So me and my brother are first time growers. We really liked the hydro option and decided to go with that knowing it would be harder to start with. Having said that we killed our first set of plants. The advice we was getting was scattered and often contradicted by someone else and seemed like some of the advice was more soil related.
So we run off well water and our ppm has been between 35-70ppm, Sal .06ppt, and ph 5.3-5.5(we balance it to 5.8 ). When would we want to start adding nutrients to our water to bring the ppm level up and what ppm should we be shooting for.
Our plants started yellowing from the new growth from the base to the tip on day 6 from sprout (auto flower). We thought this would be an immobile nutrient deficiency and got some cal mag to add. We asked for advice on Reddit and was told by one poster to shoot for 350ppm and another poster said 200. We thought 350 would be to high and instead did 200ppm with hrdroguard/cal-mag/general hydroponics flora series and this seemed to cook our plants. We diluted the water to 175 then 150 and eventually made a new rez at 125. But the plants have been stunted since and we are just going with a new batch. First pic is day 6 from sprout 2nd is day 25 from sprout.
