so am i right, water temp should be 70-78, ph 5.6-6.0, start cuttings at 600ppm up to 1000 by end of veg., bud begin 1000 to 1800 at end of flowering and run plain water for last week before harvest. thats what i gathered from all i've read here. i figure raise ppm 100 per week and flush once when changing to bloom, and once mid flowering figure only veg clones 3 wks. change solution to bloom nutes 3 wk flower and flush 3wk flower flush and run pure water for the rest depending on how far along they are, so does that sound like a good schedule to y'all

I would agree in general, but you should use it as
a guideline and adjust to your plants.
Let them tell you exactly what they need.

no.
so am i right, water temp should be 70-78,
water temperatures above 70 degrees holds less oxygen than water at 65 degrees and by 78 degrees you are breeding algae at a good clip.

ph 5.6-6.0, start cuttings at 600ppm up to 1000 by end of veg

This may depend on your nutes. Start cuttings out with a small amount of bloom, some use an additive like Super Thrive and phd water. About 1 week add 1/4 nute solution and bump it up a quarter a couple times in the next week. By the end of week two you would be between 1200-1400ppm with the nutes I use. Although the product changes to bloom instead of grow I use that ppm until the last two weeks of flower.

If the strain you are growing flowers and matures is 7 weeks it is, and I did see you put some flexibility there so its probably a fine plan. There are differences of opinions about nutes. I think most would agree you should be at least 1200ppm by the time you get to flowering. There is not that much difference from grow to bloom nutes so the flushing would not be necessary. Reservoir changes should be all thats necessary until that final flush. If you do flush use 1/4 strength nute solution when you do, it does a better job than plain water. VV

oh oh oh i ment resivoir change at flower and 3 wks and flush last week well im close thanks for the tips im not gonna be startn my areogro for a while yet due to all the soil goin on now so i got time to learn as much as i can and i think i got a pretty good idea whats goin on so far. if my neglected bubbleponics system werked last year with no ph mesurement no nute mesurement no temp control and nutes from 3 years ago that i got frm a frnd no bloom nutes, but it grew was a little slimy, didnt get much out of it and was a mostly male heaphrodite but i think it will be totally differnt this time as i have more knowledge and the equipment to do it right and monitor it all and clones that i know are female so i think this time will be ok

looks like your heading down the right path. i am at 1200 ppm in my first week of flowering. whenever my plants tell me they need a good flush i just take each one into the shower and use the showerhead to rinse the salt buildups out of the hydroton. they like that about once a week ive seen. i change my nutes once every week to 2 weeks depending on how my res looks. this shit is alot of trial and error. and your plants will tell you what they want. just pay attention to your plants, play them good music, and provide the best environment that you can. they will return the favor.
