maybe consider a water filter or one of those chlorine removing water hose attachments. It's not like your water is unusable, you just want to factor in the existing EC if you end up feeding with liquid nutrients.
only Using dry amendments like DTE 444 and some rabbit manure. The soil is FFOF, coco, compost, worm castings, black cinder and a bit of 444
I’m reading that some indica strains could need up to 2.5 EC. Can anybody comment on this. Note also that my .68 EC reading is only from my aerated tap water bucket with nothing added.

Thats only if you are feeding salt based nutrients. You dont have to worry about that if you are using dry soil amendments, just want to maintain consistent moisture in the top few inches of your soil to keep your microbes happy, so they digest your amendments and make it available to your plants. Mulching helps alot with that.

drip systems help immensely and super easy to set up. You won’t need to worry about ph as much if you are just doing dry amendments. As long as your ph isn’t too crazy to begin with.

Ok, going to dry that. What would you recommend? Those terra cones with a bucket and a bubbler?

I use a 20 gallon trash can as a rez, with a submersible pump that is attached to a smart surge protector I can control with my iPhone. Everything else is just basic drip tubing and 1/2" pvc fittings from Home Depot.
End of week update. They seem to be doing much better since the transplant. I gave them a mix of epsom salt yesterday and saw an immediate improvement. All the leaves were shooting upwards, they were happy. Probably should have gave them epsom on day one. Started low stress training on a couple. It’s the right time to begin that, right? Ordered the tropf blumat.

Big improvement since the last pics. They will really start to boost soon and once you get your blumats dialed in they will really take off with the consistent moisture.
Really appreciate your help. Thank you very much for your guidance.

Girls are happy and so am i. Was going to do low stress training but not enough space so will let them grow as is. Thoughts?
also, since i have wholes on the side of the containers, gnats have been coming around. I have neem meal but hear it kills also the good bacteria in the soil?

Flipped these a couple days after the new year.
Some Chem d, wedding cake, runtz, 92 og, cherry Chem, and strawpicanna.
For some reason been having a couple aphids on the Chem D only, luckily not root aphids, but still annoying. Did a bioceres spray the other day, hence the residue on the leaves.
I love using trellis now, but it does make for more work during harvest. Hopefully one day I can get rid of this ghetto ass shed and into a real greenhouse, but it works for me for now.

Runtz day 40, not really yielding for shit this time of year, but the buds are dense and smell is insane. One of my favorite smokes.
