PPM How much???
Padrinostarted grow question a year ago
Does anyone have like a general rule of thumb when it comes to how much ppms auto flowers do best with and at what stages? I see all types of crazy numbers on line and am pretty confused about the whole ordeal. Thanks for any help!

Germinate. 0ppm
Week 1. 100ppm
Week 2. 200ppm
Week 3. 300ppm
Week 5. 400-450ppm
Week 6. 500-550ppm
Week 7. 550-600ppm
Week 8. 200ppm
Week 9. 0 ppm
This is a good average chart to use for auto's but just know every pheno is different and can handle a little more or a little less.
Hope this helps.

I’d recommend using the EC reading instead of PPM, because there are at least two different scales for conversion of EC to PPM
Because EC is the actual measurement that PPM is being calculated from.
1.0 EC can be 500 PPM or 700 PPM.. depending on the scale used by that company or grower. However - most do use the 500 scale.
As far as a rate of feed.. I have run autos, but don’t anymore because they are finicky as hell at times (among other reasons). BUT I would recommend around 1.0 (500ppm on the 500 scale) as a good medium and up to 1.4-1.6 (700-800ppm on 500 scale )in flower if it appears it can take it. I’ve fed 2.0 in hydro with autos in flower and that was a bit aggressive and gave some toxicities.

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.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

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 wateringI 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.
