Oh thanks.
I think I might make a tea with it
thats why I asked I didn't know to really take that seriously. The other stuff I always use don't have any nutrients in it.

Sup guys, thought I'd introduce myself.

I apprenticed for 2 indoor grows and now have a personal closet grow.

2x2x4
80mm intake on bottom right
80mm intake, back wall, middle height
Wired together w a 12v charger.
Screens on end of 4in dryer piping stuff. Piping lead out the closet and under spare room bed for fresh air.

Top left is 2 80mm exhaust fans
Wired to a 13.8v to work about 50% faster than intakes. Exhaust goes in attic.

Soil, FFOF w 1/3 perlite, bag of coco and rock wool chunks thrown in.
8in pot.
3 bubba kush seeds, 2 died, germinated 5 in distilled water.

The 3 left under 2 6500k and 3 2700k CFLs, varying watts. 1 hr dark time.

Switching to my 250w hid in a week or so then hps.

I don't lower the hid tho, I raise the floor to the light, got a 120mm fan on top right blowing directly across the hid and into the double exhaust, keeping temps perfect.

All covered in mylar, used in. plywood bleached then covered in garbage bag, then rebleached, then mylar then rebleached.

The door is just double mylar, the edgeswrapped in duct tape to stop tearing. Velcro and bungee cords

And another fan blowing on plants once they grow lil.

Been reading this site for a while, finally registered. Happy Growing.

Also the kush is femenized from MJSC.
BALLAST is electronic I guess.
Plan on LST & twisting the main branches to create stronger knots.
Using distilled water, pH is normal
and FF nutrients starting after 4 weeks of breaking the soil.

Germinated in cup for 18hrs then straight to the FF soil.

Experience is 2 apprentice grows, 4 months at a nursery, end Rosenthals book, countless online reading, lifetime smoking, and college course on UBDERSTANDING DRUGS.

it waas my beleif, that one of the causes of rising pH is that the plants are using more feed than water, which would kind of make sense. Do not take this aas gospel Only on my second DWC grow, so far from an expert, but i've done both using nothing more than a pH meter, no EEC, and judged the feeding that way....good results so far.

So would you recommend adding more nutes since she's eating a lot of less

if ppms increase and ph also increases then nutes too strong
if ppms drop and your ph increases then nutes too weak
if ppms drop but ph stays pretty stable then that's what you want. Don't know if you even have a ppm meter.
