Grow QuestionsPh up lowering my ppm

Ph up lowering my ppm

Shuffleshugg420started grow question 4 years ago

Hey guys, I am having a little trouble with my feeding, the issue is that I am mixing up my nuts adding pH up to get to 6.5ph but this is taking my ppm down from 950 to 105ppm. Can you tell me if this will effect my plants as what can I do to stop it ? Thanks in advance

Hi! I think you are reading your meter incorrectly and it is actually rising your PPM from 950 -> 1050. There might be a small 10x in the meter when it goes above 999PPM. It is not possible that your pH up mystically makes your nutes disappear from the solution. Hope this helps! 👌

Hello.. Hope you are well.. 1st off.. Are u in a hard or soft water area (do u know ur ph value from tap).. Are u using the right type of nutes for ur area and wot levels of feed are u putting in? .. Most feed will naturally drop ur ph? .. To raise my ph i personally use liquid silicon as a ph up adjuster.. U cant use this if useing hydrogen peroxide in ur mix tho.. Any problems /question just ask.. We all glad to help if we can.. 👍🍀

Questions about watering I created a 40 ml solution, the instructions say to transplant after the sprout has grown to the top of the plastic cover and the roots are visible through the plug. The question is, is 40 ml of liquid enough for this growth? I think not.

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200. I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new). Should I increase EC of the feeding water? I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.

expert opinion asked ? Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder) I'm not sure about the degree of ripeness. I used Co2 for a few weeks (1000ppm), the grower says ~60-70 days of flowering, so I would be missing 10-20 days, but they look quite ripe ? What should I do Thank you

First time testing PPM and slightly panicked :c Runoff was at 2200PPM. I flushed her with 5L of pH 5.8 water. I got the runoff to 1000PPM where I left it. The pH was at 7 though and was higher than before the flush. Why is that? I always pH before watering. Also, is the flush going to cause trouble for her? I kind of panicked.
