1500 ppm is way too strong
Lower your ppms. But I would do a flush first.. I would run at most half of what is reccomended.Ok, so I must have either Typo'd earlier, or just misread. (or too stoned).
But my Water reads: 400PPM / 0.6EC
Nute Solution reads: 1460PPM / 2.2EC
So is it still too strong? Is it that I am misunderstanding the directions on how to mix the nutes? Even with the fact that I am cutting Part A to 80%?
Note: Reason I am cutting part A to 80%... The directions for the Nutes include a test, so you can adjust your nutes based on the PPM of your input water. 7.5ml of Part A + 7.5ml of Part B mixed in one gallon of water will give you a PPM of 1160 and an EC of 1.85, after you subtract out the reading of your water, in our case, 400, or 0.6. Which would give us a solution with a PPM of 1560 or an EC of 2.4. So with our water being so high, it only took 80% of the part A to get us up to where we were told to be. As per the directions.
So, If I am way too strong, how far off am I? How did I fuck up the instructions so much, or misunderstand it so badly?
Any help would be appreciated here... and If you do see what is wrong, please help me a bit with it, not just tell me its wrong!
I think what these two fellows are trying to say is, that most companies have you running more nutes in your systems then that is needed, i.e, you use more they sell more.
1500 is a bit too strong, usually 2.0 ec is plenty.
i've never grown in dwc so i'll leave the rest to the better experienced in those matters.
good luck and good vibes to your grow
peace
Just cause someone else uses the same ppms and doesn't have problems doesn't mean it'll work for you. Their temps and overall plant health or metabolism might allow the plants to process more ppm/food, and if your having any room issues you can't expect to feed your plants at the peak of ppms and expect them to love it. Less is so much more...

Hey Farm... So my Dad and I are a few weeks into our first grow. We have been acting as sponges, taking in all advice/information we can get from here at the Farm, and from a few friends we both have, who have been growing successfully for a few years now.
We build the rooms this fall/winter, and were able to get it up and running a few weeks back. We aquired 6 GSC clones that looked happy and healthy when we planted them. They were in Solo cups in a perlite soiless mix. They are now in rockwool. 3gal pots.
We have been fighting to get our Humidity up since Day 1. And wondering if this is the key role in what is happening with our plants, or if we have other problems. Our rooms holds at approx. 50% RH.
The Plants seem generally happy, growing noticeably every day. But we are still noticing a few leaves here and there curling with brown spots.
As I stated above, we did find mite eggs on our plants, but have yet to find any actual mites, or any webbing. We did 3 sprays of Mighty Wash, 3 days apart, but were still noticing new eggs. We then were referred a systemic mite killer from a friend, what he uses. I unfortunately don't know exactly what it is called at the moment, but he called it doominator. That was fed 3 days ago. And so far, no more mite eggs.
I will end with a handful of pictures I took of some of the leaves... Hoping that you guys might be able to shine some light on what we have happening. Thanks very much!
Also... if you need anything else: More info, more or better pics... please, LMK, i will take as many as I need, and get any information you may need, to help us out.
