Ok so tell me if this is normal but I have some stretch and I am on a 24 hour light cycle.
Also I am trying to understand my ec. I started at 1.6 and now I am at 1.8 and I haven't added anything but ph down. Is that what is raising the ec. Over a couple of days.
? Now when I add water back to I also mix nutrients with that add back water.
Your EC is rising because the plants are drinking more water than nutrients. 1.5 EC is way too hot for young plants. Hell I burn my plants in flower if I go above 1.2.
You should be as about .5 to .75 EC at this stage. You know you're feeding correctly when EC stays constant as water level drops. If EC rises lower feeding if it drops then plants are eating more and you can raise EC slowly.
