Just Wondering What My PPM Should Be?

depends on what ur temp is(higher ppm of co2 allows higher temp but u need more water)... optimal i believe is around 1200 to 1500. outside should be 300 i usually keep mine around 700 with a co2 cultivator bag

I'm using general hydroponics floranova series. I would think they would be diffrent do to the fact that this is a single part system and organic plus i dont think you are suppose to use whats always projected on the label

Just read the plants they will tell you when they are over or under fed. I am trying to pin down the correct PH for mine as well and am learning fast about how different it can be strain to strain. my GDP is taking higher ppm than my Bluedream and my deadhead looks right in between the too heh. I went with the basic rule of thumb of 1/4 strength of what is stated on the feeding schedule and go up from there as long as they look happy.

lol honestly this has been easy as hell to be quite honest and i typoed and fixed it just wasnt in time lol no i dont want algae thats why i put tin foil over my drip system and it reflects minor light to the plant which is a plus
