That coco? If so your run off is too high.... ph your nutes to 5.8 and flush it through. 1400 is quite high so you wanna make sure you are getting enough run off
No it’s fox farm ocean forest
Why are you adding calmag? I think that's more for coco coz coco eats calmag itself.
I’m using RO water, I was under the impression it’s required when using reverse osmosis since it stops all the minerals front the water
Gotcha.... if you can I wiukd stop using ro water. Its fairly pointless for a soil grow unless there is real shit in your water
You absolutely need calmag with RO water. Theres no calcium in RO water. Tap water has all the stuff RO and distilled water doesn’t. I would suggest getting your ph to 6.5-7. You may be experiencing a lack of nutrient uptake.
So I’ve been adjusting input water to 6.5. Run off is a bit lower. Should I water with 7 the. To try and bring it up?
I think so yeah.
To be honest, I’ve never bothered with testing my runoff, and I use both growing styles, bottle feeding and dry amendments. I use to be all caught up on that stuff, but soon realized I was over complicating a simple process. Ph what goes in, trying to control what comes out will have you chasing your tail. Stick between 6.5-7 and you should be ok. What type of Ph pen/meter do you have?
Yeah the ppm meter does. Water is usually 65-70.
When you say 65-70, what exactly do you mean by that? I assume 65-70F. Most powders calibrate at 25c, translates to 77F.
Yes Fahrenheit
Ph at 77F and see what difference the readings give.
