Parts per million =ppm ... In hydro in order to correctly read how much nutrients you are using you measure with a ppm meter ( TDS or EC ). also you will need a ph meter to test water/nutrients mix to assure ph is at the right ph level ( 5.2-6.5 with 5.8 being optimal ). I would suggest you read more about Hydro and equipment needed before starting your project.

yeah i have started to do research on hydro growing, ive been doing soil 4 a while so i thought id give hydro a try, i know about ph with regards to hydro growing, but was confused about ppm wasnt sure if it was the same as EC, will read up more about ppm what else would you say is a key factor to understand before starting hydro growing?

doing hydro you need a PH meter( to check ph level) and a TDS or EC meter which will give you your ppm.I don't like to convert so I use a Hanna TDS meter vs a EC meter.. TDS does the conversion for me and tells me the ppm.. example would be if I added about 7.5 mil ( 1 1/2 tsp.) of florabloom nutes to a gallon of water and then tested the water with my TDS meter it woud give me a reading of about 1100ppm. I would then check my ph and that should be about 5.5-5.8 ph level. Letting me know that I'm good to feed my plants ( depending on if thats what my plants needed ). Not having them is like driving blind.

You do have to check it everyday..and add water/nute...also depends on if you doing scrog, tempeture ( high temps will make the plant use more water )..not like dirt were you can water and walk away for 3 days ...lol

How often do you run system? 24/7 or varying? I tried 24/7 and drowned some clones. I have 'high' hopes for this system but need to get the timing thing down or else....

two years later and still the post is legend, hands on the best waterfarm grow I have seen in a while though there was a super lemon haze grow that was epic too this is the best how to in a nut shell you can get for the 'Farm. Did a g13 PE w a 400 wt right next to a buddha cheese both WF. About 5 - 6 zips of G13 plant 3.5 B Cheese first time out of the gate. One stunned newbie lol. personal use shared w close friends lasted for a long time. Yeah follow the basic set up and reap the rewards.
