Is my ppm at the right mark?

  1. My DWC plants have been vegging for 4 weeks now. I have them at 350 ppm. Is that too low? They look healthy but honestly I thought they would be much bigger than they are by now.

    They were at about 6 nodes when I topped them in week 3. Should I amp up the nutes?

    I'm going to start flowering them in week 6 and I want to get some gol clones before then so i switched to the hps so hopefully they grow longer branches but maybe a higher ppm will help

    Thoughts?
     
  2. I'm new and I think that's a little low.

    I started mine at 600, then went up to 800, then a little bit more....


    goodluck!
     
  3. Personally, I start at 350 at week 2 with a 150 weekly increment. I veg them for 5 weeks at which i try to get the ppm to 800ish...then to flower.

    I usually start flowering at 950 and i raise it slightly and see how the plants react to it.
     
  4. I raised it to 500 now. They are pretty strong now i think I can bring it up to 600-800. I'm going to start flowering in two weeks so ill let it stay at 600 for a week then bring it up to 800
     
  5. sounds good mate..good luck!
