Are you quoting PPM or µS/cm? Because my meter is showing µS/cm in the picture. When I put the EC pen into PPM mode it should show about half of that value. Last night I mixed 10L of solution (EC 993µS or 496ppm - pH 5.87). Is that double of what I should give? If so, that's been a stupid mistake on my behalveYour EC meter is nearly spot on with my calculations and you are feeding way too much for Autos. Half of that is plenty.

my best advice is I know its a ballache but make sure daily shes getting plenty of run off that's your best thing to stop lockouts etc but make sure shes not sat in it if that makes sense broAny suggestion guys? Was thinking at flushing the cup with 1L of nutrient mix? MC 2-part 1000µS/cm (500ppm) and pH of 5.85.

The mix I've been using now...And this was diluted from 4 liter to 7 liter. ie, I added nutrients for 4L and added 3L more water. So I'll be mixing for 4L and dilute to 8L. Then I'll probably will end up with around 1000µS/cm'ish.

This is how she looks now @ day 49

Yeah, I was thinking the same. I've raised the solocups about an inch/2cm above the tray so any runoff doesn't stay in contact with the roots...my best advice is I know its a ballache but make sure daily shes getting plenty of run off that's your best thing to stop lockouts etc but make sure shes not sat in it if that makes sense bro
Hey Mom ♥ ♥ ♥Morning hon!
You are correct in the assumption that this mix is to hot. But, when I talk about the EC value I always use the µS/cm scale instead of PPM. Why... well that's because there are three scales for PPM (ppm500 scale, ppm650 scale and the ppm700 scale). I find this confusing and have always wondered why people use them when there is a universal (µS/cm) where all those scales are calculated from.Take what I say with a grain of salt...but I think 11g for 10L (2G) might be a little too high. Plus, these ladies are VERY touchy.
I never go above 700ppm with autos....and the one time I did it was with a voracious eating gorilla glue. I usually max at about 600-650PPM.
My current Wedding Glue solo cup lady is maxed now at 650...and if I try to go over she tells me INSTANTLY she doesnt like it.
Yesterday evening I mixed a flush solution of 993µS/cm or 496ppmMaybe try flushing with a 600 PPM feed, then continue feeding her the 600 with lots of runoff? MC is rather "salty" and with that PPM you
are showing I bet there is a lockout or something....especially in a little solo cup with a very finicky strain![]()
And a BIG hug to you to for caring
You are correct again and I think there was a miscommunication on my side not making it clear I'm not using the ppm scale when I type µS/cm. This all can be a bit confusing isn't itP.S. All of the MC feed charts are for photoperiod. I do half of what is shown for autos.
