Confused with PPM and PH

Hello

My plant is having nutrient issues and I am going to begin feeding Fox Farm nutrients to it on the next water. I am having trouble understanding the ranges that these numbers should be in. I have recently transplanted and after the transplant is when i started running into issues with nutrients. The bottom leafs are turning yellow and burning and some leafs are showing phosphorus deficiency. After watering with nutrients and everything what should my PH be at? And what should my PPM reading be in my nutrient water? I am in about my 4th week and Im using Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil. If anyone has experience with this please help!

Ocean forest should give your plants all the food they need for 6 weeks. Don't over do it. I understand the desire to feed them but it won't do any good if they're not hungry. When your plants are ready to eat keep pH between 6 and 7. Don't worry too much about ppm, just start at 1/4 to 1/2 strength then increase as needed.

I recommed you to use organic worm castings, they will never burn your plants.... Flush your plant and use worm castings only... You can make your own fertilizer at home :-)

For flowering, you can use organic fertilizers with high potassium, but it is not a must, worm casting will be enough most of the time....
