answered grow question 3y ago
Hello. In the back of my Advanced Nutrient catalogue it has charts that are up to 2000 ppm. I usually do 800 to 1000 ppm in veg and 1200 to 1400 ppm in flowering. At 1600 I usually get some leaf tip burning and huge buds.. Chuck.

Ph soluzione nutriente aumenta da solo?
Ho sbagliato qualcosa nel misurare il ph e anche quantità nutrienti(era 0.05 ho messo 0.5)sembra si siano riprese ma ho rallentato tutto😔 domanda:è normale che il ph della soluzione preparata aumenti da solo? Era 6.4 oggi 7.2🤨

Nutes question. (They’re listed in diary)
I am finding it really difficult to feed. I can’t seem to get the right mixture of things, and is it okay to mix it all in one gallon. What ppm should I reach for? Do I adjust the waters pH prior to adding nutrients assuming it’ll increase after adding nutes.

Crazy PH drop and High EC
So I mixed a ½ gal solution but adjusted it by adding water to ⅔ gal to bring down the initial EC/ppm testing at around 1400/700. I ph to 5.8 and fed, the runoff was shy of 20% testing at PH 2.65 EC 3940 ppm 1970 Why and how to fix?

Fertilizer conundrum
Should I use fertilizer with every watering or every other? I use biobizz bio-Grow and my girls are close to flowering. Also during flowering I use bio-Grow plus bio-bloom or just bloom? I have auto flowering strains.

Nuts burn
Question for you guys, i kept in mind that autoflowers didn't need as much nuts as classic feminized seeds. I began to check the ppm today and questioned myself. Could i add much more pk if the ppms are still good for the flowering stage ? It means that i don't risk nuts burn ?

Spiral LST vs Topdressing/mulch
Spiral LST vs topdressing/mulch.. I planned on training like shown in picture, just not sure how this will work out with 1" of mulch and a monthly topdressing with all the pegs/wires, might get tricky. Thought about bending all sec branches to the outside vs 1out 1in?? Cheers

Spraying plants
I have been feeding the plant with some extra Canna BOOST in the spray and applying directly to all plants and not just the leaves. I have noticed that the tent started smelling less of weed and more like the product. Am I doing it wrong?Is it losing quality? can buds be sprayed?

How much does the fox farm trio affect pH and how much pH up (or down) would be needed for correct pH of a 7.0 gallon water.
Anybody here grow outdoors in soil and use fox farm products? I was wondering if someone could approximate how much 2tbsp big bloom, 2 grow big, 1 tiger bloom would lower a neutral 7.0 gallon of water. I have drops but it's hard to see after adding bb. No meter. No money 4 one.

Test a EC or PPM meter
Is there any way of testing an EC or PPM meter to see how accurate it is? My EC meter seems to be giving me strange results compared to my PPM Meter. Both are cheap meters from china.
