First post to IC, I'm going solo now and have a lot of questions. My son with a horticulture degree showed me the ropes but now he is gone on the high seas. Not happy with last crop. Want max yield (don't we all).
Short equipment and process summary: 20 5gal bucket dwc, 4000 watts, 10 gal control box only (no res), modified Lucas using GH, using tap h2O untreated at 6.6 ph, 220 ppms, CO2, two week veg. One strain but expanding.
Meter: need to find a new redundant meter, not happy with amount of time nor the drift and question accuracy. Presently using an older Hanna Grocheck. Cal and clean often. What is the best bang for the buck? Who offers the best pricing on net?
Root rot Enzyme: Using hygrozyme, have read some conflicts. Is the enzyme (from barley) no longer valid or did the manufacturer have some bad product? Bleach???
Lollipop Trim: (off topic of water) In what phase of the grow do you recommend, any tutorals?
Phosphorus: Amending water with this is generally done? How much and when? Do you meter this?
Formula for PH, Using GH ph down, what is the ml/gal needed to lower the ph one point? PH reading is, I thought, non linear, so is this a valid formula to assume?
More later and thanks for you consideration.
