Feeding for Hydroponics
TimTheTerpMananswered grow question 6y ago
If you choose to measure by PPM, hydro growers should begin with a solution that has 500 PPM and increase by 50 every week. The pH should be close to 5.5, and at least 5.2. Any nutrient with less than 200 PPM will be very light. Hope this helps.. Happy growing! 👊

Autoflower PPM Requirements - DWCI have found this plant's water/nutrient intake is equal at 350ppm right now - end week 5. I am beginning to feel after several auto grows that the ppm requirement with GH nutrients is WAY less than what the web serves up? I doubt I can push this one beyond 500ppm? (0ppm water)Week 5

How dark is too dark?Are these looking too green? I’m not seeing any N-tox clawing but they are pretty dark, growth is pretty vigorous and steady though so I don’t know. They are in a pretty rich organic medium.

PPMs are running high during germinationMy PPMs are reading 600 in the DWC reservoir, which seems high. Tap water reads 380 normally. Doing a top feed system so the roots will reach the top feed tube in about 2 days if they germinate. Should I do a complete res change or just top up with pH'd RO/distilled water?Week 1

Calcium in tap waterIs 95mg/L calcium too much in tap water? (It's probably a little lower than that, since that's exit measurement from the waterworks.)
I haven't seen any signs of acute calcium toxicity, but I'm worried about buildup.Feeding. Chemical composition

Salt nutrientsHi! Made an excel based on https://www.omnicalculator.com/biology/water-soluble-fertilizer to make a suitable recipe for veg. I believe the desired NPK ratios are around 313. I think I made an ok recipe, although its a bit high on Calcium. Think this will work? Thx!
