Comments (10)I haven't read the original post yet, but just wanted to say that precipitates can most certainly be caused by pH. However from the reply's I have read, you try to keep the pH lower than normal, and precipitates are generally caused by pH that is too high (above 7) or bad nutrient mixing/concentration practices. I'm not sure exactly but I think it can be caused by extremely low pH as well, like below 4.5 or so. Water quality is always a concern in hydroponics. Again I haven't really read the original post, but here are a few articles that may help you figure things out: Hydroponic H2O: Water Quality and Treatment Water Wisdom For Hydroponics Keeping Roots in Tip-Top Condition Oxygenate,Respirate or Suffocate Moisture Matters Nutrition Solution Problems Nutrient Solution Problems (Part Two) Sorry for the long list, I know it it's a lot of reading to do, but hopefully some or all of it will shed some light on your issue, or at least point you into the right direction. Even if not, it's all good information everyone should know. I'll try to read the original post soon. Also nutrient nutrient lockout (not precipitates) can be CAUSED by "precipitates" because they bind up the nutrients as grizz mentions. But it can also be caused by an unbalanced nutrient solution. Knowing the EC/PPM/TDS wont be able to tell you if the nutrient solution is balanced (and thus why I'm not concerned with EC/PPM/TDS readings like most people are). They readings only tell you the relative strength, you still need to know the concentrations of each mineral salt to be able to make determinations of deficiencies and/or toxicities. That's only done by lab testing, or guessing (based on symptoms). Nutrient lockout can be caused by deficiencies and toxicities, as well as precipitates (because precipitates cause nutrient deficiencies). Precipitates are caused by bad nutrient mixing practices, high (passably low) pH, and/or poor water quality (bonding/binding with excess minerals in the water supply). Like grizz also mentions, adding water to the solution wont redissolve precipitates, they'll remain bonded (thus unusable to the plants)....See MoreAre you quilting this weekend? Nov. 21-23
Comments (19)Lois, I so understand...I have the same situation to some extent. I have a decent size room which contains my sewing table. My sewing table is a flat door from lowes, sitting on top of two saw horses...it's perfect for me, kinda divided into 3 sections, cutting, sewing and ironing. Then there's the desk where I have my laptop that normally is covered with quilting "stuff", then I have an old sofa, bookcase and a large closet with lots of shelving for the "the stash" . Periodically the room gets organized and cleaned and it works great! It's when I failed to put stuff in its place that I'm ready to discard the sofa, but my friends convinced me it's an important part of my space, (naps, chill time, girl chat) so it stays. Having shelving in your closet will be your salvation...Without that, I'd never be able to find anything! Have fun putting your room together...it will be your escape pod...sanctuary...or whatever you wish to call it! V....See MoreQuotes 1 - 15- 16
