My feed chart PH and EC

[BIGCHEESE0161]

Hey guys I am using growth technology ipnic coco bloom with canna boost canna calmag advance nutrients big bud atm, my ph is 6.0 which is ideal but I noticed my EC is only 1.3…. I am using max dose everything listed in week 2 in flower… should I worry about the ec being so low or is that an okay ec for flower? I will be adding advance nutrients overdrive last few weeks of flower to finish off, should I up the ionic coco bloom to up the ec to atleast 1.5-1.6 would that be a better option for yeild? Thanks

If the plant looks healthy and are not showing signs of deficiencies, there's no compelling reason to raise the EC.
Higher EC does not equate to higher yields.
Many here never exceed 1.3EC and grow healthy, productive plants.

Thanks for the reply mate they look nice and healthy I’ll keep it how it is

Like your question.
ive had a bad few grows and gave up but now back into it.
growing in coco migro led 600w ph is always 5.8 but can anyone help me with EC values please for veg and flower?

Start with .5 and increase up to 1.7 max

Thanks man. Been looking online on Google and like everything else it’s all very conflicting.

Ph doesn't have to be a fixed value. Fluctuation are normal. Optimal pH range is 5.2-6.2

On this canna feeding chart do I go with the EC+ or EC total column?

sorry for the dumb question.

Depends if next few days it drops she needs more or if in next few days raises she has too much

Ec. Ec+ mean ec+water ec so... if your tap water ec is .2 and you want to feed .5 you will have to add ec+.2 so ec+ = .7

Fucking science man. Many thanks

E.C. of 1.3 is not low, if the plants look healthy. Most of us that have been at it for decades never go higher than that, only exception is first few fertigations in new coco.

sure they will do fine even with 1ec but you will lose almost quarter if not half the weight depending on your base nutrient formulation.

it all depend on your grow condition, if you lack of light, your vpd is not tuned and you dont have supplemental co2 you will probly stay below 1.5, closer to 1.3

So keeping at 1.3 throughout the whole grow is a good scope.
I also have a bluelab EC pen so reading will be bang on !!

The plant should be your feed chart, if they look green and healthy keep doing what your doing, if they start fading or looking yellow increase, if they look too dark green or have burn reduce feed, really simple doing it that way vs scratching your head and reading feed charts.

Strange thing this morning. Made up 20 litres of feed. Water had sat 24 hours to declorinate. Checked EC with billable truncheon and it was up at 1.8 so had to dilute with roughly 9 litres water. Brought it down to 1.4 and a PH of 5.9
Thing is I don’t understand why it would be that high an EC as I followed the canna coco feeding chart.

Tap water EC + Nute EC = Total EC

?

Damn, so all these years I could have doubled my yields by simply doubling my EC?
Food for thought
What if I tripled my EC?

I just bumped my seedlings up to 4. gonna be huge by tomorrow. lol
