Hello fellow RIU members...
I have read that the ideal PPM levels for seedlings are 100-250.....
does that only account for N-P-K nutrients? or is that TOTAL PPM?
i have 0PPM RO water, meaning that i should add some CalMag...
so my best looking seedling (23 days) which seems to be in the early stages of vegetative growth.. i gave her about 1/10 strength of the NPK Boost and Grow dose which is about 120PPM (according to technaflora), i then added about full strength of GH's CalMag supplement (13mls to 4 gallons of H2O, full dose would have been 16ml) and half strength of SugarDaddy (7ml)
the total PPM of the solution was about 350-360 PPM after, but the breakdown was like this:
WATER: 0PPM
NPK (Boost Grow) : ~120 PPM
CaliMagic + SugarDaddy: ~ 140 PPM
SugarDaddy: 1.6% Mag, 1.7% Sulfur no NPK.
CaliMagic: 1%N, 5% Ca, 1.5% Mg
i looked today and her second set of leaves seems to be BURNED! FML... what am i doing wrong?
i drained some water from the bucket and added about 1.5 gallons of fresh RO water... that dropped the PPM to about 250 which i hope is a better range........ thanks in advance for the help
