...or am I worrying too much?
I'm running a flood and drain system that floods every 3 hours. Lights are 20/4. I'm running Ionic grow at 1.6EC/5.7pH. I first thought this might be nutrient burn as I recently increased from 1.4EC, but it doesn't seem to be appearing on new growth.
Can anyone help or advise? Is this a deficiency or could it possibly be root-rot? The plants don't appear to be wilting at all and their growth is still good. The downside is that I'm growing in the tropics, the room and reservoir temp is around 27C.
I also did a full reservoir change about a week ago. I just read somewhere that you should just top up the reservoir for the first month to allow the roots to be established and protected with good bacteria. Have I made a massive error?
I'm just wondering what to do next? Shall I buy a couple of air-stones/pumps and start oxygenating my reservoir water?
Is it OK for me to lift the inner pots out of the larger pots to inspect the roots?
Cheers,
J.
