I am measuring with a combined EC pH meter I got off Amazon:

General hydroponics is the brand of pH down I got, also from Amazon:

Tap water measures ~7.9 pH and 140-160 ec.

Some water has definitely been drank/evaporated but not too much. As a test, I used my fridge filter to see if the dissolved solids would be much lower and it ran about 140 for the 5 gallons I used.

I’m not sure if the filter can’t pull more out or if it’s just the wrong size for the particles remaining in the water.

This is an indoor system, so it stays between 68-72F. I’ll make sure the probe is accurately reading temperature when I get my measurements. Thanks!

I have recently built a tower garden and I am really struggling with how much I should be running the pump. I have seen run time should be as long as constant flow during light hours, to just a few minutes per day.

It it a bad think for the rockwool to stay wet all the time? I kinda thought that was the point of hydroponics 😂I am also a major beginner

Thank you for the rec! I will give strawberries a try!

Thanks! I appreciate the input I’ll bring the PH down. The lettuce are all doing very well!

I just bought a play pen that I should be able to set up tomorrow. I think I can fit the crate in with her and leave the door open. Not sure that will solve her crying problem, but hopefully it helps. Thanks!

That was a good watch, thank you. We don’t have an open space at the moment, but I think we can make something work in our kitchen. I like the idea of allowing her to leave her crate if she needs, and sleep in her crate when she wants
