Is my PPM level good?

RedEyes34started grow question 5y ago

I used my TDS meter for the first time today to test the run off from watering my plants. The Bruce plants will be 3 weeks old on Wednesday. The run off came out to 1140 ppm. That’s still good right? I don’t need to start adding any nutes yet do I?

It's actually too high for a two-week plant those numbers are seen during flower. For veg, it should be around 800-900 ppm, so would not add any nutrients yet, I'd wait until later in Week 3. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.

I’m growing in Fox Farms Ocean Forest. That’s why it is high. I haven’t added anything to the soil other than perlite.

Should I switch to well water?I use tap water. For our normal flower/vegetable garden we use well water. I measured the EC/PPM of both. Tap: 0.5 mS/cm (=320 ppm), we live in an area with soft tapwater according to Water Agency (11°F-13°F max) Well: 0.32 (=205 ppm) -> how do I interpret this for well water?

"dunking" fabric pots in solution for feeding?I have recently been presented with the concept of "dipping": submerging fabric pot in solution for about 8 seconds and then picking up to drain. It is intriguing to me but I am curious about it causing overwatering or root rot. Thoughts?

Math check.Making my own bloom booster, aiming for a 0-10-10 ratio. I use powders and know that 1 tsp = 5ml. If make up a 1 litre solution, to achieve 0-10-10 would that mean 980ml of water 2 tsp of mono-ammonium phosphate 2 tsp of potassium sulphate?

How early can you give it nutrients?How early can I really give it nutrients? I've read when the plant has 3 or 4 sets of leaves but in my produce-growing experience I just give it a little nutrient once it forms its first set or second if I'm lazy.

Proper feeding question Quick question. How do you outdoor growers feed. Ex.g, Say I feed a gallon of mixed PHed nutes to my crop. Do you water as well? What if the soil is already wet like from a rain? If so before or after the nutes? I've looked online EVERYWHERE and cannot find an answer. Thank

When do I stop giving Nutrients?I know that i want to stop giving nutrients roughly 2 weeks before harvest, but its my first grow and i dont have the expertise to know when that point will be. So maybe someone experienced can tell me when to roughly stop giving nutrients. This is like Day 35 of Flowering.
