An ph perfect ec/ppm

I only have 2 grows under my belt, and that was using Lucas Method for hydro. I'm growing in hydroton Ebb & Grow. On my first 2 grows I learned to watch my ppm and ph meter. I bought Ph Perfect Grow Micro Bloom and the Hobbyist Bundle for my 3rd grow. I know there ads say you don't have to check Ph and PPM, but I probably won't change my reservoir, but about every 2 to 3 weeks, so I wanted to know what my PPM was at half strength, and full strength, just in case something wasn't looking right I would have a place to start looking.
At half mixed with !/2 strength Voodoo Juice and 1/2 B52 I came up 1200 ppm .7 conv. and EC 1.7. That's about where I keep my ppm the whole grow with the Lucas method! At Full strength with Voodoo , and B52 around 1800 ppm 2.6 Ec.
Are most of you that are using the Ph Perfect line up going by the grow charts on AN website? Thanks for any experiences you can share with me.
 
I just follow the directions on the bottle myself but I do back off every now and then so salts don't build up
 
2ml/liter Voodoo= 0 PPM
2ml/liter B-52= 100 PPM
.5 conv
Not sure how you are getting that high EC, have you tested your base water?
 
Are you using RO Water?

I get around 600PPM .5 conver when using at half strength. So that's 2ml a litre on base nutrients an 1ml a litre for the additives.
 
Advanced is on a .5 ec scale but with the ph perfect you really don't need to worry about all that. Mix as directions say obviously with a immature plant clones/ seedlings your not gonna blast full strength in. I do not use ppm meter when I water, I just mix and pour if I see signs of needing to back off I do. It feels weird at first not using meters but it isn't needed. This is just my opinion here but if u do use your ppm meter to water with ph perfect you'll run into more probs than if you don't.
 
Hi,

I don't know if this will help, and I hope I'm not breaking any rules, here is something that is likely to help at least a few people. I created this jpg from a PDF I have from Hydro Dynamics, use this as a guide only, as different nutrients has different feeding amounts.
