What should I be getting the runoff ppm down to in Happy Frog soil?
I have a 2 cu ft bag split in 7 pots mixed with perlite.
I use the trio at less than a quarter strength in bloom.
My flush water is 100 ppm(TDS) spring water.
I watered with 5 gallons and read almost 1000.
Put three more in and read over 1100.
Next watering I ran 7 gallons through and still reading about 900.
That is two thorough waterings with plain water with over 50% runoff.
Also they are still really green.
Any opinions?
I have to drive to get spring water so I try to use as little as possible at a time.

The picture is at 6 weeks. They have not yellowed at all. It's my last batch of bagseed I seeded out :) I have OG started next.

I use ffhf for most all my plants. The only thing I do, is one week before harvest flush with 2 maybe 3 times the amount of water per gallon of soil with 7.7 -8 pH tap water my runoff is always between 6.3 -6.6ph. I let soil completely dry for final week then chop, dry, cure. My smoke is always smooth as fuk:bigjoint: All that ppm and stuff is unnecessary in a good soil. All that thinking would just make my head hurt:eyesmoke::peace:

Yeah you are right. Most of my plants tasted ok last time but a couple had a sort of metallic taste and I thought it may have been the flush. I only flushed once, a week before last time. But it could just be the bag seed. I also think I was over fertilizing last grow. I was just wondering. Thanks.

Very true. I have flushed and then not on a few of the same strain. It always ends up about the same after a week in the jar good n proper. But me I like to give my lil beni's in the soil one last drink of mollasses for the final meal:eyesmoke:
