I need a waterfarm grow coach.

It's full strength using the KISS method - 7 grams per gallon of tap water. Pro-Tekt is a silica additive. I've been using it for years with great results.

My tap water is 320ppm.
If using full strength at 7grms with my tap water.
Would the ppm be alittle too high?
Or would i use say 6 grams instead?
Would it be better if i used RO water with the 7grams of maxibloom?

I'm using GH MaxiBloom at 7 grams per gallon, and 1/4 tsp Dyna-Gro Pro-TeKt per gallon from start too finish.

i wouldn't start at 7g/gal.

and i'm at high elevation so what is perfect for some is way too strong for me.

i usually don't go above 1.2 EC which is about 4gr/gal in RO.

like i said earlier, it's easier to start feeding light and add more vs burning the tips and then trying to fix that.

So could i start at 4gms start too finish?
Or just keep it simple start at 1gm then go up to 2gm then up to 3gms?

you've got to see how the plant reacts and feed accordingly. there really isn't a cut and dry answer.

use your ppm/EC meter to "read" the plants and how they are feeding

For me 7 grams is 1 tsp using my kitchen tsp. The green tsp included in the MaxiBloom only holds 5 grams. I start at 1/4 tsp and increase as necessary. You can use r/o water with MaxiBloom but you might need to supplement with calmag. I have no idea what the ppm is because I don't own a meter. I just watch my plants.

So if my plant starts too go light green on the leafs.
I should go up another 1/4?
If the leafs get burnt tips.
I should back off a 1/4?

Sorry for all the questions.
I have grown in soil.
I have grown autos in coco.
This is my 1st waterfarm grow.

Ok everyone.
I am about to plant me seedling into the waterfarm.
I have a strawberry cake from heavyweight seeds.
She is almost 1 week old.
