TimTheTerpMananswered grow question 5y 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! 👊

Good PPM for feeding Autos, 2nd week flowering.What's a comfy place for me to be for PPM for nutrient feeding for Autos (2nd week flowering)? Currently for the chart I've been following I end up at under 400PPM but have been bumping it to 450. Can I go a little heavier?

Are these pH pens reliable?This pH pen sucks ass! I've purchased calibration liquid at 7.0 and have done calibration for both pens, and prepared another 4.0 solution. one reads 3,8 the other one reads 4,3. My range is already 5.5 - 6.1 = 0.6. How am I supposed to deal with this?😡

Substitute for liquid hydroponic nutrient solutions Those 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?

Salt nutrients Hi! 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!
