PPM levels in organic soils to high for seedlings and Veg. stage?

Theknifemanstarted grow question 3 years ago

I've read several places that you want them low during seedling and we'll into veg. and a lot of places advise on foxfarm happy frog. I did a test just to set a base line and my ppms are close to 1000 right out of the gate. If the ppms are to hi, why would they advise this way?

That's one of the reasons I stopped using fox farm line. Not organic, but they state it is on bottle and way too strong in many cases. Nute company needs to sell more nutes. My first diary here is made still with fox farm, I ended up using 1/4 of recommendations. All the best !!!

you should start your seedlings in a mix that is not full of added nutrients such as a good quality potting mix or something along those lines , even older soil will suffice then once the plant has grown a bit and has several sets of leaves you then transplant it into your fox soil

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200. I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new). Should I increase EC of the feeding water? I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.

expert opinion asked ? Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder) I'm not sure about the degree of ripeness. I used Co2 for a few weeks (1000ppm), the grower says ~60-70 days of flowering, so I would be missing 10-20 days, but they look quite ripe ? What should I do Thank you

Questions about watering I created a 40 ml solution, the instructions say to transplant after the sprout has grown to the top of the plastic cover and the roots are visible through the plug. The question is, is 40 ml of liquid enough for this growth? I think not.
