So I have gotten to the point where I need to start testing my run off so I did. I came up with the same pH that I am feeding in Fox Farm Ocean Forest with RO water having 1/4 strength GH nutrients. I read 6.5pH from my runoff, but my ppm was exceptionally high, up towards 2400ppm while only feeding…

Thank you for being so welcoming, as has everyone else. I really appreciate the help as it relieves the anxiety of thinking I’m doing a horrible job :joy: I’ll be updating my journal throughout the rest of my grow from their current stages.

Do you have a journal for current grow listed under grow journals. If so tag me in. I’m following a bunch of journals sometimes I have trouble finding some. LOL.

@jetlag you can buy beneficial microbial solutions on amazon or ebay, or even your local garden center. Amending the soil with these products (as directed) will form the right colonies for a healthy symbiotic relationship, some form a branching network that effectually set up a nutrient exchange nea…

I picked up some Orca Mycorrhizae on Amazon, and it literally made my roots go bananas. If using these myco amendments, make sure that you only use them once they are in their final growing pot, or you will rapidly approach becoming rootbound in something as small as a solo cup.

I’m a little pressed on time heading out the door. I had issues with apera TDS20. I will link info on my journal. Link takes you to where I figured out what was happening. If you scroll up from there you can see where it started. Hopefully this helps.
