    Default Hydro peeps help me get me head around it please

    Hey guys I've got 2x wilmas and I know what ratios to add of everything finally thanks to ganjagunman who I haven't seen around in a while, any hoo I wanted to ask how I know by reading the ec when to up the nutes what are the signs and also how can I tell where they should be? So say if I set it at 1.0 and it drifts to .8 is this what I have to increase the feed by is a .2 so new replenish would be 1.2 ec for example I have soft water at 0.2 ec so just wanted to basically know how I'd start and maintain thank you in advance

    I understand the basics of growing water air light heat, hydro should be 5.8 - 6.2 in ph for nutrient uptake and the waters temps should be between 19-21, temps 24-28 tops humidity in veg 50-70 and flower 45-50 also understand they need loads of dissolved oxygen it's just basically maintaining and knowing the tell tale signs or where I need to be when they need it thanks again

    Starting out including background ec 0.3/4
    After veg has started n they growing u check ec so say it's 0.4 am drops to 0.3 then top it up with some feed to 0.4 again do this a few days to make sure it feeding steady then go up a bit at a time
    If u check it and it's went above the ec then lower it by one again n re set ph 5.6 let it drift 6.2 n set back
    Do this always
    Once u get ec feeding again watch it steady a few days
    In veg max I use is 0.6/7 in water then as flower start increase more as it feeds but staying around 1.4/5 even if it's feeding more an dropping by .3/4 a day it keeps it hungry
    In veg u may find it stays same ec will be at save as day before this be sweet spot to hold it

    U can simply have a pump below pumping a open end hose onto the clay pebbles as a way of growing it as simple as this will work with. Air stone below
