Thanks man o green for your help! The PPM is the water and nutrients going into the Coco when I water.

The 7.6 pH and the very high PPM is the runoff today.

I'm using Remo nutrients. Below are a couple pics from today. As I mentioned before we are on day 25.

Ok I see that they can use some more nutrients. you should up them to 500 PPM not counting your starting water. I do need to know your water PPM before you add nutrients. Aerate your water for a day or two before you use it. Just use a plastic bucket with an air stone and aquarium pump then add nutes and PH to 5.8. This will help stabilize the PH. I try to avoid flushing most peeps just flush all of the good microbes out with the salts.

What kind of lights are you running?

That’s a good bit of advice. I’ve noted that in the back of my head....

Now to the business at hand
I know we used to buy at Herbbies quite a bit. Are the still safe? Do I use a credit card, cash?
I have some learning to do here.
Some lights are burnt out in the grow room, I don't know what kind or were to buy them. Any help would be welcome.

Where be you at, as different countries have different issues with credit cards. The US, as I understand it, is a bit uppity because, well, "Drugs r bad, m'kay" so CC's are refused for transactions where you buy seeds, in Benelux they refuse to accept them because the charges from Visa/Mastercard are so high (not just seed banks, many regular stores refuse to take Visa/mastercard for that reason) so you're down to Paypal, if that works, Western Union, Cash, Money Order or, if you're lucky, debit card depending on the country and your own bank.

As others say, what kind of lights do you have as they may be simple to repair.

@Mañ'O'Green Well I'm already there my friend . My ppm is NOT including the water ppm which sits at around 150ppm out of the tap (so I am adding around 350ppm of nutes to get to the 500ppm). As far as the water is concerned I use 5 gallons buckets and leave the water exposed to the air for at least 48 hours before using it. I then add the nutes and ph to 5.8 before feeding.

On a side note...I am also using a garden enzyme called Enzyme Komplete at the lowest dosage. I ph after the nutes and enzymes are added.

As for the lights...800watt cob led full spectrum ...actual draw 215watts

Are you saying that a flush may not be worth it? Is it worth a try?

 

[Banjacked]

You have to add a lot of supplements to the nutes.

Think he's been overdoing it, I see some burn on the first and fourth buds.

Wow I just looked up that Enzyme Komplete I would not use that on a live plant.

You need 650 PPM if your water starts at 150 PPM. If you are not aerating with an air pump you are not precipitating the calcium carbonate. Then when you put it in the coco the drying action concentrates it causing PH to move up.

Remo has a lot of products are you following their charts with all products? At minimum you need the 4 base nutrients in balance. It is important that you understand what I mean by balance. If you do not already know about leibig's Law of the minimums look it up. It is very important in hydro.

It also looks like you need to lower your lights or get more?

Ok thanks again! As for the enzymes...I was told it was very safe for live and young plants...maybe I'll stop using it. Right now I am using MagNifiCal, Grow and Micro. Once in flowering I will be using MagNifiCal, Micro, Bloom and Astroflower.

I will look up the "leibig's Law of the minimums" and read it tonight.

So do you think I should try a flush or start lowering the ph (within coco range) to slowly bring it down? How do I try to resolve the PPM issue?

well my chin just bumped into my chest.......... time to hit the hay.

Good night AFN.
