Hey every one first time indoor grower many outdoors, OK so I started off in 15l buckets and had a good start a few ups and downs but learning lots, when it can to the flower cycle things started to get a little hard to control drinking way to much water in a day and my ec and pH were all over the place so I upgraded my buckets to rubbish bins 50l just over 30l to the bottom of the basket, I'm running GH at half dose and 15mls of pk I'm in the 5th week of flower plants are looking really good but I would have thought that the buds would have been more chunky lol anyway I had my ppm set at about 900 or 1.3ec very low I think for this stage, but the thing is my pH is still dropping slowly and the EC rises slowly I have now dropped them to 830ppm 1.1-1.2 ec and will update at the end of the day on what happens with the numbers, I was feeding organic boosters but they seem to play havoc with my pH so have cut it back to just the basics, I just want to ask if this is a normal ec for them to be at for this stage of flowering my girls are ak47

Some one will come along and give you an answer, I would, but I don't even know what EC means.

Some nutrient mixes measuring EC just doesn't work out the same as others. you especially have trouble if you try and measure organics. But if you're dealing with standard canna nutrients an EC of 2.0 is way too high. The highest I ever did when I was doing deep water culture was about 1.2.
