Hey.
My advanced nutrients have arrived and Iam mixing up a batch for my two plants. I followed the instructions and added less of recommended just to ease them into it.
I have mixed jungle juice micro & grow I also added cal mag b52 and voodoo juice and noticed my ppm was through the roof!

Iam I supposed to feed the plants seperate nutes on different days?

Either way I dilluted it 3 times and it still was on 2500ppm.

Should I feed (base nutrients) one day
Then water when it's dry, few days later
feed (voodojuice, cal mag &b52)?

Sorry if this is really obviously it's my first time feeding nutes

Im not sure about that particular brand of nutrients friend, but did your stuff come with a catalog? Usually nutes will come with a small booklet that shows the mixing schedule for hydro or soil or whatever your method is. For example, I use Fox Farms Grow Big, Big Bloom, and Tiger Blood for my plant. It has a booklet that shows hydro and soil mix amounts. My soil mix is measured in teaspoons/gallon of water.

Yours may be different, so be sure to follow it to a T! Also, you're smart in starting off below the full dose - I usually start off at a quarter/half strength, then move up from there if my plant shows no sign of stress.

And remember! You water with your nutrient mix, then water the next time, then back to nutes, ect... At least thats what I have read and have done, and so far its working fine.

On a final note, I never really look at PPM growing in soil. I probably should, but I just never do. I tried to be exact when I started and I ended up my murdering my girls with too much love xD so sorry I cant help with that portion of your question!

The instructions are on the back of each bottle, I thought I would get a booklet to.
I just thought I could add the nutrients all together but after seeing the ppm it's got me thinking.
I really appreciate your advice and I think I will probably do then separate for now untill I figure it out.

Just hope I haven't caused any damage to them.
