Ok so I'm feeding the fox farm trio and silica and great white. I use tap water with ppm of 126 but after I add the nutes I only end up with ppm of 350-450 that's with 1/2 teaspoon of silica ,3 teaspoons of grow big , two tablespoons of big bloom (bat guano worm casting etc .) But most things I read say plant my size should be getting 1000ppm but what would I do add more grow big until it gets closer to 1000ppm just seems like I would need to almost double. I checked my ppm in distilled water multiple times and I read correctly 0 to 15 ppm. Any help would be great I'm having problems with my plants my soil ph is way low 5.7 ph trying to fix that and figure out this ppm thing.
i want to comment . Your not a organic grower . Only adjust the water ph to about 6.5 . soil and 5.5 hydro. Never need to check soil ph ever again if your not organic . During organic there is a need living matter . Second there are many different ppm readings usa so on? Huge difference .. You should tell us what one your using ? I hate to be a party pooper here with ppm readings. What is your reading if you follow the directions after adding all the nutrietns in the water ? Did you put it all in as the directions say ? To get your ppm readings . For give me its sat night my time to cheat on my drinking .And welcome to grass city
There will be more replies about this . Be patient . I know my meter has two different settings to measure . When i click the switch one will say about 300 click it then bamm 700 so on Suggest taking a pic if the reading so there is no confusion if it says more then just the reading . If not then a pic of the meter . Or model. All meters have different scales . Usually 500 or 700 What are the different conductivity scales? What do they mean? iIt might be frustrating but will get you on track. Im not going to tell you something im not sure of
the fox farm trio requires Tiger bloom thats your P and K if you dont have that yet maybe get some the big bloom is mostly N but be very careful with the tiger bloom try 10 ml per gallon and it really drops the ph i use it with ph up but thats just my advice these other guys are more experienced than me
as far as ppms if you have that cheap blue meter like me i keep the ppms at around 800 to 1000 for feeding
yes he said he is only using bigbloom and grow big never mentioned tiger bloom thats why i commented such
