so,this is my first growth with nutes.i am growing in worm castings.i bought advanced hydro grow and bloom.
do i have to adjust the PH of the water after i add the nutes or before that ?or i dont need nutes since i use PH+ and PH- for the water balance ?is ph and ppm same thing ?
if there is anyone who can enlighten me on this subject?
[h=3]and yeah i red the articles about 101 asked questions,but i`m confused.ty in advance[/h]and if this gets deleted please send me a pm
 
Hey Kensou, It's pretty simple man, hope this helps the confusion;

Watering For Soil Mixtures:
1. Grab a gallon of water
2. Mix your nutrients into the water: add only the "Grow" Nutrients to your plants that are in the Vegetative state and add only "Bloom" nutrients to those that are Flowering.
3. Use a Ph meter to find the Ph of the Water.
4. Use your PH+ PH- to adjust the Ph of the water until your meter reads around 6.8
5. Water those plants and watch em' grow.

Just follow the instructions on the back of the nutrient bottle to find out how much nutrients you need to mix in per/gallon.

To answer your other question pH stands for Potentional Hydrogen (A measure of acid/alkaline). PPM stands for Parts-Per-Million which is getting more into hydroponic growing, so while they can affect each other they are not the same thing.
 
And the soil will adjust that value to what ever the pH value of the soil is. THAT is your necessary reading, the pH of the soil. Surely you are using an EWC/Soil mix, not just straight EWC.
