ok, one more question now......the night has passed, got up and checked the plants.........to be honest here i had let's say a small problem with my EC because (the stupid ass that i am) i did not calibrate the EC meter right away when i bought it and had some nute burn on some plants....i did the calibration only yesterday to realise that my EC on both trays was 2.3 (a bit high huh?)....anyways after calibration and adjusting of the liquid on the tanks the levels of EC where stabilised at 1.5 at both trays with pH at 5.7 and 5.9 respectively....the nute burns have started dissappearing from the plants in question and all 23 plants look great..

now, i have changed the watering schedule into 15mins on and 30mins off and somehow it feels just right for this stage...i can clearly see the roots growing large into the channels that are located on the NFT tray and they look great....no signs of browning (rot) or anything unusual...also i leveled the trays a bit up so as they drain well after every watering as the rockwool cubes leave some hair from them , hair that goes straight to the drain hole and block it which in return does not allow the water to drain and thus transforming the tray into a ''swimming pool'' for the roots....
anyways, should i top the nutrient levels in case EC falls a bit? for example after tonight the EC has dropped by 0,05 in both tays (from 1.5 to 1.45)......i am going to change the water in the tanks on monday as it is scheduled for that day....pH is at acceptable leves at 5.9 and 5.8 respectively, no need to adjust that
i guess i will stick to that watering schedule (zandor thanx again) for the entire veg state and when i pass into flowering i will change it to 15mins on and 15 mins off. i suppose that the plants will drink more water then





take care

newgroweroldsmoker Reviewed by newgroweroldsmoker on . appx water intake?? has anyone measured the amount of water taken in by the plant when they water it? i would like to kno this, as most plant would have a relative similarity in the amounts, and it would let me kno if i overwatered/underwatered.. i'm planning on using a spray/mist system.. most likely i'll be watering it manually.. best way to do somethin is by urself :) Rating: 5
