Fried leaves.. but pointing the right way at least lol

These girls are sitting on 3.5 gallon reservoirs and at their stage of growth the reservoirs will spike from 1.6ec to over 2.0ec after just a couple feedings, they are drinking over 2 gallons during a 24 hour period so I’m having to top off and adjust a couple times a day. During veg and early flower (stretch period) your ec will stay steady because your plants need more nutes but when they reach mid flower to harvest time you will have to bring down your ppm with fresh water when it rises.

Thanks bro.. those girls are looking absolutely sweet.. and they're getting through some juice.. do u think you'll put them on a bigger res to make it a bit easier or will u just keep topping up and adjusting etc?

Is the one on the right a grodan block in coco m8??

What about the white chem.. how in the name of nutrient overdoses is she still that green.. probably a bit too green actually.. but she's taken the beating overall like a true champ in comparison to the other 2 girls.. and also noticed she stinks the other night when I had them out for a top flush and res change.. can't really describe it @Born slippy .. I always struggle to.. but it was pure stinkin goodness.. rotten but so lovely

Ohhhhhh yeeaaaahh..

Just look at the flatness hahaha it's almost too much for me I will absolutely get this in my tent sometime in the next maybe 3/4/5 days wee jokes .. its in tomorrow.. drill at the ready no excuses

The pH of the 15-gallon res for my coco grow was creeping up so I had to add more pH-lower before every feeding (every 12 hours). I solved the problem by only adjusting pH for enough for one feeding at a time (2 or 3 gallons). I guess that's not an option with automated feeding systems like yours.

@Mañ'O'Green said that the different components of the nutes react together and cause the pH to change and may cause some solids to precipitate out of solution. That's whey they say only mix enough for a few days or a week max.

I hope you figure something out, pH lower ain't cheap.

***EDIT*** Oops, so blitzed on the purple kush oil in my cocoa this morning that i forgot the topic was EC, not pH. Sorry!

Are you aerating your reservoirs? That can help stabilize the PH.

Flush them with twice the amount of plain water the rockwool cube usually holds, but have them lifted off the ground on a wire grate or similar, this should rectify overferting issues in around 5-7 days.

Ok, sorry I'm a bit late to the show, but... Never ever flush with plain water! It must be pH'ed and the right amount of nutrients, although diluted, must be in the mix. Just plain water will damage the root hairs.

Set my new res last night at 1.2EC.. 2 floods later and its at 1.7!!! Wtf.. @Zaaboot @420autoflower any idea why my EC woild have risen so sharply after 12 hours/2 floods from a new res?? I'm baffled!

This could be several things, but most likely the cubs themselves. Next I would check out the reservoir, tubing and tray. They could contain salt and this will change the EC. For flushing the cubes you must at least run 3 to 4 times the normal amount of solution through them slowly. The slower the better... Sometime though it takes more flushing.

Temps were over 30 all night.. am I losing water to evaporation and thats leaving a higher concentration of salts behind maybe??

That's on the high side yes. And if that heat gets any way near the tray it will accelerate evaporation...
