Tds of water is 490. Is that a problem.
BraveheartGeneticsanswered grow question 3 years ago
Keep an eye on your plants but I think you'll be ok. You may have to adjust nutrients added so not to burn the plant. Play it by ear; If you spend a lot of time with her then that shouldn't be a problem. I know ground source water is always UVC blasted (or at least it should be) so you shouldn't have any harmful bacteria. You can get home devices that UVC your water as it comes in. Seen them with other more personal ground source water. It will lose calcium as it moves through pipes and collecting in certain areas. They are testing at the source and will be higher. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing

My water comes from underground aquafers. The annual report actually had higher values. I will get done distilled water to test it against but the water is very hard even before the tds meter.

Its mostly magnesium and calcium in the water anyway. both beneficial to plant growth.

It really depends where your water comes from. 490 is quite high, but if you live in an mountainous area it may have lots of mineral and macro nutrients in it. Which would be beneficial. Make sure your meter is working properly by testing at different sites and using deionised water as a control as the TDS should be zero. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing.

Unless your talking nutrients water then that's acceptable

Anything over 300 is poor for drinking. You want between 50 & 150ppm. My guess is your meter needs to be calibrated.

EC and PH of Runoff still Higher than Solution even after a flush and lowering the ECHi, i still having this problem even after down the concentration of solution for 1/4 that scheduling feeding table says. I have some measurements listed in the week 10. Maybe my media is buffering PH and EC because i used to recycle it over times?4 years ago

What am I doing wrong? I thought I had a handle on tis.Can someone tell me what is wrong with my plant?
It used to droop badly but I fixed that (underwatering) and the plant looks a lot better.
Stalk was weak so I switched to "Veg" (mostly blue light) mode.
I also added proper nutrients which are helping even more.
Help??Plant. Stem - Weak

EC and PH of Runoff is Higher than SolutionI'm putting a full nutrients indication in all watering since beginning of flowering. And I was suspecting it was too much, so I decided to measure the runoff of the plant. And the measuremet was:
PH - in: 5.88 -> out: 6.76
EC - in: 1.15 -> out: 1.27
And now? what this mean?Week 9
