thanks for your help, new here and still trying to find my feet on this forum. I have been leaving the soil to dry a little don't want to get root rot or anything. yes im sure the soil has a little nutes in it, its the same brand as my nutes and I followed the guide. thinking of changing the...

ill give it a go cheers DC. yes im using soil, had the same problem with different strains for a while. so less nutes to hold at 600ppm? I have tried nute - leave - just water - leave and repeat without the 1/2 cup method. steve

just tested my ppm (week 5 flower grow) tap water ppm= 310 ph = 7.8 added bloom nute 2m/ltr ppm = 554 ph = 7.0 added bud booster 2ml/ltr ppm = 720 ph = 6.5 still getting nutrient burn, please help! steve'o

Yes looking at the filter myself. My ph from the tap is 7.4 using nutes brings it to 6.8 then a little lemon juice to get it at 6.5. Currently I add 2ml/ltr base nute and 1ml/ltr bud boosting nute and still getting nute burn. My tds meter will be here tomorrow so ill check my ppm. Might change...
