      wait for one more set of leaves to come in before I flip to Veg lighting? Vivosun AW100, day 14 under seedling spectrum. put 3 gal of res water in with cal mag and recharge yesterday. so that should have started to trickle into the lines and the real bucket over the last 16 hours.

      • Recharge sould be used once a week in a top watering. The microbes cannot live in water for too long.

        • @RF440 this is good to know. I had to emergency pull the water in the system because the pH was too high. I had it at 6.9-7 but it’s all new equipment and it drifted over 7.2 pH. so I cupped out as much as I could and got the nutrient water to start dripping in ASAP. but from now on ill know better. in a few days I’ll do the same and cup out what I can and put just calmag and good pH water in. if I didn’t have bad pH I probably would have just don’t normal top off again, just pH water.

          • @sunny will do, just got nervous that I had no change in like 2 days. I felt like something was wrong and I was sort of right. ph got too high. read above if you’d like, but I’ll keep everything as is and just let the current res empty out again. it had an immediate difference once the ph was handled, back to 5.9-6.1

            • @silentbill good job! You kept your head on straight and you didn’t get all wrapped up in a deficiency rabbit hole. Stuck to the basics.
