Does ppm have anything to dO with ph? How would I adjust ppm?
from what i have read in several forums, 400ppm for veglings, slowly work it up to the 600-800ppm range mid veg (maybe 3-4 weeks in) then maxing out around 1200ppm during the peak of flower. toward the end of flower you want to bring the ppm way down and use more of a flushing agent. if you use the measurements you could be flirting with some serious burn. some plants can handle it, most can't.. less=more with nutes. better to be a bit short than to burn the heck outta your babies.
ppm is determined by the nutes/minerals in the water.. adding 1 tsp of a veg nute in a gallon of water will put the ppm at say 300. add 2 tsp in a gallon of water it will go to 500-600.. it is basically just a measure of what is in the water..
