I understand the PPM but I have to check out the EC. I will take a look at that post but thank you
You said you're in DWC...
Very simple, with great results. Just get GH Micro, and bloom, along with cal mag.
Add 8 ml micro, 16 ml bloom, and 1 ml calman. It will put your ph at 5.7-5.9, and all the nutes you need. Look up Lucas formula. I add 1 ml cal mah, as some strains will need it.
Also make sure your water temps stay under 70. 67 is about perfect.
Water at 65 will hold 10x's as much O2 than at 75.
It will also prevent root rot. You do not want that. Flush the last 10 days. You can cut micro to 4 ml after at week 5 for some nice colors.
Being your 1st, this is by far the easiest method. I always use tap water, but if you have very hard tap, go to Ro
I read the article. I do have a ppm meter and i check that daily. It does not check ec though so i cant do the conversion on my own. I’m not still entirely sure if I’m getting this absorbed. This weed growing is getting very complicated it seemshttp://www.kindgreenbuds.com/marijuana-grow-guide/difference-between-ppm-and-ec/ This is the first site that came up in google search :)
Your ppm meter reads ec and multiplies it with a conversion factor between .5 to .7 to give you a ppm reading.I read the article. I do have a ppm meter and i check that daily.
