Could someone give me a bit of guidance with my ec meter. Ive just started a seedling in an oxy pot (first attempt at hydro) and started feeding yesterday. I ph`d my tap water that has been stood and it was 7.4 , i added vitalink max a & b at 1ml / l , this brought the ph down to 6.8 . I then used ph down to take the ph down to 5.5. , used the ec meter and it said 134x10 , it is only a cheap ec meter as im on a budget. Over the last 24 hours the ph has slowly risen to 6.3 and is steady there and the ec is now 150x10. The temp in the tent is 26-27 degrees celcius and water temp is 21-22 degrees.
1.The roots are just above the water is it ok to start feed, its 2 weeks from seed?
2.Are the ec readings ok and am i right in thinking that the reading converts to 1340ppm ?
3.Im planning on changing the water in the oxy pot weekly , if the ph stays at 6.3 should i just leave it until its due to be changed?
4.At what point does the ec reading get to high, and do i then just change the water?
5.Are the tent and water temps ok ? I have had a read up read that the water should be cooler than the tent temp?
tia for any response , input or links
