PPM

Hey guys, I’m new to PPM.
I’m currently on my 8th week of flowering for Amnesia Haze.
Buds are still quite small. (About 1cm big)

I tested the PPM of my nute feed, I’m getting only about 380. I also tested the drip off after feeding and it came to 400+ PPM.
I read during late flowering, I should be feeding at 1100 PPM.

I have read, to increase PPM, I would have to add more nutrients into my feed. But I’m following a feed schedule. Just wondering if I should follow the schedule and continue feeding low PPM or add nutrients to correct PPM? Would adding too much nutrients kill my plants?

Thanks in advance for the advices!

Its all about the PPM and PH.
Add as much nuits you need to reach the required PPM then PH it.

Too high PPM can hurt plants and kill them over time.

Too low PPM will limit growth and harvest.

Feed charts are only useful for % of different nuits, PPM and PH is the most important.

plants look healthy, but we want fat buds not leaves,so id start upping the ec try 1.8 for a week then 2.0 then 2.2 if you see leaf tip burn with clawing back it off a little 2.1 or 2.0.
If not stay at 2.2 or even go higher if your game.

You should be feeding 380 at the start of feeding. For real.

Dates dont matter, guy offers u no advice on growing then casts doubt on what I gave you.
He says it confusing, for him maybe.
So he decides to pass that confusion onto you.
I only give advise on what im doing/done myself, not what i heard, read or someone told me.
Currently have 2 crops in flower, One @ 5 weeks the other @ 1 week Im at ec around 2.1 thats 1400ppm.
My advice is current of today.

How about ph. I was at around 5.7.
Now @ 6.2 last 2 weeks, Ive seen a lot of bud growth for about 10 days now so fingers crossed they continue until the end.
I will put up a pic if I can motivate myself
