Question about PPM levels

[Sam1510]

So im about to hit week 5 in veg and this is my first grow using a ppm meter. I had a couple questions. What's a good ppm chart I should use for my plants that are in soil? Should I read the EC, 0.5 conv ppm, or 0.7ppm conv? From what I've read online it should something like. Im just confused about which one to read?

Veg week 1 - 200-300ppm
Veg week 2 - 400-500pm
Veg week 3 - 700-800ppm
Veg week 4 900-1100ppm
Flower week 1 - 1000ppm
Flower week 2 - 1200ppm
Flower week 3 - 1400ppm
Flower week 4 - 1600ppm
Flower week 5 - 1600ppm
Flower week 6 - 1200ppm
Flower week 7 - 1000ppm
Flower week 8 and 9 FLUSH - 0-300ppm
Any help would be highly appreciated

PPM's or EC can be different for each strain. You have to learn to read your plants and adjust accordingly. Some strains can thrive with high ppms and others will burn and stunt or completely lockout other nutrients.

First you have to explain what youre growing in. Feeding a hydro plant is different than feeding in organic potting soil. And all types of hydro take different amounts of feed.

He said in soil.

Really need to find it out for yourself.
Go off what your nutes recommend on low dosage. Then slowly take it up until what there high dosage recommends or stop and go back slightly if you see burn before that.
Or you can grow the min amount way. Stick to low dosage and only up when you see they want more. Which is what I do so a whole bottle lasts with my 8 week flowering strain using 1 week flush. Im in DWC and change res twice weekly tho so changes are easy compared to soil.

yeah thats not a question with an easy answer, depends on the plant, the conditions in the room, the medium. the best thing to do is to learn to read your plants and give them what they want, not rely on a preset schedule that can't possibly be right all the time
