490 ppm(parts per million) that's the count of minerals and what not in the water. The higher the number the more minerals and 62 degrees is how warm your water is pretty simple
Yep..@EventHorizan lol..is that what that says? Old eyes over here
Certainly makes more sense..carry on lmfao
You really should use it asap.. if not at least throw a air stone in it...
TDS is the 500 scale..so it's real easy. You double the number and add decimals.
If I round your number up to 500 ppm..Your EC would be 1.0.
2.0 EC = 1000 ppm
Get it?
On that note..1 EC is extremely high for tap. Mines coming out at .3 or 150 ppm TDS. I still need to RO my water or my PH in peat will climb too high from the alkalinity.
.49 ec
49 x .5 conversion = 245
245 ppm
I like watching comparisons :)Thanks EHorizon! I was checking the other thread on VB. The consensus is to use it right away. Some have stored it for a week but when it comes right down to it.. making what you need for hand watering isn't all that difficult.. it's not like I have 7 bottles of this and that to throw in ;) I am excited to try V+B. I'm doing half of my plants with Humboldt County's Own and half with V+B. Should be interesting to see the differences!
I can't help much cause in familiar with you median .Well... so I did my first feeding yesterday. Half the plants with V+B and the other half with Humbolt County's Own.
In a gallon of RO (PH 6.0) I added 1/2 tsp of Protekt. Waited about 10 minutes and added some 1 ml of Cal-Mag+ and 4 grams of V+B. I ended up with a PPM of 970 and a PH of 6.9. I PH'd down to 5.8
I was concerned with the 970 PPM and the youth of my girls so I added another half gallon of water which brought the PPM down to around 600. The 970 scared the crap out of me.
I did the same with the Humboldt County's Own and used 1 ml of Micro, Grow, Bloom and Snow Storm Ultra. The PPM was interesting... 320! PH was at 9.6 and I dropped it to 5.8
About 4 hours after feeding the MPUrkles looked fine except for one. It's my runt and all of it's leaves were eagle clawed, drooping and greener than the others. I gave a good flush with RO and by this morning the leaves were unclawed (for the most part) and the plant was standing up fairly straight. After 24 hours they all look really great, but the HCO fed plants seem to have grown about 1/4" in height and leaf stems seem to be spreading more when compared to the height of the V+B fed. Still early and only one feeding so far. Anyone have a recommendation on PPM for young plants (2+weeks and starting 3rd node / Pro-Mix HP soiless). (PPM=500 scale)
