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

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.Week 4

When do you stop giving nutrients?Pictures taken 3 weeks into flowering. Its 3.5 weeks now. Started as pretty basic potting soil, most of the nutrients im sure are gone.
When do you switch to just pH corrected water to feed? Thinking 1 more week for my yellowing plants, and less for my very green one. Thoughts?Week 17
