I have to disagree with Not Needing a PPM Meter and Not Keeping track of your PPM's. I know many growers get away without them JUST FINE,, But I like to know how much I am pushing my girls (or if I am not pushing them enough), and know that I am not going to burn them up with my next feed, as well, when I hit that SWEET SPOT, I would like to have a number to put behind that face. To me, not knowing how many PPM's I am feeding, is kinda playing the guessing game, but to each his own. In my opinion, if you want to do it right, learn what PPM's are, and how it works. I think this will certainly give you more knowledge of your grow and better certainty when you take your next step.Killahz dead on with No ppm meter required following the hempy method and lucas formula, though as stated proper pH is a must to getting the results you want. Finding that sweet spot is very strain dependant as some like it lower in nute strength and some like it hot as hell.
Also,, Just an FYI INDOOR SUN KING -- I mix my nutes the Following Late Afternoon, check my PPM's, PH to 5.8-6.1, then set it in the dark (in the grow room so its the same temp),,, Then I feed the Following Morning.. Seems to work just fine.
Good Luck with Your First Hempy's SUN KING!!
