Low PPM and awesome growth? Very low

Growth is going well for my second run and everything is beautiful. Seems dialed in and staying on top of it!

But my question is (using the .7 scale) the ppm's are 250ish and I cant go higher without running into issues. I just want to know that as long as the plant is happy then my yield won't be diminished because ppm's were low. The plant wants it there apparently but I'm still concerned as I'd like my hard work to payoff. They are going into flower within the week. Opinions and help please?

You said something i rarely hear said on this forum , especially from a newer grower , when you said & i quote ( The plants want it there ) it shows me you've learned to watch how your plants respond to changes , knowing & underatanding the signs of a happy n healthy plant is worth a thousand forum responses .

Dont change shit for now , wait till the girls are a couple weeks into bud & bump up the ppm''s at that time by 100 ppm a week & see what happens, then adjjst according to how your plants respond .

Just keep in mind there is no magic number on ppm , ive ran strains where 700 is the max & 750 will roast the plants , ive ran other strains that thrive at nearly 2,000 ppm .

Strain , room temps , water temps & overall room conditions , light supply & fresh air intake can alter where your plants are happy at as much as ec or ppm .

I started them in a DWC together before separating them to their individual bins. But they stay very close to each other in respect to ppm's.

Thanks for the kind response panhead. My last/1st go around the plants completely fried from a too low RH and a much higher ppm. Learned also that I needed to adjust the ppm per the environment like you said....

Veg environment is between 75-85 degrees and RH does fluctuate a bit from 50-70%

Most people say the 2 strains like a higher ppm/ec.

If your plants are happy were they are leave them the truth is 90% of growers includes my self probly use more nutes then. Needed I'm currently trying to back off the nutes now I ran 650ish this hole last grow and I got some big fat buds .
