Huge thank you to @repins12 for walking me through building this hydro system! to you my friend.
Strains in this are GSCX, Cherry Pie, Blue Cheese and a Banana Kush clone. All ILGM strains.
Once you have run on water for a grow or two you’ll see that your PH will rise and lower at different times of the grow. It’s common to see PH rise slowly over the first few days after changing out the reservoir, so it’s totally common to see people set their starting PH at 5.5 or 5.6 knowing it will go up to 6+ over the next few days. So can definitely play with the range (and there are reasons to do so, if you want to dig into it) and let it naturally work it’s way through. I personally prefer something more like 5.6-6.0 for my range. In general 5.8 is a safe # for all stages of growth in hydro. Different nutrients are more or less available based on the PH. MOST of them are available at a PH of 5.8.
to you my friend.
