LOOOOOW ppm out. . Is it ok?

[canadreas69]

Super new to this

Looking good?

So, about 700ppm in and 300out.

Read it should be in 100 to 300 above and be aware if above 300.

Read that below is no prob, it should adjust.

Been low and getting lower for 2 weeks, been adjusting ppm up from 550 to 700.

Should I go higher when da babys look so good?

I want to understand this. I dont want to waste nutrients and risk burn to get the ppm in place.

Anyone?

Just to be clear, this is in coco? How often are you feeding?

I personally know when I reach their mark by leaf tip burn,lol. All the tips get burn but no further, next water very low ppm to give a break, don't want to overkill.

Coco perlite 70 30 plagron nutes feeding 1time pr day with runnoff

So you mean i should raise ppm until leaf tip burn?
Why not try to keep it at the low end of the scale to save nutes?

No I'm not saying that at all, this is just my way, it doesn't work for everyone. Just how I've always grown. There are many ways to do things, some would say my way is wrong. It just works for me is all, build your own style, underfeeding is a way all in itself, lots of growers underfeed and do awesome, find what works for you. I usually don't have runoff either. So I feed low ppm ever once in while.

Rather than go to a higher ppm, which you might not need at this stage of growth, I would consider upping the feed to twice per day, that should do it.

How much runoff are you getting? Sounds like not enough.

Mmmm been considering it. They need 3.5l each errday now. But when working full at daytime its hard to get time to do it. Dont want to go automatic yet as its my first grow....

Aaah ok...havent measured exact liters runnoff but ive been giving plenty....and getting plenty runnoff.

You must have the hungriest plants in the world.

Hahahah seems so doesnt it? Been giving 30l everyday to 8 grrls in 40l fabrics.

Before transplant, in 3l fabrics, i got about 600-650 when feeding 500-550.

When feeding 550 in 40l fabrics i got like 350 for a while....then i upped to 700....got the same. Now 2 weeks later...got 300 today...

My opinion is that your lights are too close. You need some thinning out(defol) and yes bump your PH up 0.2 or so. Look healthy if corrected soon. Just trying to hard too fast thing. A foliar spray of 1/4 tsp epsoms salt to 1 qt water one time will help till the changes kick in. Looking like you have read fairly well.

Best wishes.

Peace.

Plants are hungry or medium is holding salts due to over drying.

My man MICHI. My humidifier had stopped completely. The room/dem babies is making enough by themselves. This is a sign they be drinking right? So maby ur right...maby i have to step it up to 2 times pr day. But....wtf.. i cant fo that for 3 months ...

And im already in my final containers/pots at 40 liters

But!!! If they are drinking to fast. .wouldnt my ppm be higher out then in????????

There's your answer.

I went through a couple of weeks of it after re potting 5/6 weeks ago its not the 1st time I've has it, it's always corrected itself back to the normal higher ec run off.

If looks OK I wouldn't touch it.
