see i recirculate my solution back to res and take readings and adjust accordingly but myn are
clone fresh roots 0.5 to 0.7 ec after phing and everything then track it from there or go off colour of plants darker/lighter
but i never go higher than 1.4 ec really the whole grow and in heat spells even that has give me slight N tox before now

its good man i do so much better in hydro in its much quicker yields / turnover to less veg time you will like it if u want speed and yield dwc and active hydro like wilmas are the way to go man 100% hydroton but coco gives a sweeter/better taste tho
