**crickitmd** · 07-19-2007, 10:07 PM

just picked up a digital ppm meter. how do you guys go about it? is there a chart i should be following when i put my soup together? how do i put it to use? thanks

the PPM will depend on the type of nutes used and the stage of growth. without knowing those 2 things there is no way to tell you exactly what youre wanting to know.,,, sorry

Yeah with fox farm you need all 3 bottles you only have 2 of the needed 3 your missing Big bloom Tiger is a transitional stress relivere that promotes flower sites but you need big bloom for full flower.They have a chart that goes week by week for either hydro or soil it lists ppm and ec per stage and how much of each bottle to mix in.

i use flora nova series and right on the back it has ml/g of nutes for 1/4,1/2,3/4 and full strength and right after that it tells you the ppm for each stage. but which ppm meter should i get? im not looking to spend over 30$

thanks for the replys fellas. yup im gonna take your advice and go buy me some foxfarm big bloom.

on the foxfarm feeding schedule for soil it doesnt say what the ppm level should be at. should i just do the hydroponic ppm levels? even though im using soil?

hydrokush the ppm meter i got cost me 12.29.

criket you do know that pen wont work correct? That pen only reads up to 999 ppm and most nutes will need to be able to read up to 2000 so you kinda wasted ya money as water at home starts at 200-400 pp, meaning you can only monitor 500 ppm which is only good for new cuttings.Good try though
