Rookie grower so ALL feedback is much appreciated. PPM is 100 and I’m 2 weeks in.

RookieGrowstarted grow question 3y ago

Used spring drinking water for my first transplant into the bucket. My ppm is reading at 100 and ph is 6.2. I’m using fox farm trio for nutes and haven’t used anything but water as of now. Should I get this number up or leave it? If I need to raise it, how do I and not effect ph?

You should be good on nutrition with what is in mix for about another week maybe longer. Then very light nutrition half recommend to start. Wet and dry cycles needed. Adjust ph after nutrition and everything is mixed in. Phosphorus ph down or a ph up as needed.
