Hello all,
I just want to make a quick question. I'm growing in hydro. I don't have many grows under my belt but i'm having good results anyway. There is a problem though which is hunting me in every grow and happens every time after (more or less) the 4th week into flower...
I have a combo EC/PH/Temp meter for constant monitoring and i'm feeding based what i see. For example if i see my EC going down that means my plants need more nuts so i add a little bit more into the mix etc.
When i enter the 4th week in flower my EC starts to increase little by little.. That means i have to lower the amount of nuts i give to my plants. Even if i'm at 1.2 or 1.6 EC the same thing will happen. I use flora series 1 part of Micro and 2 parts of Bloom (same like Lucas method). My plants and roots are very happy, temp/humidity too and i don't have any deficiencies either.. but i can't understand why my EC is keeps rising at that point i.e. from 1.08 to 1.16 in a day (definitely not cause of heat-water evaporation). Isn't suppose to increase the EC every week? The plants don't need more as they grow? I'm very confused..
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
