PPMs are running high during germination
WeedDoctorSamstarted grow question 4 years ago
My 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?

I dont do dwc or hydros at all, but if it was me in ur position i would just add RO water untill i got the desired ppm.
Good luck tho.
Stay lit hydrogrowmie.

Hello. If they germinate? Are they still seeds? Seeds only need water till the first true set of leaves come up. Always charge up your water with oxygen, it dissipates chlorine and the plants love it. All the oxygen has been boiled out of distilled water, good for car battery's not for plants. So charge it up. Good Luck. Chuck.

Hello community! I broke 2 branches this week. The first one happened by accident when I was draining the runoff, and the other when I was bending it.And today I came across a video where the author explains that silica can cause brittleness of branches. Does anyone have experience with silica and have you experienced anything like this? I add potassium silicate with each watering, at a concentration of 15ppm
