i dont know your nutes but that is way high for dwc, and if not burning the plants it is a waste of nutes. i never go above 600-650ppm in dwc.
I am growing in dwc buckets and am two weeks into flower
i usally change bucket every 5-7 days with clean water and fresh nutes then just adjust ph through out the week till the next water change
how ever i have a ppm meter now as i was told i was wasting nutrients and it would benefit me loads
To own one so if i start with my bucket of just water add my base nutrients ( vitalink max bloom a + b) then 30 ml of canna boost and 30 ml of cannazym and my my ppm is 1468 then next day it is 1200 do i add a mix of my base nutrients and cannazym and boost or just base nutrients
Thanks

???Really because i have read on here that anythink up to 1600 was fine but some plants can handle over 2000
When i add nutes using the instructions on the back of the bottels and it is 1468 to start ?? The plants dont look like they are burning nice and green and healthy no curling or tip bun?? Would only giving them 650 ppm not seriously affect yeild or be underfeeding?

almost everyone will tell you to never start with full recipe on bottle. start at half and work up.it is much easier to add if needed. i have done many test over a shitload of harvests from 500-3000ppm and found my sweet spot for veg in aero to be 700 and in flower i never exceed 1000 in aero and 650 in dwc. sweet spot meaning that my ppm barely changes(10-30ppm) over a three week 50gal res. i will have 30-40 gallons sucked out and still stays consistant. my average yield was also best at this range and nearly 17% more than at 1600. i never have def or ph issues and in fact i spend so little time with them now i go 3-4 days without going in the flower room. it just takes time to learn the system and what you are working with. just because a plant may not show issues doesnt mean it couldnt be better.

I started at 3 quaters then next change full nutes the one plant is a very big bush and none of them have showed any stress from it i have always done it this way besides from that could u help me with wether i should add just base nutes or addatives aswell when i top up
Appreciate the advice jus a little confused??
If i started at half what the bottle said my ppm would be around 790 so evan that is higher than what you are saying so i must give my plant less than half stregnth nutes through out the grow?
half is a good starting point. my nutes are different brand.
?? Ur confusing? Do u have any help with my original question
When ur ppm is high u add water, when ur ppm drops you add nutes base on what they consumed. So example if your plants drinkin 2 litters a day u mix two litters of nutes to bring back the ppm.
