I know that they aren't gettin over fert because the EC is in range. EC above 1.8 in normal environments is too high for most mature plants even.

When mixin in a big 60L reservoir its easier to add the right doses. But in a 10L bucket the concentration rises too quick for some reason. I can't add the full dose of Big Bud with enough room to fit the rest of the formula in the bucket before the EC reaches above 2.0

Though I know they are within the right EC range I do not know if the balance of available elements is optimal. If I mixed in a bigger reservoir then I may as well grow more beneficial erbs as not to waste half the solution every time.

This time I am working in a smaller space approximately 5' x 8' in measure, which is actually a custom partition in a small bedroom. The room has been implemented from scratch. A 4" x 2" timber frame was cut to fit, MDF panels were cut to fit, and a custom sliding door was installed due to space issues. The Garden has 2 x 160mm unfiltered air inlets from outside. Rating: 5
