Yeah.you running leds?
Yeah.you running leds?
weird, huh? wonder if strain plays much of a role in why some can and can't?Yes. I do use RO and coco.
Some use 321 and never need extra Ca or Mg.
that's the reason (most people seem to think so)Yeah.
Could you explain? I haven't heard of this until now.that's the reason (most people seem to think so)
Could be strain. I suspect environment plays a role. Most runs were with dual 315cmh over a 4x4 and running Co2.weird, huh? wonder if strain plays much of a role in why some can and can't?
as to the why, i don't really know. just seems to be a trend. better spectrum? less infrared?Could you explain? I haven't heard of this until now.
Double your ppms.Okay now I have completed 3 days with Jacks Ro And Epson , Its looking great for the most part they do love it , little bit of transplant shock but 3-4 days in now I can see they are eating now . Need some advice !
Using the ppm x500 /TDS scale
Measured 1/4 strength to the dot on the Jacks RO and Epson
Starting with 280ppm and 5.7ph they are in there 2nd week of veg technically. DTW
Runoff at first was like 10 ppm less than input now on day 4 runoff is hitting 240ppm so that's 40ppm difference to me it means there transplant shock is over..
Question is should I have used more Epson salt you can see from pics below that there are some very green and some not so lush with some calcium deficiencies obviously I know I should use more Epson ... Now should I also Up my ppm so I'm asking let's say I add a 1/4 more Epson to the mix should I also make sure I'm evening it with a 1/4 more Jacks RO as well or I should keep my PPM the same ? And just increase Epson first.
I was thinking doing a foiler spray of Epson now just to help fix the issue happening what is a proper Ratio Grams per Gallon if anyone can give me idea please and thank you..
honestly From what I have been told I shouldn’t need to I forgot to mention I’m running HPA system and this is my first time growing in it and first time with jacks if it where my flood tables in hydroton I would agree..Double your ppms.
That's a fantastic example of how to starve a plant 1.3 - 1.6 EC is needed for healthy plants with jack's 3-2-1. 700-800 ppm on the 500 scale.Okay now I have completed 3 days with Jacks Ro And Epson , Its looking great for the most part they do love it , little bit of transplant shock but 3-4 days in now I can see they are eating now .

ok I’m going to up it but only 2 of them are starved the other 3 are a dark green and healthy . so I’m basing this on my run off and what my run off is telling me is different it’s not like it’s consuming all that much . Will epsom salt increase PPM?That's a fantastic example of how to starve a plant 1.3 - 1.6 EC is needed for healthy plants with jack's 3-2-1. 700-800 ppm on the 500 scale.
I don't follow the logic. Magnesium sulfate will not address a calcium deficiency....

600ppm won't shock them, it will feed them. just stick to the 321 ratios.edit - maybe I’ll take your advice try it out for a day but I just don’t wanna shock them and get set back a week trying to recuperate
ya no I’m just realizing this thank you , I have always used AN so I had a bottle for everything u know ...I don't follow the logic. Magnesium sulfate will not address a calcium deficiency.
sounds good except I’m not using the 321 ratio there RO version is just one part600ppm won't shock them, it will feed them. just stick to the 321 ratios.
Can you explain in detail please?i feed mine in dwc 1x a day at 0.5EC.

That's what I was referring to. Feeding at 280ppm is not a good idea. The solution to your problem has already been provided by @PJ Diaz . Increase the EC of the RO 1 part to 600ppm and you'll be solid. Happy growing!Starting with 280ppm
Double your ppms.
DWC run drain to waste. remote res with a pump and feed lines out to each plant. the blue sight tube on each dwc is the drain.Can you explain in detail please?
the RO Ca is 7% and Mg 2%. do you know offhand what the 321 #'s are?? i wish the RO had Sulfur like 321.Jacks RO is a touch low in Ca and Mg, for some. My coco grow included.
I had to use a few ml of Calimagic for defs.
3 days on jack's 5-12-26 and the plants are loving it! Bye bye General Hydroponics forever
I love growgreenmi, they had it even cheaper a few weeks ago, grrr should have bought it then. I'll get a bag once I'm done with my current grow, I'll start using it with a fresh set of plants in May and do a journal.www.rollitup.org
