PK Perpetual Grow Journal 2020

@MrSauga i might of mistaken when pond said mrs in one of the posts. his typing isn't the easiest to follow. lol, tried helping pond water and with all the images and guids from everyone it just pushed the page up.

How was your sunday :high-five:

Your journal moves fast and I have no idea what this is referring to. I don't criticize anyone's grammar, posts, or questions.

That’s what I’m taking bout my brotha we all the same !!!!!!
 
Here is a video of the gg ph and ppm check. Water levels definitely dropped
 
:woohoo:
 
400 ppm and water was filled up yesterday to the level
I've take the hose away form the pibbles and the plant was adjusted so its further down. The bottom of the roots are touching some water and I am also up feeding couple times a day.

Any idea about the ph keep jumping every few hours. I shouldn't have to ph it multiple time daily.
For example when i use seaweed the ph stays at 6 for like two days lol!

i don't know all that but you feed coco when its needed and you don't let it dry out. If its takes two hours for it to be less moist then sure.

ya, cuz you got 335 ppm base water level and when you add mc it brings it raises the number.
Thats why the tds is showing a different number then the calculator.

The calculator is only giving you a reading that you need to reach, that's different than to feed.
However, you should try to read the plant. if you notice you are getting tip burns then mix more water then your mc mix.

if you read back few pages @The Phantom went throw it with me while i posted pictures.
We've explained the process of how i did it.
I'm a bit off on the exact numbers cuz the mixed mc water ppm reading doesn't really matter. The ppm that you feed the plant does matter. So you grab as much as you need from your mixed mc water mix it with just tap water based on the ppm you are trying to achieve.

with your hydro i'm not sure what type of rez you are using, but my dwc is 5 gallon and i am only holding 4gallon of water 3.78 Liter = 1 gallon
so i mixed 6grams of part A and 10 grams of part b in a separate bucket. Since my ppm is 20 i just throw away 25% of the water which was quarter of the bucket and just filled it with tap water which brought my ppm to 420ish:high-five:

You have to consider the ppm of your water and mix properly. if possible, I'd suggest using better water system.
what is your ph at with tap water?

Now that bro i understand fully
Thisbisbwhat i was trying to ask.
If adding eater effected the npk numbers.
I was worried adding more water was diluting my say n 122 to 87 or somthing.
Spoke to tinteastwood he sorted me out last night understood my fked up typing.
Now i ubderstand it helpes.

Whats messed me was as u said gln is a guide to get up to max.
Gln told me use the dose on the bag and increase it if needed. So they sound like its a minimum. Where as in fact its a maximum.
Dont think any of you actualy keep 4.2gp gal and feed that neat. It needs dosing down like the nite mix is a dilute stock solution you bring into range with water.

But i see thst 395ppm base would achieve that slower than ro due to added ppm rwch time.

Tap water is 7.3 test it at night 7.3 test in morning 7.1 evening 7.1 2 days on 7.1

Ph is stable in tap i dunno whetr u guys think its not.
I dont use ph up just add water.

My hydron is a rdwc no airstone max do system designed by me 9 years ago with bilky liar heath robinson sqydro greengiant and a few others 14 weeks 1 plant 28ounce lucas formula. I helped green get 21oz per plant documented and believe it or not wrote articles on dissolved oxygen and airstones sticky. My problem typing is that since then i have had bad autobimmune problems brokebmy back and suffered limb numbness from trapped nerves dissaligned my spine and compressed my disks til they poped.

Now i have numb arms and legs i csnt feel heat not even boiling water.
Im slowly getting better. But i am dislexic too my fingers almost stop moving when i type it gets fustrating.
Im on a mobile as the pc screen broke new 1 today. And the phone wont let me scroll up properly it buggs out.
Between it all i know i struggle my friends call me haha "typo" its my name has been years lol feel free to laff am a stoner u gota laff.
Jusy so ya know am not a complete idiot just mentally fogged blocked and challenged. Once i get the info past my irrattic system i slap myself for panic.

But yea i do panic if i fk my crop up its my meds. Pain relief and mental sanity.
Past weekbive been not able to get smoke my guy ended up in hospital with covid tests now i wait for him to get out n stop believeing lies lol.

Thanks though for stickin with me. I kow to match my ppms from the stock
I know npk is the same just smaller meal.
Im happy feeding now
I have been doin it while i waited
Sso new growth is fast and lush
It looks good
I promisr to calm down hahaha

Tha kyou for tsking time
 
@PK Was your bucket brand new? I ask because when the buckets are made they're using chemicals to mix the plastic upon melting in molding. your bucket still may be getting rid of some of them old chemical they used. did you set your bucket out in the Sun for A-day prior to using it? It's just curious to me that your PH keeps rising so quickly I've had an issue with plastics before in contaminating things I use the bucket for so that's why I'm asking.
 
Looks good PK I know I have said it already but those meter are really cheap so if your getting reading that are not what your expecting check the calibration. Then check your bucket if the numbers are still not what you expect put the meter back into the calibration solution and check it. I have had that use with those meters. You can feed by grams per gallon but I would recommend a good ph pen for hydro ph is critical in hydro. Have you used that ph down your using before? It might not be that stable. Hopefully the ph will start to stabilize for you.
 
@Pondwater glad it helped out. Don't worry about your english, it will only improve the more you are on this site and are typing :laughtwo:

no, i didn't leave them in the sun. We have blizzard rain here. However, i did wash it with bleach and 99% isopropyl alcohol

thanks Vex, on my last gorilla glue i had video updates that was being edited. I will start them back up when the new seeds arrive.

ok so, the ph meter is calibrated and it gives me the right readings. I've tested it with my ph solutions and i also have the storage solution. My tds meters are 500ppm and a 700ppm based on the info i've received.
I don't htink i am missing anything but i have a feeling something is not performing as well.
res temps are between low17c to max at 21c which then the fan kicks in.

I am thinking maybe its the defusser which is not creating enough air

Pictures of the pH down! Haha :lot-o-toke:
