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

Ready for a flushing ?
As I don't have any magnifying glass or microscope to check the trichomes, I'm relying on the color of the pistils to evaluate the maturity of the plants. However, as it is my first grow, I don't really now if they are ready for a flushing. What do you think ?

Advanced Nutrients recommendations overkill(?)
I am wondering... Advanced Nutrients gives you recommendations on how to feed your plants and claim to be testing their products on real plants, yet, that dosage in 1 litre of water brings the EC up to 2.8 which can kill a plant easy. Opinions?

Is this nitrogen toxicity?
I fed her for the first time with some liquid seaweed. I went with a 50% recommended dose but the next day there were some clawed tips (3). It looks like it but I'm not sure. Help and suggestions needed. I flushed her and haven't given anymore since.🙏🏻

Exactly one week ago, we noticed a nutrient burn. The symptoms were initially quite mild, with a few yellowing tips. Now it looks like in the pictures. We already watered with pH 6.3 water without nutrients in the next watering. What else to do?
