Shagrathanswered grow question 5 years 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

Hello community! I broke 2 branches this week. The first one happened by accident when I was draining the runoff, and the other when I was bending it.And today I came across a video where the author explains that silica can cause brittleness of branches. Does anyone have experience with silica and have you experienced anything like this? I add potassium silicate with each watering, at a concentration of 15ppmFeeding. Chemical composition

PK Boost TimingBy what visual indicators do you determine the ideal timing for giving a week of PK13/14? The stretch seems mostly complete, the buds are thickening daily, and the first trichomes are appearing on the sugar leaves. Should I start now or wait a few more days?
