Wow CGI, thanks for dissecting my post Greatly appreciated! :thumbsup:

Ok so yeah I'm not going to follow the bottles advice for ppm range. Is there anyway to find what ppm range strains generally like? I know some strains tolerate or have more of a resistance to nute burn, but surely there are others that just love additional nutes?

Yeah your right, im over thinking the situation lol. I guess what I'm going to try is to increase ppms by 100 every time I change out the rez. So next time I will shoot for 500 and just see what happens. And of course if the plants start to develop a problem, I will adjust accordingly. (Dilute) ..

Good advice with the pH, I'm starting a log and I will check daily or every two days were the ppms and pH are going. But thats the FUN of hydro! I already enjoy it more then soil.

When I said ... Quote "I found it very interesting on how you talked about dialing in on true pH for the strain your growing. As I understand it, you check ppms daily and keep a log. All you do is adjust pH up or down, and keep a chart of ppms. When ppms increase and continue to increase, you are going in the wrong direction because the plant is stealing the h20 out of the res, correct?" Unquote ...... I haven't had to add any top off water. I was thinking in theory, I haven't actually seen any changes or have a need to take action right now. I was thinking upon how I would find the pH my ladies flourish at. But as you said, pH jumps around, usually in one direction, and countering this is important. I understand that fully. And time will tell how I need to counter it. So that gives me my answer on how to find a good pH range to try and sit at.

My biggest concerns was that I wasn't having enough nutes in my water for the plants, and when I saw my ppm range being low compared to the bottle... I was lost. But really, the ladies are doin great. Thanks again for the advice.

I haven't started yet, Im trying to get preparation done first :thumbsup: So I am doing a 15 basket DWC grow. I am using eight 18gal totes made by steralite. I have 12" diameter baskets, 2 per tote, which means one tote will have one lady all by itself. The air pump im using is a 385 watt pond aerator, 300L per minute, 0.05MPa, and it comes with a 20 outlet adapter. Here's my first question: If I plan Rating: 5
