High everyone,
thanks a lot for all your valuable inputs. I think all of you are right to a certain extend.
A very big plus growing with coco is, that you can flush the plants - do a kind of reset, and start anew.
This is what I did. Then I measured the runoff after the first 5 liters (approx. 2.6 gallons) and got the following values:
- pH between 5.8 to 6.3 seems to be quite ok
- EC between 1.24 to 2.33 not that good…
Then I prepared 6 liters of nutes including 15 ml BLOOM, 6 ml TOP MAX + 20 ml BIO HEAVEN.
EC of this mix was 1.02 (minus ec of tap of 0.38) = 0.64
pH was 6.9 wich I reduced to 6.3
After flushing all 4 plants with 20 liters (approx. 10.4 gallons) I gave all of them one liter and got a pH from 6.0 to 6.4 and ec values from 1.01 to 1.25 out of the run offs.
I think those are good values to go on with.
What do you guys think of this ?
Edit. I ll share a pict or two in about a week so you all can see how they re doing…
