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

Does anyone knows if should I flush the pot ahead of time to reduce nutrients levels?As you can see from last pic from week 6, I have used pre amended soil with 2.5 % of Nitrogen on dry mass. (sorry for the italian).
Should I flush the pot ahead of time in order to reduce nutrients level so to both solve the yellow tips problem and favour the flowering stage?6y ago

Are my TDS high? 660ppmSo my TDS are high right?? I live in the Phoenix area, very hard water. I used a garden hose filter that apparently will pull some of the minerals out. But at 660ppm for fresh water after just a light amount of nutrients for the seedling. What happens if I continue like this?Week 1

WaterIs it bad to make my water ahead of time ? I mixed my nutrients (big bud, formulex, bud candy & molasses) in with the water & have let it sit out for over a day. I heard letting it sit out gets the chlorine out (I put a towel over it though so my cat/other stuff would get in it)Feeding. Chemical composition
