I'm 4 weeks into a grow of 2 plants.i've a 400w MH above,with 2 CFbulbs for side lighting.a fan is gently blowing the plants to strengthen the stems..Apart from a bit of nute burn early on(Miracle Grow):cry: the 2 plants are going very well.Both are approx 5 inches high or so and looking very healthy.I've them on 24hr... Now the question..
I've started feeding with Iguana juice with 5ml per lite of water, and have been lent an EC meter by a friend.What type of reading should I be looking out for when I test my water/nutrient mix?..On the instructions,it gives a list of Vegetables with their ideal readings,but I ain't growin' tomatoes guv! :blsmoke:My soil PH is usually around 5-6 ..Thanx in advance for the replies.

O.K. as an edit..I've tested my plain water and get a reading of 0.2
.............................. nute solution and get a reading of 0.8

They are growing in a soilless medium of peat and vermiculite.
How do these figures compare for growing WW?
any thoughts mucho appreciated.:peace:
