When I got my ph and ec pens the first thing I did was check my ppms. When I seen the 50ppm I thought that we was good and we didn’t need one. I was looking at an R/O system last night before I went to bed thinking it must be the well water. I’ll buy one this week and get some distilled water for the new seeds until I get it hooked up. Hopefully that will solve my problems.Spent all that money but did not buy an RO unit for the well water?
If you want to do hydro I think it is a must have...makes life easier. Then you know exactly what is in the water...only what you put in it. That well water already has a ph of 5.5??? That is bad stuff.
Turn the light all the way down and move it way up...like 4 feet up.
Keep it simple is the best advice.
I run sterile hydro with jacks 321 in ro water.
.4 ec for seedlings. 0.8ec for a small plant.
1 ec for veg. Then I just read the plant and the ec of the res. If they are eating a lot raise it up a lil.
I stunted a lot of Autos learning my lights and environment. They will be fine. I grew huge plants that I stunted for a month. They will just take a lot longer. And that defeats the purpose of an auto but such is life.
My guess is your well water is junk. With RO water i do not use ph up or down. The nutes put it at the correct spot.
We wasn’t sure about getting to high with the light and causing stretching. So 4 ft should be a safe height?
