how do you cut nitrogen? I am using the general hydroponics ferts and got probably 8 different bottles.

Nitrogen is the first number.... so I only use ferts that have 0 as the first number? or just use less of the ones with a high nitrogen number?

Ok can you post the bottles you have? I have never used those nutes but shouldn't be hard to figure out

If you are following that chart then you are cutting the niteogen about the right time. Mix at those measurements then dilute the mixture to get the ppm you desire. Imo no more than 700 ppm and I would suggest about 600.

what the ppm you are running currently? I would say based on the plant its just a bit high. So by lowering the overall ppm but keeping the same ratios you will be achieving what you desire. The ratios are important so don't just cut back on one bottle to bring the ppm down.

I believe the water is 40ppm and after all my nutes im at 780ppm. this is soil BTW.

never checked PH once in my life.

Yeah i would drop that down to 600 just by dilution. The plants look absolutely gorgeous just a touch high on nutrients but not by any means terribly
