PPM is the guesstimation of EC
some people use EC because they know better or thas their preference.... and others use PPM cuz thas the meter their 'mentor' used or they see everybody else using it.
here is a good article on the subject:

Hey deacon, It's already been mentioned but..... that calmag is definately necessary with RO water. I personally would not run those little plants at 1200 ppm, more like 500-600 or like 0.8 EC. Good luck Bro.
you would never follow a chart because we use too many strains to go by one as you put it.... yet you have a set PPM number for nutrients regardless of nutrient brand?
see the irony here?
if not...while mostly all base nutes accomplish the same goal, are you saying that all nutrients are created equally? more concentrated VS less concentrated? etc etc
(also, not trying to argue or nitpick.... asking serious question)
I added some MagiCal today @ 5 ml per gallon. Hopefully i see a difference in a day or so. This will be a tricky grow since there are 4 different strains in the system right now leading to 4 different personalities and appetites. But, those were the only clones I could get when I needed them. After the MagiCal, TDS went up and leveled off at about 1300, which is still high. However, Brad @ Humboldt Wholesale who is the importer for H&G confirmed that level is somewhat normal and that the Aqua Flakes "normal" chart doesn't, in his opinion, run on the hot side. He also confirmed that using air stones with Roots Excelerator will not hinder the beneficial's performance, only shorten their life span. With regular rez changes this should never be a problem.
I think I might flush on Sunday and then keep the TDS down in the 700 level. I heard that roughly 1 ml per gallon of A+B will equate to about 100 PPM's?
Heres to hoping MagiCal is really magical! :icon_spin:
FYI my brother, remember the UC should be run at 1/2 manufacturers recommended dosage
He didnt say they were all the same, at all. he said he really never goes past 1200ppm. Pretty simple.

LMAO!
why thank you!!!! Jalisco Kid.... oh wait... maybe i should call you jr? would that be spokesperson?
and no, it ISNT that simple ;) :yes
I am not JK sorry. But what I see in this statement is Regardless of Brand, JK use's set levels off PPM for various stages never going over 1200ppm regardless of the strain. I did not get the impression he was saying all Nutes are the same, just that he uses certian regimen regardless of the Nute Company or their recommendations. JMO
I was simply clarifing for you, since you wanted to read between the lines. I suggest you calm down.
thank you
