I like 1500 PPM

[Jimdamick]

I don't know about all you wussys out there, but I LOVE high nutrient levels.
I grow my seedlings at 700 for the 1st 2 weeks, and then increase to 1000 at week 3, and then when I flip go to 1200 and at week 6 they will be at 1400 and at week 8 will be at 1500 until finish.
I grow in an RDWC with Rockwool as a starter base and then transfer to Hydroton, and have never cooked a plant, but I do get HUGE bud.

Anyone else grow at these levels, or am I just weird?

Here are my 6 week plants at 1400 PPM

I feed as hard as I can. Some strains can handle it more than others.

Your running the Russian synthetic nute line by kushner Nutrients. You might fool the rest of them but not me [/QUOTE]

I found that 95% of my plants can handle it, it's like only White Widow struggles with it, but as long as the rest of the plants are ok, that's what counts to me.
I just don't grow WW anymore.

What do you feed at?

My glue maxes out at 1350. My Kandy Kush takes up to 1450. Strongest I have ever went was 1600 with a strain called Shiva, she was a beast. Wish I still had those genetics.

I like 1.5 EC. My plants usually don't though. High altitude syndrome.

Been running technaflora for 5+yrs now.

FN LOVE IT
1480ppm in flowrr all day long.


Heres a $ saving tip

Swap out sugar daddy for botanicare sweet raw. Its 20/gal cheaper, plus you only use half as much, and a better additive/ product

I've used every nute out there at one time or another, especially when I was a rookie and wasted thousands of dollars on finding the perfect food that will help me to grow magical bud.
Man was I stupid (and a lot poorer).
I stumbled on Technaflora BC and Awesome Blossoms which are the only products I use now because they work and are a good price.
I use the Grow/Boost/Bloom and then during flower I add Awesome Blossoms which is 2-11-8, and really works well for flower/bud development.
Most of the nutes out there now it seems to me are basically snake oil, like especially AN products, like 1/2 of their products are pure shite (Bud Candy?)
But remember this, the plant doesn't give a fuck who made their nutes, as long as the ratio is correct.
NPK is all that counts in the end

Not that crazy mate, 1500 is not that high, I have many years ago with a White Widow been close to 2000, and just like you I drive my seedlings some what hard, at 22 days today I am at 1100 and moving upwards, mind you with 6 different strains, as others also mention, it can be tricky, some like it high, some dont.

As an old grower once told me, hopefully not lost in translation, "Love and springwater or Honesty and wastewater"...

Yea, all sounded cool, but I lost it at the waste water point.
