Is my EC ok for plain water?
Faegrows
started grow question 5y ago
Stupid question but the EC on my meter is it 0.3 or 3.7? I never really minded the EC just ppm as I grow in canna Coco plus but now I'm wondering if the EC is actually right. PH is usually 6.3-6.4.

It means your ppm is about 185ppm 0.37. 500ppm is 1.0 ec. 1000ppm is 2.0 ec Take your ppm and double it. This is the hanna reading.

So it’s not bad for tap water.. anything above .4 EC would be worrisome to me. And yours is .37

Water
I watered 5 days ago with first nutes. Bottom half still seems moist. (Using cheap meter) Should I water without nutes, even if it is it moist? Its a 5 gallon pot. Plant may have been a little small to transplant. How much water should I be giving when I do water at this stage?

Forgot to alter pH
Hi I forgot to alter the pH. I already have some issues (I think pH? Check picture). What’s worse, overwatering or too high pH? Do I need to flush ASAP or wait till next watering cycle? The pH of the water I used is 7,7 and I have organic potting soil so is it a big deal or not?

Bruce Banner specific needs
I was wondering what specific needs does the Bruce Banner #3 strain needs for climate and nutrients, grow calendar and training techniques but my grow space is small : 60 x 40 cm. (23 x 15 inches) so I should probably go for a sog, big bud or lollypopping. Thanks

What would be your recipe?
Hi. How would you make a good soil improver for flowering ? In my case, the trick is that I only have : vermicompost , bat guano, bone meal and bananas peels but no info about each of their NPK at all. Thanks

Help. Will she fatten up or is she done?
She's 8 week auto Blueberry. Small genetics at only 60cm fully grown. She's still developing at the bottom but pistils are turning brown. I want to get her to fatten up a bit more before harvest. Harvest time states around 10 weeks. How can I get her bigger buds? Is she ok?

Coco and Worm Castings - Does Total Dissolved Solids Matter?
Does total disolved solids (TDS) matter when growing in coco, worm castings, and organic dry ammendments? Am I at risk of a build up of salts? I have seen 2700 ppm in my current grow, but are these simply not salts and therefore OK? Plants look good happy. TY
