Yellowing of leaves

PaulM
PaulMstarted grow question 3 years ago
I usually grow Outdoor, easier I don't add any nutrients to the plants. Only organic things during the grow, if something is missing. The soil is a mix of compost and earth with nutrients (stuff you buy for vegetables). When you are talking of ppm, what is it about ? Nitrogen ?

I just checked your diary. The yellowing of the seedling leaves is of no concern at this age, often the first few sets of leaves can be "funny" as the plant establishes itself and I would definitely not feed or worry about the leaves at this age of your seedlings, they will work themselves out and get going soon enough. However, growing autos and photoperiod plants in the same tent is going to pose problems, your photoperiod plants will not flower at 18/6 and your autos will not perform very well at 12/12. When it comes to tent growing, it is all autos or all photoperiod plants and never mix the two, otherwise one is going to lose out, sorry to say.

Ppm is parts per million. It measures how many "contaminenets" or nutrients for us, is in a liquid

Bio-Vega made by Bio-Canna is a simply superb organic nutrient that I can HIGHLY recommend if yellow leaves are a concern, but half strength is plenty, even quarter strength will be enough for the Thai/African cross that Zamaldelica is.

Parts Per Million. (PPM) - the amount of dissolved mineral salts in an amount of water. EC stands for "electrical conductivity", which is another way of measuring (mineral) salt content in water. These two measurement systems are handy for soil-less growing whereby the strength of the applied nutrient solution is critical to a plants health. It does not apply directly to just one nutrient, but the total amount of various dissolved nutrient salts in a specific quantity of water. Since you are growing in soil, just follow the directions on the packet/bottle of whichever products you are using and you won't have to worry about ppm or EC, but in reality, mostly half strength of whatever they recommend is usually plenty strong enough. Congratulations on choosing the awesome Zamaldelica from one of my favourite seedbanks, the mighty Ace Seeds, you will be in for a treat, but expect a slow flowering process, however, the results will be well worth waiting for, I guarantee it! A trip in a bong! Cheers, Organoman.

When people refer to PPM it means parts per million of total dissolved solids in a liquid solution. It can also be said as EC, electric current, EC is more accurate as PPM is calculated using EC but not everyone coverts it the same. It only works on some things dissolve in water but the main nutrients growers use are all detected. so nitrogen, phosphorus potassium, gets em all as mineral slats dissolved in the water. If you in a soil grow and you use compost or manures you will not need to monitor your EC or PPM. If you use liquid nutrients like Advanced Nutrition or General Hydroponics you will do that to the water your about to feed. I grow in a coir living soiless medium and use dry amendments like Gaia Green. I have never once referenced my PPM or EC. It manages it all on its own. Happy Growing!
