Promix users - High runoff PPM out of the bag?
BloodSweatBeersstarted grow question 6y ago
For those who use promix, I'm wondering if you've noticed high outflow PPM from fresh promix? I'm using promix HPCC.
My inflow was 300
My outflow was nearly 2000
I calibrated my bluelab pen to ensure accuracy.
All numbers are on the PPM500 scale.

@nor-cal it depends on what promix variant heās running. It can run hot in general. We arenāt talking time release nutrient pellets but yes there are amended options mx, bx, etc. Some are loaded with mycorrhizae and other beneficials.
@blood...tough spot for sure. Keep flushing and youāll stress that young seedling. Donāt flush and you may burn her and stunt her anyways. Try to pull her out with intact root mass and repot and youāll for sure stress her into a he.
Calling in backup...
@organoman what would you do?

I would flush heavily with 250ml of peroxide per gallon of water. It will do no stress to your seedling. In fact.. your seedling will by loving it. Expect a lot of fizz . And its the onlyway you can fully saturate a soil excessively without drowning a plant

Does promix have nutrients in the soil to start with? If so this would cause your high readings. š¤š¤

First time testing PPM and slightly panicked :cRunoff was at 2200PPM. I flushed her with 5L of pH 5.8 water. I got the runoff to 1000PPM where I left it. The pH was at 7 though and was higher than before the flush. Why is that? I always pH before watering. Also, is the flush going to cause trouble for her? I kind of panicked.6y ago
