One last question if you dont mind. How do you manage cleaning your res, feed line, and halos? What products? Let me know how you do it

Ok now it makes sense. Can't go wrong with RO water. Im gonna have to make it work with my good old 225 ppm tap water. With the auto feed system I might have to manage ph every other day I guess. Or I heard of people letting their tap water sit for 48 hours before mixing nutes and everything...

Hey I know this post is old as crap but im having the exact same experience with those exact same numbers. How did your plants make out?

I use gh flora trio. Only additives I use are armor si and calmag. In a 5 gallon bucket filled to exactly 4 gallons, when I ph'd down to 5.8, in about 2 or 3 days it was back up to around 7.5. Lately I've been just mixing nute solution and adjust the ph of each feeding in a separate container.

Also, about how often are you having to adjust ph of your res?

Yea I think I'll go head and install after my next res change

Thinking bout switching. Just trying to get some insight from someone with real experience with it

How long your king brites been running?

Good to know, and thanks for always giving advice. Also is there a such thing as being to late in the plants life to install them, as far as the roots are concerned?

I just had this thought as im about to install my hydro halos. Won't the legs or even other drip stakes potentially injure the roots as they're being driven into the media?

I have some hydro halos but I have yet to set them up. Im getting tired of hand watering my one plant, its pretty bushy. Do you guys have to ph your auto feed reservoir often?

Nah thats coco/perlite. Basically hydro so they say

Sadly this is mine 5 weeks into veg

And I have everything I need for auto feed setup but being that this is my first grow, I've been hand watering twice a day

So pretty much recirculating dwc with coco. I bet you barely ever run out of nutes, just ph buffer

My saucers are setup to auto drain into a bigger bucket. But you only reuse your run off water when rinsing coco with stronger or weaker solution after the runoff ec closely matches the intake ec? I'm just trying to clear up "recover your runoff"

This is how they look with 600 ppm, 5.8 ph, around 75°F average and 42% RH. I planted them in coco/perlite 37 days ago but didn't give em nutes til 2 weeks old. What you think? Also I topped both about a week ago

Right, imma up some pics in a lil while, keep in mind they're only 3 weeks old. I think the chart recommended low dosage to keep from burning the plants but also gives me room to tweak and raise the ec. It may have been a little better if he gave me like a range to be within

I'll put up some pics of how they're looking when my lights come on in about 3.5 hours

I'm saying, I already got run off ec back down to 600 ppm by rinsing a couple times
