You could chew your waterSo I am trying to get a concrete answer on what the top end of dissolved solids in my RWDC system should be. I've pushed them up to 2500 ppm and they didn't burn, but that almost seems a tad excessive. I backed them down to 2200 and they seem to be enjoying it, but if I can force feed them with more nutes, I don't mind doing that. Obviously, I dont want to burn them though. Just wondering what some of you hydro guys think about the "high" ppm for flower idea. Thanks for the help.

I'm a complete noob but will offer my opinion that should be verified before accepting. ppm can be a little deceiving, EC is probably a better way to give or get more accurate info. A PPM meter measures EC and converts to ppm at differing conversion rates. Depending on the type of PPM meter you have this could be anywhere from 1EC = 500 ppm to 1EC =700ppm. Most here will use the conversion of 1EC = 500ppm since that is the general standard for the U.S. This is easy to find out if you have a meter that will show you EC and PPM. So you can see this makes a huge difference.So I am trying to get a concrete answer on what the top end of dissolved solids in my RWDC system should be.

An increase in temperature may also cause an increase in the number of ions in solution due to dissociation of molecules. As the conductivity of a solution is dependent on these factors then an increase in the solution's temperature will lead to an increase in its conductivity.
Yes most decent meters will have an auto adjustment for temp.An increase in temperature may also cause an increase in the number of ions in solution due to dissociation of molecules. As the conductivity of a solution is dependent on these factors then an increase in the solution's temperature will lead to an increase in its conductivity.
100ppb :/ my mind is blown. Now you have me curious as to what outside of chemistry that might be used for.At work I make water that alarms when it hits 100ppb lol it’s normally around 10 ppb or less. Hope to be able to start taking and using this water for my next hydro gro. Hard to get more clean than biopharm clean

Growing cells for big biopharm. If it’s going into the human body or being made into somthing that’s going to be injected Into the human body it has to be cleeeaaaan! But that’s just the pure water. My Water for injection is even cleaner, and is kept at 80deg C and circulating 24/7 to ensure it is clean and nothing can grow. The water is so clean that if you drank it, it would pull minerals out of your body
Forget all that shit. What do your plants tell you? How do they look, act, etcVery cool
Agree 50% and disagree 50%.Forget all that shit. What do your plants tell you? How do they look, act, etc
Don’t get so hung up on numbers, get to know your girls, instead of trying to figure out how hard you can pound them.
Just sayin,
