Slammin work! I think the time lapse was super neat to watch. That one leaf on the left plant just shaking and stretching. The one closest to the sensor/between the pots. It's like MOOOOOORRRREEEE POOOOWWAAAAAAA!!!!
Thanks mate!Slammin work! I think the time lapse was super neat to watch.
Yes, I think they are hungry for more food. Last night made up the next 5L of nutrient solution and upped the nutrients for that one. Before it was 3ml A/B, this one has 4ml A/B in it. Need to find another 5L container so I can drench both plants tomorrow or the day after...The one closest to the sensor/between the pots. It's like MOOOOOORRRREEEE POOOOWWAAAAAAA!!!!
Looking good, following along!
Thank you guys! It is much appreciated.Great work!
Sweet smokes,

Thank you guys! It is much appreciated.
Now I think I'm in need of some assistance. @Proph @Trichome farmer @pop22 @St. Tom @JSH1973 or anybody else who could chime in
Last night I did the drain to waste in the shower so the liquid could go somewhere. Ended up running 15L of nutrient solution through each pot in steps of 5L. But the strangest thing happend to me. Let me explain...
I can't get my head around why this would happen? Is 15L of solution to little for flushing approx. 18 - 20L of coco? Every time I ran 5L there was plenty of liquid running out of the bottom of the pot.
- The first two 5L solutions had the following values 6.02 pH EC approx.1800µS/cm. 400µS/cm of that was the starting value of the tap water. So 1400µS/cm of nutrients in the solution. What flushed through had a value of 6.56 and 6.29 pH and an EC of 1322 and 1328µS/cm. Not so bad, but I wanted to be closer to the 6.0 pH recommended for coco so I flushed again.
- This time the solution had a value of 5.75 pH and EC of approx. 1800µS/cm. What came out didn't make sense! 6.78 and 6.58 pH and EC of 1524 and 1582µS/cm. the pH had risen in stead of going down. So again I made another batch of solution.
- This time with a pH of 5 and about the same for the EC and again flushed the pots with it. What came out baffled me as the pH had risen again to 6.81 and 6.68.
I checked my pH pen with some fresh calibration liquid and it was off by 0.01. I threw the calibration liquid away, opened a new bottle and tested again with the same results. So the pen is not to blame.
Should I flush with pH'ed water only and with a higher quantity? Or is it because I didn't do a drain to waste every feeding?
What should I do? I really don't want to f#ck things up this run...

This is a time lapse from yesterday after the drain to waste after which I readjusted the LST on Bruce Banner until just now...

Hey Proph,I didn't catch why you're flushing.. Drain to waist? Or just watering to runoff? From what I've read you've been hand watering. Every dtw set up I've seen is on an automated feed with a res and flood tables or trays, so Im a little confused.
Thank you guys! It is much appreciated.

Thank you! And with plain water. Do you mean pH'ed down to 6.0 or just tapwater?I see clawing in your leaves, a sign of over feeding. You need to flush with plain water,lots of it as I believe you have a lot os salts buildup. I'd say these plants don't like the EC at 1.8 I'd drop it to 1.2 and see how they look. Also, rising PH could be too much calcium. I put about 5 or more gallons of plaint water through each pot. let them dry a bit the water with solution at a lower EC.
I'm using this recipe which I make myself. Got all the base materials at home and make it up for each species of vegetables I grow (pepper, tomato, aubergine, melon, and so on) in the greenhouse. It is completely setup for hydro as everything I grow in soil dies...What nutrient are you using?
