Gonna put you in so much control you can't beat bluelab I've got the combi meter and I had the ec stick before getting that also autoflower always try to go less feed rather than more
@St. Tom
Should I be using CAL-MAG every watering? It's raising my EC a lot. What is your EC for veg? I can keep my EC around 0.6 at .5ml/l of A and B.

For plants your age me personality I would be ramping me ec up slightly to no higher than 1.0 maybe 0.9 see how they respond also I would go with your feed schedule and run it at say half measure or if its canna just light feeding
Tap water EC is 0.1
Tap water PH is 8.0
After 1 ml/l of Grow A, 1ml/l Grow B, 1 ml/l Cal-mag
Final value is EC 1.1 and ph 6.5
So I disagree with the PH perfect claim. I used their recommended dosage and it was 6.5 and not 5.8 with a calibrated bluelab PH and EC pen.
I think because PH perfect nutrients have chelation and will work over a larger range of PH, that is why it works at varying PH levels. I will water with 1.1 EC and if the leaf burn continues I will lower it.

that ph may drift quite a while in an hour or check it later this evening but from when i make my food i leave it to sit for the hour before i ph , maybe just out of habit also i generally make say about 6 litres at a time at your age so I'm not making it daily and growbro ya going to smash it just check your ph hasn't risen or dropped each time before you feed
Thanks bro! Ya I can check it again and see where it is at. Thanks for the help and following along!

no problem bro tag me any time you need me as i see see that many journals i lose were I've been
Day 14. Lights are about to switch on.
Temperatures lights on are 75 to 78F. Lights off is 68 to 70F.
I am sticking with 1 EC and daily waterings. I remove runoff immediately after watering.
Besides some nutrient burn, plants are healthy and green. Not much to report. If anyone has questions then just ask.

Hey buddy got a question. I have been reading up on coco. I am a bit confused.
I water 10 liters nutrient water to 4 airpots.
9 liter airpots. I water one time per day. I get 5 liters of runoff. That's a lot more than 20% runoff.
I then check the EC. It is the same exact number as I put into the container, 0.9EC This is daily. Always the same exact EC in runoff as I put into the coco.
It seems like I am wasting massive amounts of nutrient water. 50% runoff is way too much. And the EC in the runoff is the same as the incoming water.
My plants are super healthy and green. Maybe I can stay at 0.9 EC but water only 5 liters per day? Between the 4 containers. So like 1.3 liters of water per container, per day. That should still give me 25% runoff.
Also, from day 3 onwards, I have always soaked the coco to 50% runoff. Lots of water. And .5 EC from day 3. Then onto EC 1.0. Some say you should not soak the coco with a seedling. They also say you should not use that much nutrients. Besides my little bit of leaf burn. My plants took it like champs. Is that normal?
Does this sound correct or an I completely wrong?
