Hydro PPM - EC - TDS

Discussion in 'First Time Marijuana Growers' started by 05niban, Aug 10, 2015.

  1. Growing in a Super Closet Deluxe 3.0 with KIND LED L450. I'm day 15 in the Flowering stage with 12/12 lights. I am changing the reservoir weekly. My water (12 Gallons) is 80 TDS before adding (Technaflora) nutrients. Post Nutrients TDS is reading 1300 and the EC is 2.6 and 1800 PPM. I am concerned about the TDS and PPM - seems high. I'm using the Blue Lab Guardian Monitor . I am not using a Reverse Osmosis system. Interestingly, the plants look great with no visible issues above or below - excellent root development. Any thoughts, opinions, suggestions are welcomed [​IMG]

  2. hey niban
    do you have a photo? If I am understanding correctly your ppm seems high, but is your water reading 80 ppm out of the tap or am I confusing something? If it all looks good than so are you, first sign of too high nutes is brown leaf tips.
     
  3. Thank you, peirman7. all is good again. i flushed the system today, added neutralized H20 and the appropriate nutrients and so far the numbers look good. the plants are beautiful and there are absolutely NO signs of problems, with the exception of a few fan leaves that fell victim to a little burn from touching the lights - lesson learned: should have switched to the flowering stage about 1 week sooner [​IMG]
