Good afternoon all
This is my 1st visit to the site so I would just like to say hello, with that said I will get right to it,
View attachment 2421112View attachment 2421113I Just rececently switched from soil to a waterfarm set up 15gl res and a circulating air pump useing 4 buckets turned into a dwc setup, elimenated the driprings and bucket inserts and replaced them with air stones and 6inch netpots sittiing in ordinary square bucket lids (got all this gear from a guy getting rid of a ton of stuff cheap) included were 2 ppm penns an EZ test penn and a brand new BlueLab penn,
I'm not sure if I'm haveing a ppm problem but I have 4 in veg in FoxFarm hydro about 4 weeks old and for the first couple of weeks they have been in a mix of 180ppm (old penn) or 210bluelab (.030difference between penns)either way they look great, velvety green with lots of growth, after 2weeks I changed out the res and brought PPM's back to 210(BL) after a week PPM's started dropping, ppm has been dropping.020pts per day if I add a few dropps of FFhydro to the res within 4 or 5 hrs the plants start to get darker, by now my res has the ppm of tapwater .077ppm(ez)-110 (BL) , do I just keep adding a few drops per day , or change the out the res,if I change out the res do I go full strength I dont want to burn them, other than the BlueLab reading .030 higher both penns reflect the low ppm, .... also i see guys with 1200ppm, If I went over 200ppm useing FF hydro on any other dwc grow that I've done I would get burn how are they running such big #'s..............hope I wasnt to long winded and sorry for any question that should be common sense,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Thanks for any help
