How to measure PPM
Shagrathanswered grow question 6y ago
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

i don't know where the fault lies, my plant is growing too slowly and the leaves on the buds are deformed. The last time I tested the soil pH was 7.5 even though I watered at 6.5 and the runoff ppm was 1800. Can anyone tell me what I should do now to make the plants grow well.3y ago

Salt nutrientsHi folks! I can get my hands on Yara Calcinit 15.5-0-0 and a base salt with 6-18-36+3MgO. Does the MgO make the epsom salt redundant? And what are the NPK ratio's I'm aiming for during veg and flower? I have seen and read so many numbers, not sure what to believe anymore. Thanks!Week 8

Ensuring nutrient solution isn't too strong for cocoIs there a way I can make sure my nutrient solution isn't too strong while I save for an EC meter? Should I just go off CANNA's chart and use the lower values? If anybody could point me in the right direction or show me a good canna coco chart that has worked for them, please do!Week 1
