Hello growmie, so if you work in the ground you don't have to pay attention to your ppm. If your soil is pre-fertilized for 2 weeks and then you work with the specified fertilization plan of the brand and take half doses as the standard mass, the ppm should not be a concern. I think ppm will be a serious topic at the hydroculture. Organic farming methods that's how I do it, I've never looked at my ppm. The Fox
