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.

Nutritions
Need some advice here, nutes reading the same at 600 to 550ppm {6 days} not drinking much water as well compared to the week prior when I was feeding at 900 they drop to 500ppm 6 days. The pH has been dropping daily 6 to 5.3 in 3 days.

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?

When should you start using flowering nutrients exactly? As soon as the first pistils appear like in the picture? Or when? In autoflowering plants.
