So separate timer?
I guess I was wondering how you set the one timer to do two different schedules.
You said you schedule your pump a few min before your feed.

Yes sorry
My timer has ability to set two different schedules
Timer 1 program In plug 1
Timer 2 program in plug 2
Or
There is a option that sets timer 1 and 2 together
Yes that is one of the reason I got this timer is because I can water in Seconds I just wish it could connect to wifi.

how’s the pH been?
At this point it is super beneficial to know what your Leach PH and EC is I understand you don’t have the tools at this moment but would be very helpful to diagnose if there’s a balance off.
I think at this point I would flush your plant with pH balanced water say around 6.0 and start over. Do you know how to do this? If not I can explain how I would do it.
You could be suffering from nute lockout if your nutes are to high. (Salt build up) / ph maybe off. But I still stand behind what I said before I do also believe you need to add Cal Mag into your mix after flush.

@Mpower11 is right your locked out of mag or cal … seems like your feeding aren’t at the right ppm nor ph … in hydroponics you really need to know that stuff… unlike soil that has everything and don’t have to worry ppm , coco is blank and relies on you to give the right amounts … order a ppm/ec meter and ph pen from amazon… you don’t need the expensive kind … I have the 14 dollar ones and you see what I produce

So do I need to chuck these or can they be fixed?
No you don’t need to chuck them just flush and lower ec and fix ph

Ok I think I have it working now, it finally calibrated.
This is all I could get from the leach water, kept reading 0r.

Numbers didn’t look bad but To be safe I would still flush with ph balance water. Mix fresh nutes with cal mag. And it will recover

Flush with R/0 water not your tap water. Is that well water?

Lol! Not well water just tap!
So do I just use a bucket of ph water or are you suggesting that I trash the 20 gallons in my reservoir?
You can just adjust what’s in your res

This is going to take awhile to get used to I see.
Not liking tent life, really wishi had of just bought a second grobo.
If it weren’t for @chris_barfield, & @Mpower11 I think I would have given up already.
So with my res numbers what should I be adjusting with a 6.1 ph & 1.3 ec.

Your overthinking it … next reservoir just mix v1 and v2 to an ec of 1.6 and ph to 5.5-6.0 and they will bounce back … everything is trial and error this happens to everyone

Yeah ive not changed anything yet because I just feel overwelhmed, but I’m taking evrything you guys tell me into consideration.
I do like things a lot simpler.
It will be a long time before I need to change the water and my new growth doesn’t look too bad.
Really been trying to figure out if these flora flex nutes can hold out by themselves or I need to add cal mag.
I figure if I keep listening to you guys and tweaking things one day I will get to a simpler solution if I don’t kill the plants first.
Just to be clear I mix the nutes to a 1.6 if its off how do I adjust this?
Also you said ph to 5.5 - 6.0 after I ec to 1.6, do I use up/down or the nutes to do that?

You use ph up or down till it’s within range and honestly your better off just mixing a new batch trying to fix what you have is gunna be too difficult …
Honestly just don’t think so hard about it … your caring too much just mix a new batch … to make it’s easier overly dilute your water then if ec is too high … just dilute with water till you get it to target… do that until you get a feel for how much you need and then it will be like a routine
