Well best amd probably only way is to have an ec meter. Ppm's are converted numbers from ec thats measured and differing from manufacturer the ec is multiplied by 500,600 or 700 to get the PPM's

Nutrients
I’m using fox farm nutrients. How much do I use & do I pour it in my water? Do I ph balance my water after I’ve added it if so? Can I mist nutrients over the leaves or is it only for the soil ? Last, when do I switch from grow big to the others ?

I stopped giving my plants Plagron Silic Rock from mid last week (week 13, week 5 flower). Can anybody tell me if I did right to cut it in flower or does anybody has experience using this nute until the end of their grow? I think this nute is just for veg and early flower.

Hi! I want to buy additional nutrients which can be used for both soil+hydro. So far I got my eyes on Ghe's Flora Micro, FloraGro, FloraBloom and Calcium Magnesium. The store also has Hesi Root-complex which I believe is good. Any other important nutrients I'm missing? Thanks!

Is it worth buying mycorrhizae funghi at week 7?
Is it worth buying mycorrhizae fungi for my roots at this point? I only found about this now and i’m planning on flipping my plant in about a week. I’m wondering if it’s worth the investment or if I might as well leave it on this plant. Do I need to take her out of the pot if so

Coco and PPM runoff readings!
Hiya Folks 😊 With regards to feeding in Canna Coco Plus and using Canna nutrients. I'm watering with the correct amounts for the particular phase I'm in and everything PH and PPM wise is spot on...... If my PPM runoff is constantly higher should think about feeding less nutes?

PPMs are running high during germination
My PPMs are reading 600 in the DWC reservoir, which seems high. Tap water reads 380 normally. Doing a top feed system so the roots will reach the top feed tube in about 2 days if they germinate. Should I do a complete res change or just top up with pH'd RO/distilled water?
