Yes getting a ph meter is very helpful. I would recommend staying away from the really cheap ones. You get what you pay for rings true.

Soil getting less
As everybody knows, when we watering soil, it gets more less in every watering. If I add soil when it gets less, will it be a problem ? Because I'm using Plagron Light Mix, it has fertilizer.

Increase Nutes?
How are they looking? I’m only feeding 1/2 the nutes recommended on the bottle and I’m running around 600ppfd. Do you think they look like they need more light or nutes.

1st time coco coir: How does 500 ml of water for a 5 liter grow bag sound? Significant other and I tested with a 4th bag to try to get a feel for how much water impacts the weight of the bag and the amount of run-off water. We felt confident, but here for 2nd opinions, advice.

Flush duration in DWC
Okay, so here's the deal. A lot of people say that flushing should take a week or two. BUT flushing DWC could take only as little as 2 days. Is that true or does the medium really not matter at all? THX :)

I’ve been flushing for 2 weeks. At what TDS runoff level do you harvest the plant?
I’ve been flushing my plant with properly pH’ed water for the last 2 weeks. Today the TDS runoff was 530 ppm. What is the appropriate TDS level to reach BEFORE harvesting the plant? What is a good TDS runoff level to determine if it’s good to harvest or not?

EC and PPM
I read about EC and PPM. I have a meter that reads both, and it says my PPM is too low, and the number it gives for EC is like 1200 and the charts all have numbers like 1.2-2. WTF. I ran out of pH strips but I know my pH is good, I used distilled water. What's everyone's thought?

First harvest
Welcome to the members. It will be my first harvest. How much time do you think you have left? I asked this question a week ago, but the flowers swelled up a lot in a week. Can you leave 2 more weeks? In such a case, should I start washing with only clean water with a pH?
