What's a good ec , ppm for soil grow around week 4 veg ?
Homestickycannabisstarted grow question 4 years ago
Hello growmies and ladies. Ok I just got a ppm EC meter and I'm on the upside of the learning curve for ec and ppm . I checked the water I'm using and it showed a 140 ppm and a EC of 340. I'm using filtered and de chlorinated water . Can I use water as is providing I adjust pH ?

Same as our water so you can check our results.
Only use bottled water for germination a first few days of seedling rest is tap that sits for 24 hrs
EC is not really that effective for soil, that is more for hydro though cant hurt to watch it
Its just an entirely different grow medium from coco or DWC as it buffers whatever you put into it
The imprecision of soil is one reason we went to coco though to be honest.

Spiruline fertilizerJust wondering if anybody here has experience in using Spiruline as source of food for the plants?
It is an algae with lots of nutrients and beneficial stuff and I am trying to use it for my plant but perhaps I am doing something wrong/useless.
Any experience to share?Feeding. Other

Super low runoff PH, even after corrective measures being taken. Plant otherwise okay, but probably isn't taking all her nutrients.My runoff PH has been hitting mid-5s, even after flushing (w/ & w/o additive). Been trying to raise with higher PH water, used 7.25PH water today and the runoff was still 5.56. She looks healthy other than some discoloration in some leaves, so it isn't killing her but.....????5 years ago
