what does it mean if PPM doesn't change over a 2 day period?? please...

Is the water level going down? Maybe they are taking in an equal amount of mutes/water.

No..not going down...ph is 5.5...
using technoflora...
Bluelab ppm pen..
18 gallon tote DWC
AND LEAVES CURLING UPWARD

Have you tried taking the ppm down and when I did hydro my shit worked best at 5.8ph

Sounds like maybe over fert.

no..i haven't..thanks..
plants about 23 days old
I use technaflora....started at about 50% strength
OH..and I just sent off yesterday for PH up...i won't do the baking soda..(not knocking it though)

so do u mean to empty out some of the water and replace with plain water? I use RO..ppm 0

Just took your advice..thanks..removed a few gallons and added a few plain RO..dropped ppm to 540..but PH still 5.5.

so how is the EC supposed to play in this?

does this mean my plants aren't taking in nutes? I get mixed up even with the equipment..
Any help is appreciated..

Has the water level gone down over those two days? Not the PH, but the actual amount of water in the bucket, is the plant drinking any water?

leaves curling up is too much heat.
when water level goes down and nutes stay the same it is good.
when level goes down and ppm goes up it is too much nutes.

Thanks! Much thanks..freakin eyeballs hurt from reading so much.
