Veg and Bloom Grow

Let's stick to EC guys. I think we will all be better off here if we speak the same lingo. If you are using PPM then do the conversion on your end but please keep it EC when you respond.

I know very few growers that talk in EC around these parts personally. We almost all use PPm.
 
just trying to keep it simple and help people succeed here. Please take the time to respond in EC as this is a much better scale considering PPM can be many different conversions of EC. Let's not get lost in translation.
 
Just ordered some of the veg&bloom i hope it works as good as some of you say it does. Im planning on using it in soil is there a certain ratio I should mix it in?
 
I would start at about .7-1 EC or approx. .5-.8 teaspoons per gallon. Soils can vary in how heavy and rich they are. Start with lighter feeds if the soil is heavy and heavier feeds if the soil is sandy or lighter in texture. I would get a 20-30 gallon trashcan and mix it up to my desired EC and just use that.

I use Hannah, so 1000ppm for me would be 2 EC. It does make a big difference.
 
Exactly. So PJ, your 1000ppm would be 1400ppm on Lucius' Truncheon meter etc. Let's end the confusion once and for all.
 
Some more of this lovely picturesque OG. Happy Frog, 1-1.2EC Veg+Bloom, 70 degrees on average, 56 days into flower.

I have a really dumb question but i have to ask. I jus got an EC meter and my tap comes out at .8ec When you all say Ur running at 1.4ec is that on top of your tap? In my case my meter would read 2.2ec with nutes and water? Ive been organics up until now and never needed to know

no, that would be total including your taps.8
this is why r/o is better, you start at 0 and can add all nutes to get to that 1.4ec
 
Well that would mean my girl is between 1.8 and 1.9 ec (1260-1330 ppm) im in soil and she'takin it like a champ...im even thinkin of goin a lil higher after hps gets put in
 
Also im running 15ml a gallon florabloom 0-5-4 so i think my ec maybe a lil higher...i feed her a liter between the two...two cups of each
 
I would be careful when using tap water to increase the amount of "flushes" per cycle. For example, in RO I will run a 1/2 strength solution through my roots every 2 weeks, In tap water you will need to do this every week or possibly every other watering.

So.... if a strain requires 1 EC(in RO) to stay sufficiently fed and your tap is .3 EC then your feed strength will be 1.3 but will require extra flushes to offset that .3EC of "stuff" in your tap water. You still wont get the rapid growth and yield that RO will yield.
