    let ya res ph swing set it at 5.6 then reset it once gets to 6.2, plants looks healthy enough a min mate you ya doin sumfin right

    ec can be little tricky in auto pots though tbh, as you bottom feedin them now i take it? but whats the back ground EC of your tap water? (fill a glass water up from the tap an pop ya meter in an see what it reads)

    Gramps you do realise lowering the EC is weakening the formula.

    117 ppm @ 18.5 degrees
    234 ec tap water @ 18.5

    Oa water ph @ 27 degrees 5.0 ph
    Ph after adding a an b 6.3 ph
    Ppm 1011 @ 27 degrees
    Ec 2022 @ 27 degrees
    Added 2 more liters r o to a 3 gall mix brought ec down to 1870 @ 27 degrees so its not working on this feed cos all im doing is weakening the formular ...so decided to leave it ...next time around it in soil...not coco again ...
    Then after im changing to another type of organic nutes ...
    Even the base nutes in oa is reading ec 1628 and
    Ppm @ 814 @ 27 degrees
    Ph at 5.0..
    After all done and mixed up good ph was 6.3 so brought it down to 5.6...
    Thats me finished with ec
    It cant get both bang on ..
    With out weakening the nutes ...so fk it ... at least my ph bang on temps bang on .now my humidity bang on ...i can keep it steady 50 ...temps steady 25 to 28 ..there just poking the heads through the net in 2 weeks .... so here we go trying a scrog ...read lots but
    Any help much appriecated.
    The nets are tight but maybe a little high at almost 2 foot above 25 liter pots ..so next time i think lower maybe 15 inches ?dont have head room under stairs...but enough room for 6 x 25liter autos ... a butt and 3 lights if needed .... smoke bombed 1st to kill any crawleys cleaned all in detol then milared the floor and walls white to floor and diamond silver to the walls ... so should all go well with alittle help from you guys ... is it safe to put fotoes upon here ??or do i need another mail addy just for here??trimmed 4 bottom small branches on all the girls misted um good with phd ro water now there happy again .
