Hi! I need your help.
Today for the first time I checked the PPM coming out of my plants. I have two strains, both in Fox Farms soil. They are in mid-flower. One strain's leaves are dying off, and I thought it was a little soon, so worried I might have a lockout. So I checked one plant from each variety. Here's what I found:
WATER GOING INTO PLANTS: 220 ppm
WATER COMING OUT OF KUSH MINTS (the "good" plants): 980 ppm
WATER COMING OUT OF GG4 (the "dying" plants): 630 ppm
What does this mean??? The plants I thought were fine are reading 2070. The plants I feared were locked out are reading 630 ppm. Both varieties get fed the same amount at the same times. So, questions:
1. What does this mean in terms of salt build-up in the soil?
2. How can the two strains be so completely different in runoff?
3. What do I need to do, if anything?
Here are photos.
GG4, the “dying” 630 ppm plants (the saggy leaves are more due to me letting them dry out to get the truest reading I could):
Kush Mints, the “good” 980 ppm plants:
What's the answer? Often, I think the best answer is "do nothing." I'm very confused by these results, though.
Thanks for your insights, you guys really help!
