Keeping in mind that again when I say rise in EC I'm talking .1or .2 over a period of a week or more depending on stage. This is all in a recirculating or ebb and flow setup with no media (the topic of the thread). As I have stated, the plants seem happy and if I drop the EC my girls will show it by general lightening of leaves slightly. As I have found with many discussions here there seems to be no consensus on pretty much anything, which leads me to believe that each setup has its own unique requirements. More importantly then, IMO, it is better to start with the basic concepts and tweak to the needs of your particular setup. I'm still tweaking and fear that will never end lol.
