pH in hydroponics (auto-drip coco)???
Well i don't think there is a problem, but my bf is being a bit paranoid so we just want to be sure. Also, better to get everything right so it won't become a problem.
And to answer your questions;
I don't quite understand the question about style of the hydro :wtf:
Theres no watering schedule. The pump is on all day and all night so the coco never dryes out.
The coco just came in a black bag, that you could even use as a flowerpot (the store had one where they had just watered the coco, put the plant in and volla! a plastic bag plant pot!) so i doubt it should have been rinsed. We only watered it a bit to fit it in our pots.
The nutrients we are using are probably the best ones we can get in little Iceland. GHE flora series, which has a chart for hydroponics, and it says " Application chart; Aeroponics, Coconut fibre, Grorox, Rockwool."
Thanks a lot for the help so far :jointsmile:nalani Reviewed by nalani on . pH in hydroponics (auto-drip coco)??? I recently got my plants a hydroponic system, but keeping the pH level in it at 5.5 - 6.0 is really difficult. The water with nutrients in it is at about 6.8, and then we add "GHE pH down" which lowers it to 5.5 - 6.0. But after a few hours its back to 6.5. Could the problem be that the plants are eating up the nutrients and leaving the pH closer to clean water pH? :P And should i just leave the pH at 6.5 ? Oh btw, plants are just about 10cm tall, growing a bit slow compared to what i'm Rating: 5
