hi
is it normal for my runoff ppm to be around 1200 and my ppm going in is about 650...also my ph going in is around 6.0 and the runoff ph is around 4.6....I’m trying to avoid a lockout so I’m feeding half strength....
i flush after every 3rd feeding..
On my grow I expect a 1-1.5 pH drop on run off, that seems normal to me. Your ppm coming out double the intake, are you testing initial run off or the tail end of run off. I catch the last little bit because the initial is usually high.
The initial run off thats a good point tho I’ll check the last drips
Are you in soil or coco coir? How old is the plant? Yes the PPM going in + PPM already in the medium = runoff PPM higher than what's going in
I’m in soil and my plants are about 39 days in flower...So Ive been hearing different things about what the ph levels should be In soil. My nutrient chart says ph should be between 5.8-6.3 is there a sweet spot no matter what brand of nutrients your using?
@moserg1170 Ok so 1200 runoff PPM is within the ideal range for that period of flowering. Most growers seem to say 6.5 pH is the sweet spot when growing in soil. I stay between 6.0-7.0 and usually aim for 6.5 How does the plant look? Any deficiencies? Any pics?
