    Typical Runoff PPM/PH (Coco)

    I have been feeding very aggressively with House & Garden Cocos base nutrients as high as 2.00 EC every day once a day for the last 6 weeks. Plants are looking great until they got hit with Top Booster which usually tears the leaves up a bit.. Even though I tapered into it.. Normally my runoff...

    Hydroponics and tap water?

    So I’m running a 30 gallon rdwc system and I was wondering if my tap water would be okay to use? It has a ppm of 197 and EC of 395 which I’ve heard isn’t so terrible. The only problem is I know for a fact my hard city water contains small amounts of fluoride and of course chlorine/chloramine...

    PPM

    Hey guys, I just read PPM is important to nutrients plants. My Amnesia Haze is currently on 8th week flowering in a 6 gallon pot in coco x perlite. I tested the runoff for PPM, it came out at 450PPM. As I read, that reading is too low. I should be having at least 1000 PPM, is that true? If so...

    Hard water area who’s got a good way of dealing with it?

    Hi so my tap water is 400ppm I’ve been using a zero water filter to bring down my ppm to 200 but the ph of the zero water is 2.4, this completely throws my ph off so I’m finding myself using a load of ph up Which then throws off my ideal ppm. Any suggestions? When I first got the filter I never...

Or do I add 250 ppm on top of what's already in the tap water? For example, if my tap water is around 120ppm by itself would I add...
