Water more....perform a heavy flush of the substrate to bring the PPM down. Only way to help your high levels. Good luck and happy growing

Nutrient Considerations - Switching
Does anyone use Holi Moli Juice? I currently use General Hydroponics Flora Series and considering switching. Any considerations I should make before switching? Or perhaps don't fix what isn't broken? lol, let me know 😊👏

DIY fertilizer - Beet and sugar beet.
Beet molasses, has anyone had experience with that beside Biobizz products ? I was thinking to make an experiment with beet, but I can't find the sugar one at my country, so would any other strain be good for that? Any comment about diy fertilizer is welcome !!

Hydro
Hydroponic. I was told by a store that we can't use Organics in hydro because it will be gunk and bubble make foamy layers. Go clay pebbles drip system instead. Is that true?

runoff PPM elevated, how does this approach sound...
Watering till runoff now... runoff ppm was 2500+... Will be using very mild nutes to flush over 1 - 3 feeds... or until I am near my input, does this sound like an ok idea?

Nutrients that work without spending alot
So my first round I used just store bought miracle grow nutrients. Im old school and that worked for reggie buds back then. But wont make the sane mistake this time, as even after low I think it lead to newt burn. Any recommendations that are not super expensive but work forsoil?

How much does the fox farm trio affect pH and how much pH up (or down) would be needed for correct pH of a 7.0 gallon water.
Anybody here grow outdoors in soil and use fox farm products? I was wondering if someone could approximate how much 2tbsp big bloom, 2 grow big, 1 tiger bloom would lower a neutral 7.0 gallon of water. I have drops but it's hard to see after adding bb. No meter. No money 4 one.

1841PPM
So is an 1841ppm solution ok for a plant? I figured since it's in Flowering it should be an OK input, normally my ppm readings are 1240ppmish

Ppm and EC levels?
Bought a TDS meter for my second grow. I’ve looked around and have gotten a few ballpark answers on what i should keep the PPM and EC for veg-flower but just curious what the experienced community has to say.

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).
After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200. I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new). Should I increase EC of the feeding water? I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.

Burnt plants a bit with nutes for growing. When to start giving them nutes for blooming? (autoflowers)
I probably burnt my plants by giving them too much nutes for growing. (plagron alga grow) Stopped giving the nutes for a week, but they're still showing yellow tips. When would It be okay to start giving them nutes for the blooming phase? (plagron alga bloom) Day 35
