I’m resurrecting this thread... I currently use the titan flow and grow. Can anyone reach out to me? I have a few questions. You will save my life!!!
Well, that's not really a system specific question, more a general hydroponics one but I'll go in anyway.
IWS is the same system by another manufacturer. I pot based flood and drain with a brain and float valves etc.
Your PPM shouldn't be any specific number. It's not a be all and end all, you just use it to keep an eye on what your plants are doing. If it goes up over time, they are drinking more than feeding and vice versa. A good rule of thumb is to take whatever dosage your nutrients say on the bottle and half it or quarter it to start with.
7 times a day on a 24hr or an 18 hour day? I guess 24 which is every three hours which seems fine. What is the problem?
As a rough estimate. Your plants once they are in veg, maybe 8 inches tall with 4 sets of leaves, anywhere between 400-800. You can go up to 1500 in flower, but more isn't always more.
Yeah that’s the thing is ph won’t stay steady. I noticed ppms were rising as well as ph. I took out enough nutrients to get it to 500 and I saw it ppm were still rising. I dropped nutrients down to 450 and they still rose... it’s super weird, I can grow rooted clones in coco with 1200ppm from start to finish with absolutely no issues.Yeah I've heard soaking.. never done it myself. I rinse them thoroughly till the water running off them is crystal clear, then use them. Sounds like you are having more than transplant shock. pH is going to be the culprit i suspect.
