Sounds pretty similar to the “kratky” method. I’ve seen interesting results with cannabis, but at the same time it’s pretty hard to go the whole grow without adding water or atleast changing it at flip.
I think it’s semi transpiration, my VPD isn’t totally dialed in, but definitely could be evaporation, especially before the canopy fills out, but the lung room stays pretty cold, the wife likes the house at 19c… so combination of it taking water up to transpirate, and if I have PH issues yeah, there could be some lockout and they would both exacerbate other issues and each other.
My last grow at flip.
In a round about way, I do kinda, I check the ph and ec every morning and adjust as needed. So even if I feed it heavy, a day or two later it’s gonna be dropped back under 2.0. It basically cycles and this helps vary the ph as well to get uptake across 6-7ph.
The conversation is appreciated, and I like your attitude. Yeah there’s a million ways to grow, and there’s not one “right” way, just because hydro works for you, doesn’t mean I may be able to do it the same. People need to find what works for them, not try to do what people peddle as the best.
I used to be in soil until last year, so this is my 4th grow with the aero and light. First was dialing system in, second was trying figure out flip time, third is turning out fantastic and being chopped this weekend.
I’m also gonna be going through some growing pains here, switching nutrient lines, so gonna have to figure out the nuances of that line. Gonna be mixing it 50:50 with the old line till I run out of the base nutrients.
