see for a couple days if it drops go to 700 and see.Listen to your ppm meter.
