Autocobs are 15in above canopy. Air domes turned on at day 10ish, started the res on day 12-13ish. They are growing like crazy already.

I have my first real question... So, I'm running the Dutch Pro nute line at 1.2 ec (600 ppm) and the SODK is showing signs of nute burn. The Green Poison isn't showig any signs of an issue. Sooo, how do you address issues on s single plant? Do I turn off the res to that pot and hand water it at a lower ppm? Or mix a lower ppm feed with what's left in the rest now, and let them both feed off of the lower ppm mix? What do you think is the best way to go about it?

I run multiple reservoirs when necessary. A 13 gallon kitchen trash can or a 5 gallon bucket can be converted easily with a top hat grommet and a filter to work as a reservoir. Although, I have to agree with pop, if you can find a sweet spot like he does you will be golden.

I've converted waste baskets about the same size and shape as the res, into a res. auto pots has the parts you need to do so. I've got a res now, the same shape but taller and wider, that holds about 20 gallons. Got it at Lowe's for $12.00.

I run multiple strains all the time. Keep the ppms down, no need to try to force feed plants. I'm finding 500-525 ppms to be working fine across multiple strains.

I go by ppms, but in water with a starting ppm of about 70 ( RO water with 70ppms cal/mag added ) 1 tablespoon + 1 t.easpoon in 5 gallons of water is about right. Easier to use a measuring spoon than to be weighing the nutrient.

What about your PH? Where do you keep it?

 

[pop22]

I'm using a blend of soil and coco. I run my res at ph 6.5. I also use a ph of 6.5 when running coco. I've found I have no ph related issues when running at this ph.

What's the split again?

2 parts soil, 1 part coco. And now I do what I call the permanent pot. Sorta like no till. I just cut out the stump, and plant in the hole! On my fourth grow doing this and it works well, I've had no issues. I may dump the pots at the end of this grow, bust up the rootball a bit, and a little fresh coco and soil then back in the pot it goes! No need to worry about disposing of medium! And it shows that even using Megacrop for nutrients, there is life in the soil. the roots breakdown quickly. As an experiment, I kept a pot in the base after chopping the plant for a month, then removed the stump. Just pulled it right out, most of the roots had already broken down.

When I cut out the stump, I have an old, serrated kitchen knife I use. I cut a hole slightly smaller size of my starter pot and push the new plant into the hole, slight;y compacting the rootball, like putting a plug in a sink lol!
