AK-47 in E&F - rockwool/clay medium (First Grow Log)
Well I checked the PPM before I went to bed at about 3am and it had climed to about [email protected] and the PH as still sitting at 5.6. This morning (8am4/06/2009) the PH had dropped to 5.4 and the ppm was up to [email protected]. I'm really not sure whats going on here. So far now I've added 3 gallons of tap, and 1 gallon of DI water I purchased from the store, and my ppm just keeps going up while my PH keeps dropping. My lights come back on at 5pm today and the first watering will be at 5:30pm so I will most likely add more tap water to try and nock the ppm down again. Also, I've already got some of that brown sandy like sediment buildup already happening in the bottom of my resv. Also, I added 50ml of H202 this morning at 8am as well.
My main concern is that there is some element in my tap water that is making my ppm go up but I don't know enouph about that kind of thing to formulate an educated opinion on the matter. I'm also affraid with adding so much water that I'm deluting the amount of nutrients in the resv. and the ppm buildup is from some unkown element in my tap. Anybody got some ideas? :wtf:
