I checked her pH (thanks to @dbrn32 for the reminder) and it was 6.5, just a bit high for coco. I added 1 qt with calmag and hydroguard, pH 5.5 and ppm 1150. Checked again after: pH 6.0 and ppm 1170. She seems to be consuming all nutes she’s being fed because she got a pretty heavy feeding a couple days ago and there was a bit of water left in her little res but almost no nutes. She’s going through about a qt per day
The other bucket contains a photo (won’t do that again) and she drinks hers up before the pH has a chance to drop. I don’t know why but that made me think I didn’t need to monitor the pH for this auto who isn’t drinking nearly as fast.
I agree. I’ve tried hydro and prefer coco. I’ve also taken it a step further in combining them with the SIP (self irrigating planter) method by making an octopot type unit (several actually)
Is it a clone from one of your plants? If so then it’ll act like the mother. If the mother didn’t stretch much in flower let her go a little longer. If she stretched a bunch i’d flip now.
