Should I go over 1600ppm ?

I'm at around day 38 in flower and have had the ppm at 1600 for around two weeks, should I try more? Will it help my yeild out at this point of just be a waste of nutes? Check my journal in my sig pictured at day 35.


thanks

Try not to tip over 1800, even though stinkbud once said he had a blueberry that enjoyed 2000ppm. But its still a little high, you will be able to tell if she is not getting enough food, she will slow down on performance. Hell my girls slow down if it gets a little to cold.

Here's a chart I found yesterday while looking for something else.
week 1: 1000
" " 2: 1200
" " 3: 1400
" " 4: 1600
" " 5: 1600
" " 6: 1400
" " 7: 1000
" " 8: 300
" " 9: 0
.
That was for a 9 week strain, so I guess you can adjust from there.

People......it's all strain specific. Indica's can normally withstand a higher ppm than sativa's. But, some strains thrive on more and others like it less. That's why it usually takes a grow or two to dial in a strain to perfection. What's the strain, that may help......

Yah you can go over 1600ppm, way over into the 2000ppm. But you have to slowly harden them off for nutrients. I grew some plant they were peaking out at 2400ppm. If you have everything dialed in you can get some amazing growth. Very true different strains respond differently, but you can usually train them to take the XX-Large ppm solution.

That's true about strains, but last season my Sativa next to the Indica was a nute hog.

Is it worth it this far into flowering? I'm coming up on 6 weeks.
