Hey doc you def give allot of great knowledge up thanks man.
I only ph and I bought a ppm reader but using house and garden they don't give you a ppm chart so I don't know what to compare off of?
when I started my first grow a few months back I was writing everything down and trying to keep a daily log, but with me doing all stages at once and doing a perpetual grow there were to many things to keep track of so I decided to just make sure I go by h & g food chart, ph, and watch for any inconsistencies. Now I'm on my second grow and am learning so much and have a good hold on things. anyway with the ramble
2 questions
what do i compare my ppms with using h & g aqua flakes?
and how do you keep a detailed journal?
You dont compare your ppms to anything, maybe a chart would help give you a range but fact is there most likely gonna give you high ppms so you can buy more juice
As for taking a log just keep a close eye on them everyday, things dont go down hill over night, so you always wanna be very aware there health compared to the days before when they were looking healthy. n keep a record of your feeding info like ppms, ph days you had to flush so you can keep track n know exactly where, when and why they might be going down hill, hope that helped
Okay then, As soon as I get some money I'll go buy a PPM Stick.
What should my PPM Be at Doc?
Is there like a chart I should follow?
My opinion I start off at about 600 ppms in veg n top out at 1100 for about a week only in mid flowering and youve seen my big ass girls. Ive taken my ppms and just seen problems arise with nutrient lockout and the tips of leaves burning(usually a sign of over fert.)
Pheno has put it out there pretty blunt hes absolutely right about your girls being over fed with nutrition, your in coco so little different rules apply to you than me, Im under the impression theres usually more flushing involved with coco/soil. Ive seen alot of people that feed, feed, then third day they flush to keep from salt build ups
Thats why you gotta start low with your ppms and rise em up from there, If you see any problems come about from that than you gotta lower them back down n do a good flush so they'll actually take in your nutrition, n get to being healthy again.
Take this advice, your girls will be much more healthy, n your yield is really going to def bump up this run brotha
