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

1 week into flowering, no pistils on preflowers yet. Change to flower nutes, or what?
Hi guys a couple of questions: 1) When should I change to flowering nutes? I heard high nitrogen can hold back flower formation. 2) Should I be concerned or look out for anything else? Background: - 1 week after flipping to 12/12 - Very vigorous and healthy (in DWC with CO2)

Salt nutrients
Hi! I found this calculator on https://www.omnicalculator.com/biology/water-soluble-fertilizer and I have analyzed the NPK salt I bought (KRISTALON ORANGE) and I don't think this one is suited for cannabis. Balance of N to K and even S seems way off. Do you guys agree?

Diamond black vs. Diamond nectar by GHE
Hi everyone, I've read Diamond nectar is very good. But I noticed there is a very similar product from the same brand: diamond black. I was wondering what's the difference, and which one would be the best in an indoor grow in coco with high frequency fertigation. Thanks

Why is my PH possessed?
Why is my PH refusing to go down from 9s to 6 unless I quadruple the normal amount of apple cider vinegar to 12ml? Normally 3ml does the job. This week, ml somehow doesn't move the needle. The EC is a little higher, could that be it? The RO is normal starting at 8, this week 10+

Good PPM for feeding Autos, 2nd week flowering.
What's a comfy place for me to be for PPM for nutrient feeding for Autos (2nd week flowering)? Currently for the chart I've been following I end up at under 400PPM but have been bumping it to 450. Can I go a little heavier?

Canna Coco A
Recommended mix ratio for Canna Coco A & B is 1:1 throughout a grow. Combined NPK is 5:4:3 (A: 4-0-1 & B: 0-4-2). Is it beneficial to change the mix ratio in flowering stage to lower the nitrogen component? (for example; 1 part A & 2 parts B)
