OK so now I'm well below in ppm's but why do I still have such a high ec reading resinhound said 0.5 ec but if I'm already below par on ppm how can ec be still so far out ?????
Ppm going nuts

Resinhound means 0.5 mS/cm, but I think you are measuring in uS/cm.
1 mS/cm = 1000 uS/cm

OK got it. Still not sure why I had a ppm reading of 320 before watering and 1,900 on the run off this seems very strange and worried about mixing my next batch!!
And I was told to minus the water off the ppm is this information right?

if you have good soil you don't need to add nutes for 3 to 4weeks theres already enough food in soil. Never go by what the bottle calls for.. Always start at1/4 strength and work your way up.. Your plant is small and half of what the bottle calls for might be overkill

Even 1/8! I always start with 10-15%.

There won't be that much food to last a month will it? I flushed the crap out of it right down to 150 ppm.

Probably not but I would work on the ph problem first

Normal feed schedule is once
I have pH up and down so that's not much of a problem just uk420 told me not to use it.. In fact everyone on that site said the same thing !

The question I had would be good to answer as it will give me less confusion next time, tried searching Google but found nothing on the run off measurements and why my ppm skyrocketed !! And is both ppm & pH important to check (runoff wise)

OK so I ordered some syringes so I can be more presise. The bottle require me to add half a teaspoon on one nute and a whole tablespoon of the other so I knocked off 90% and will feed 0.58ml of one and 1.75ml of the other hope this will give me a better result !

Stop fucking with them and let the little fuckers grow. IMHO you're making this way too difficult. I don't check runoff EVER! You'll never stop chasing your tail by checking run off.

Well goes to show some want bigger buds than others if you don't care that's fine no sleepless nights here but don't encourage other people to adopt your laid back attitude ....

And Gary if I never checked the run off I never would have known my ppm was in the thousands, (food for thought) !!

It's not "laid back" it's knowing what to do and what NOT to do. Checking runoff is on the things not to do list.

Update sinse my last disaster lol... After my last fuck up I did has a slight discolouration on one of the leafs which has virtually cleared up now, so I'm putting that down to mild nute burn as I straight after flushed her knickers off. A few things I done different this time i went by (US liquid gallon) not UK, bought syringes for more accurate reading and left to stand after tampering with ppm and pH. My run off was perfect this time ppm of between 250 -300 and a pH reading of 6.7 I believe this is the ball park range an hope I just hit a home run
