    Trying to figure out PPM movement

    Well I got the Bluelabs meters and if they come calibrated out of the box my cheapo PH meter is high by .7 and my PPM meter is low by 100. This means I've been setting my PH at around 5.1 every day. Hence all my issues. A cautionary tale my friends. I'm hydrating the PH meter in the KCL...

    Trying to figure out PPM movement

    Any suggestions for a good ph/ppm meter? Willing to spend money on something good. I feel like I'm getting gaslighted by the meters I have 😆 https://www.amazon.com/Bluelab-PENGTB-Growers-Toolbox/dp/B00H90O26C

    Trying to figure out PPM movement

    There's 3 gallons in each bucket. The PPM meter is only a few weeks old. It was like $10. The PH meter cost about the same. Its a couple months old but I just calibrated it a couple days ago. I think I need to pony up some money for a couple good meters. Either the PPM meter is broken like...

    Trying to figure out PPM movement

    The RO is a couple years old. I think I changed the filters about 9 months ago. The company is supposed to be sending someone to take a look at the system. I have bypassed the water softener for now and using the water from fridge filter since it measures the lowest ppm at 88. Here's some...

    Trying to figure out PPM movement

    I only started charting PPM and PH a couple days ago but his is what I have so far. I check when I wake up in the morning around 7 AM and when I get home around 6 PM.

    Trying to figure out PPM movement

    Well I have a rainsoft water softener and RO system. I've been using the water out of the RO but noticed that the PPM out of the RO is 120 which didn't seem right to me. I bypassed my water softener and checked the water out of the tap and it is 88 so I think there may be something wrong with...

    Trying to figure out PPM movement

    I've been struggling with a couple of plants. 1 is almost 2 months old and another is almost 1 month old. I'm trying to figure out how much to feed them but every time I raise the PPM level I start to see issues. I read that if the PPM level goes up overnight it means I'm feeding too much and...

    2 weeks old & already seeing issues

    It still seems to be getting worse. I don't think I trust this Advanced Nutrients PH Perfect. When I first put the nutrients in the PH only went down to 6.4 and now 4 days later its at 7.5. The PPM has risen by 10 from 425 to 435 so I assume that means its drinking water but not taking in the...

    2 weeks old & already seeing issues

    I use a Maxisun PB1000 and I have single small fans at 3 levels in my tent. This is an autoflower so I don't think I can go up to 400 PPM yet

    PH is about 7.5 but as long as the pH stays between 4.0 - 8.0 the nutrients are being taken up just as well as at 5.6 according to AN.

    First time grower this looks bad

    Thanks for all the tips. I'll try the pre-mixed solution. Do you clean out your reservoir? weekly? or bi-weekly?

    First time grower this looks bad

    I got a tds/ec meter. Water out of my RO is ppm 120 so I'm guessing I need to replace the filters. I flushed for a few days and backed off the nutes. Ppm is now at 320 after adding 5 ml calmag, 2.4 ml macro, gro, and bloom to 3 gallons. I also ph'd water to 5.8 before adding nutes this time as...
