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

Substitute for liquid hydroponic nutrient solutionsThose solutions (like Hesi Hydro Growth) seem to be ridiculously overpriced, like 10€ for 1 liter fertilizer solution which consists of mostly water itself is a total ripoff in my understanding.
Is there a substitute for those heavily overpriced nutrient solutions?6y ago

Nitrogen claw in hot soil. To flush or not to flush - that is the question!Think my plant's suffering from nitrogen toxicity because some of the leaves are clawing and have yellow tips. Must be the hot soil because I haven't fed her with any nutrients. Should I leave a few days and see what happens or is it worth flushing the soil?6y ago

Adding P20 and K20 to a 8-0-0 and 0-6-12 A BI'm feeding Bionova Coco Forte A+B which is 8-0-0 and 0-6-12.
I'm afraid my buds will be airy due to low P and K dosages. Do you think this will be the case?
I was thinking of adding Bionova P20 and K20 to the schedule as she enters flower. Too much or should I go for it?Week 5

Accidentally poured 2mL of "Grow Big" into "Big Bloom" bottle.I absentmindedly put 2mL of FF "grow big" directly into the bottle of"Big Bloom" (the murky one with bat guano).
Is there going any type of reaction that will create products that would be unsafe for my plants? Haven't taken chemistry yet. Is it ruined?

How do stop or slow down coco coir pH from rising?I'm struggling to keep the pH of my coco coir/pumice mix from rising. I always use ph down to get nutrient going in at 5.5, and the run off water is always 6.5+, and leaves start yellowing/dying when pH reaches 6.8.
It doesn't swing, always up.

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)

Fert Switch Veg/Flower TimingWhen and how do you switch from Canna Vega to Canna Flores? Feel free to share any tips. What are your "signals"?
Do you suggest a hard switch like in the Canna schedule, or do you prefer transitioning by mixing the fertilizers?
If you need more info, please check the diary.
