hi people can any one tell me.

Do i keep putting nuts in every other day in my amazon...

ive just transfered 16 babies at to weeks old into my twin amazon

in res ive put
a+b Vitalink Grow
Nitrozyme
FORMULEX

and got a ec 1.0 but after two days it went down to 6 so i put more nuts in... is this right or very bad!!

i will be change res every week so should i nuts once every res or evry time the ec drops........... thanks people!

if the ec level is dropping aswell as the water level then yes add more water and add more nutes but what should be happening is your water level should drop and your ec should be the same from first addin it

i.e you first fill the tank 50litres you make the ec to 1.0 3 days later you only have 25liters of water left you should still have 1.0 this means the plants are using the nutes correctly aswell as takin on water

if your water level is droppin and so is the ec then it means your plants are hungry for more nutes

hope this helps

yes if the water level drops and the ec has changed and dropped lower yes i would raise the ec a little at a time to get it bang on once its stopp going up or down thats the sweet spot
