For those new to LED and coco (maybe other mediums too not sure??) I have been told by a few folks that they are running very high ec levels (2.5-3.0ec) under Led's and using coco. I have not found much info about why and how they are doing this. I've also read that it is very important to keep the temps at (77-85F) under LED to help the plants uptake keep up with metabolism.
I started increasing both veg and bloom a bit now up to 1.5ec for veg and 2.3ec bloom(4 weeks in). I will report back if I notice any burning but not seeing any deficiencies so I am not sure if this is mainly for yeild and surely it pertains to BLD varieties as I dont think there is any way a NLD would take such high concentrations of nutrients.
I had been feeding 1.2ec and did notice a bit of light green growth until I added a tiny bit of Magnesium Sulfate to the solution. Other than that no burnt tips and just healthy green growth since. Gradually bringing the ec in bloom up a bit at a time.
What ec are you starting out at for both veg and bloom? What are you maxing out at?
If anyone has any related info please add to the thread. Thanks LT
