Okay I realize there are more than a few posts on this, but I don't feel like having to sift through a bunch of bitching because someone won't post their grow pics. Blah, blah blah, your advice isn't worth crap because you have no pics. 10 replies or so later and still no facts, just people going back and forth arguing. Anyways.... here's my story. After filling the reservoir with distilled water and my nutrients, I do a pH and ppm reading. pH is 5.9 and the ppm is 503. My question is this: the 503 ppm reading, is this the "base" if you will, of my nutrient solution? Is this reading the amount I should try to maintain throughout the week 'til my next reservoir change? Also, what is a good ppm to have for your plant? This must be relative to the stage in the plants life I'm assuming, right? I say this because I heard someone saying there solution was at 1000 and that was fine. Any help would be great.
