EC/ppm rating

I just added pk nutes to my water and my ec went up to 6.0 EC and only 300 PPM? Is this right? If not how do I fix this? do I need to feed more or less?

To further answer your question, sounds like you can go heavier on the nutrients for your plants that have been in flower for a good while. You could always mix up a double or triple strength batch (keeping the same percentages across your different components) then 'water down the mixture until you hit the PPM you're looking to provide for your plants. So if you're looking for something that's 500ppm or 700ppm start with a solution that's above that and water it down until you hit your target. I also use a smaller container to measure my pH and ppm, I keep my water in one-gallon water jugs and pour out a bit to test, adjust and re-test. : ) I can just stand up the tester and not have to hold it while it settles it's readings.

I use the small glass to measure the water that's all. I feed her by hand with a 5 liter spray thing.

@grow11, @MrStinky This is 3 liters of water mixed with 2.4 ml bloom and 0.8ml per liter grow of GH. So 7.2ml of bloom and 2.4ml of grow. I guess she needs more mutes then?

I think there's a decimal gone wrong in the EC of the question. I believe that's .6 not 6.0 especially if the PPM is 300.

How many ml water did you mix the nutes with and how many ml of nutes? Looks like a tiny glass - might just need diluting more.

My water is ~220ppm and when I added nutrients the other night and pH balanced it ended up around 500ppm so entirely possible. In my case, I'll double the nutrients next time then water down to be closer to 600ppm so I'm keeping the correct ratio but not harming the autos I'm growing.
