Looks like you are doing pretty good. The EC/ppm that you'll want varies on things such as plant size/age, nutrient line, strain, lighting intensity, temperatures, type of hydroponics system, etc., so there's really no catch-all "this is a good ppm" for every plant in every situation. But by measuring the EC/ppm, you will have a precise metric to go by for tailoring your own future grows with your specific setup so you can dial things in for improvements. Measuring the EC/ppm will also let you know how much the plants are drinking vs. uptaking nutrients at any given point.HOW MANY PPM SHOULD IT BE? IS IT DIFFERENT IN DIFFERENT STAGES?
I've got both meters, ppm and ph. I added all the nutes from General Hydroponics Flora Grow system.
I keep adding ph down till it gets to 5.5 - 6.0, I've got that part down.
Then I keep adding water till the ppm gets to 900.
My AF plants are in week 9, full on budding.
Is 900 ppm too much?
What should it be?
So far they are doing great, just wondering if it could do better.View attachment 3009511View attachment 3009512
View attachment 3011086this what my plants look like a week ago.Yes putting in water is obviously going to lower your tds raise your ph. I'd like to se some ppictures of yours since I feel sure I've never grown a plant that could take 2000 tds. Over even. Good luck and happy growing
I am wrong and I guess my eyes need to be checked...lol....my PPM is at around 700 - 800 between tables...sorry for that.hello I am at like 2000 ppm and higher cause my meter only goes up to 2000. I just read this thread I have a question...if I put in my nutes and ph down, won't everything change if you add water to thin solution to bring ppm down? My plants are growing like they are in containers 4 time the size they are really in. This is my first time growing with terraponics and it is going well so far. I have 15 skywalker and 5 lsd and 4 mr.nice 3 whitewidows 12/12 from seed and 1 blue magoo. thx
700-800 is perfect. With 2000 I would expect to see dead plants.I am wrong and I guess my eyes need to be checked...lol....my PPM is at around 700 - 800 between tables...sorry for that.
