PPM

EVERYTHINGFRIEDISGOODstarted grow question 3 years ago

both are germinate same day and same pack from ethos but have little different on PPM -300-400 grow faster than 500-600 ppm -PH control to 5.8 but going up everyday in 3day PH is 6.2 (PH +0.2 perday) i dont know why but try to keep it 5.8 every 3 days

Week 1

Feeding. Chemical composition

Feeding schedule for autos in water grows. Start at 200 ppm, 0.4 ec for their first week. If you are seeing good growth by the end of that week then increase by 100 ppm, 0.2 ec. Autos usually max out around 600ppm 1.2 ec to 650 ppm, 1.3 ec. Your water should be prepared 24 hours before hand to help to settle the natural ph rise in the water. A bubbler can help it reach its max ph a little faster. Then you add your nutrients, ph the solution and your good to go. It is also best to keep it as close to 5.8 through your veg as possible. 6 to 7 is for soil grows, 5.5 to 6.5 is water grows. 5.5 to 6.0 in veg and 6.2 to 6.3 in flower is where they like to be. After you feed if ph rises to fast add a little more nutrients, if it lowers to fast then less nutrients. When the ph stays pretty steady is what we call having dialed it in.

Every seed is an unique, individual, organic being, with its own set of rules to follow. Even 2 seeds that grew next to each other and taken from the same bud will be different. Big breeders will have possibly tens or even hundreds of mother plants for a years' supply of seeds to sell, - so even if they come from the same packet, the mother (seed) plants could/will be very different from each other. pH drift is normal, but as long as it is somewhere between 5.8 and 6.8, there is nothing really to worry about. It does not need to be exactly 5.8375693 for a plant to grow properly, they have been surviving for Eons without help and without perfect pH!

Your doing well if ph only drifts that high in 3 days. I have had ph drift in a day. Its normal in your method of growing to have a ph drift. So long as water level going down ec stable or lowering and ph doing what it's doing your fine. Good luck

Okay my thing with this early on in the grow.. consider everything in the environment. What’s the variables between the two? What’s different for this one compared to that one? For instance, I had a tent that had a heat vent right against the back of the tent and the buckets back there were going ape shit with issues and fluctuations because the heat would hit it every 15 min and cause things to fluctuate.. take into account any possible variables before starting to tinker with other things. Again, this early on in a grow.. there should not be significant differences in nutrient uptake or ph drift naturally that’s effecting one but not the other. It’s very likely an outside force

If you are asking why ph is going up it is called ph drift and it is normal. Can be caused by media you are growing in Can be caused by impurities in water binding to acid of your ph down Can be caused by the nutrients and how they are buffered. It is slow now, but as your nutrient strength increases as well as when plants are consuming more it can speed up the drift. Reservoir size also effects the speed at which ph drift occurs. If you are asking why the plant with less nutrients is growing faster it could be because they are still young and do not need much for nutrition at this point. So the lower ppm is more ideal at that stage, that or just a different phenotype.
