Hi @Grownewgenetics! Check this out: https://greenleafnutrients.com/feeding-calculator/ as you can see GreenLeafNutrients feeding schedule suggests an average EC of .55 (277ppm) for seedlings, 1.1 (555ppm) for regular veg and 1.25 (625ppm) for an extended veg. I wouldn't use FishMix and Megacrop simultaneously, that's a lot of Nitrogen, especially for an auto. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

Hey there @Grownewgenetics An average PPM range for each stage looks something like this. Seedlings: 100-250, First half of Veg: 300-400, Second Half Veg: of 450-700, First Half of Flower: 750-950, Second Half of flower: 1000-1600, and when flushing/entering harvest you want 0! However if you are using Organic Nutrients like @mad_scientist mentioned then I wouldn't worry about measuring the PPMs of the water. Hope this helps 😎

Hello ! I would use MegaCrop and Fish mix together by using half straight of each one if you are mixing them together. From what I have seen the MegaCrop amount of nitrogen is higher than the Fish mix amount , so by mixing half straight you are not giving them too much nitrogen like Stick stated but less in fact.

Hello @grownewgenetics ! Measuring ppm with organic nutrients is useless. Just don't do it. Organic nutrients have a lot of organic matter diluted inside them which raises the ppm value and gives no nutritional value to the plants. If you were using synthetic fertilizers 420 ppm it might have been a bit strong considering you are in soil. Just stick to the ml/l measuring. Happy growing ! 👊

My answer would be less technical. A few things i mentioned in your grow. i think you are using a foxfarmsoil=? ( ocean forest or happy frog?) there are better soils for automaticplants-seedlings. I see a lot of standing water in the pictures. Ok the feeding . I wont feed a seedling before it shows up 4th node. Those Girl got an " automaticplant" treatment to get nice and big Girls. The 1 ml fishmix is fine . but megacrop is to heavy in that stage. for more answers feel free to look into my diaries or ask per PM.. Greetings

It's always best to you have your base ppm as low as you can so when you add your nutrients your plant can absorb all those instead of crap thats in the water previous to adding nutrients . For the time being i wouldn't change anything I would just keep doing what you are doing because its working . You're plants aren't burning and are suffering from any deficiency's so over all your doing really well . To me PPM is important but not really . It's just people going the extra mile for pretty much nothing . You can judge yourself and see the reactions when you feed them so at the end of the day there isnt a need to measure out your ppm allllll theeee tiiimmmmmee or even be worried about it at all , I known growers doing this 20 years dont even use PPM meters so just keep that in mind . I hope this information serves you well ! -Happy Growing!

Short answer 25 PPM (tap water value). Long answer: I start feeding at the 3d week 100 PPM worth of calcium / magnesium additive, only because my tap water is too soft. If my tap water were higher (150 to 250 PPM) I would feed nothing during veg. What you should do is up pot from those half liter pots to 4 liter (or 1 gallon) pot and let the plant feed from the soil. After that when it's time to flower, up pot again to 11 liters (3 gallon) pot, that will feed the plant well into 2 or 3 weeks into flowering. How can you tell it's time to up pot? That's easy, when you fully saturate the pot with water, it will only last 2 or 3 days before drying up. If your soil is a light mix, you will be feeding earlier, I wait until I see first signs of deficiency before feeding, because a slight deficiency will not impact yield, but over feeding can be disastrous. Following this guidelines, I know that when I do start feeding, the soil is fairly devoid of nutes and so I start feeding around 1.2 EC (600 PPM), depending on how the plant react, I maintain that value or go up, if you are unsure how much to up a feeding, a 20% strength increase is a good starting point.
