    Can anyone help I just purchased a ppm meter and cant grasp it when taken reading from my nute mix. Anyone got the patience to teach me even the basics I've tried videos on youtube and now more confused please someone idiot proof it for me hahaha. I got a reading of 023 from plain watering and then mixed my nutes a low dosage to the water and now my reading now says 347 is this safe to use I'm just going into 5 weeks of flower

  2. Post a pic of the full plant and what media you're using mate.
    If it's coco I'll be able to tell you the magic number. If it's soil someone else be able to.
    Need to see what size the plant is though.
     
  3. Often its called a TDS meter Total Density Meter - getting the name right is just the beginning ...lol

    insert probe into poo mix read off numbers

    don't insert too far as you will screw the bits in side

    same with cleaning dip careful in clean water

    leave in the sun to dry turned off (note that last bit)

    023 minus 347 is the amount of shit in your nutes =324 ppm's

    good luck

  10. Thanks I've had trouble with 3 others in the garden so thought I would start keeping a eye on what goes in rather going by the feed chart as it's just a guide so I've been told. Thanks everyone for your help

  11. buo bizz is great stuff. Check out my last journal and you’ll see I use it all pretty much.
    It’s always a guide because it depends how big your plants are.

    this is a good guide. If you count week 3 as week 1 of flower and go from there. I grow big plants and never needed go above max dose.

    But with this stuff you shouldnt need to know ppms or ph. I don’t know your problem so you know what your useing it for.
    I tested the other day just for fun see what my water is

    Remember to treat biobizz as organics and your good to go

  12. Thanks for the info my problem is I've always under used the nutes due to fear of hurting my babys so I bought a ppm just to check what's going in and running off bottom of the plant are yellowing and starting to climb up turning the bottom yellow and then dying off
