This is my first dwc season, and I'm in the 4th week of flowering, buds are a little small but looks healthy, My question is I'm having a hard time keeping my ppm's up, reading's are ppm 688..... ec2110 with ph around 5.6, I've giving the ladies a little more nute's i'm using jungle juice for the first time, added 2.5ml of bloom. readings went up a little,ph 5.8 ppm 851 ec 2450, but ec is to high by what I'm reading on some of the feeding charts, if anyone could help with some insight thanks.

Sounds good, any pics? Don't go by what charts or manufacturers tell you, go by your plants. By the 4th week of flowering you will start seeing the plant using more nutes and water naturally.

Yeah don't go off feeding charts pal, read what the plants want, if the water levels go down but the notes stay same then you don't need to do anything, if nute level drops and water ain't moving to much there hungry, make sense?

Wow,surprised no one caught this.

Your EC and PPM are way way waaaaaay off.

PPM is a conversion of EC and the three conversion points are .5 .64 and .7 ie;

1.0 EC = 500 PPM @ .5 conversion

1.0 EC = 640 PPM @ .64 conversion

1.0 EC = 700 PPM @ .7 conversion

There is no possible way to have a PPM of about 700 and an EC of 2110,no way!

Either your EC meter is way uncalibrated or your PPM meter is way uncalibrated.Either way you don't need both,but you need to get them calibrated...
