![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | a wet towel in front of a fan will do a lot more than a bowl of water, but if you do that make sure to replace and wash the towel often so it doesn't get musty or worse ![]() i would test the runoff water's pH to see if its close to 6.5 what concentration/dose are you mixing your nutrients with water? | ||

![]() | yes they were completely dry today and I pulled them out and they had very nice root growth. The bottle recommends 2-3 tsp grow and 1 tbl trinity for every gallon. I put about 1/4 tsp grow to a half gallon a few and 1/2 tsp trinity to half a gallon ps Thanks for helping ![]() | ||

![]() | ![]() This is what I use to test the water from general hydroponics. Is this a good one? and can the ph up and ph down go bad after sitting on the shelf a while? and do I need to buy a tester for checking the soil ph? | ||
