my ppm metre has been reading me a reading of 200 and i've been feeding it to my plant thinking it's 200. Today i discovered it's actually 200 x10.. so i've been feeding my first small plant 2k ppm and it's surviving and growing nice! i literelly just made a res up of the 2k ppm and am to scared to use it now after discovering that.. but if my plant has been taking it for 2 weeks now with no sign of defiency will it be ok to use or not? need an urgent asap reply.

How old is the plant and what strain? These are important factors.You would definitely see some problems after 2 weeks. You should see burn in days if you are overfeeding. Thats just my thoughts. Don't take them as gospel as I've never ran ran hydro but I have read a ton about it. Someone else would be much more qualified. Just relax and wait for a more experienced user to answer. I'm telling you for certain, you have nothing to fear if they have been running this way for 2 weeks and still look good.

2000 ppm would kill a young plant are you 100% thats what youve been feeding them .people only push to around 1200 -- 1400ppm in really late flower stages sometimes even less

I understand 2000 ppm would kill it, it's about 6 weeks old and is still vegging i'm planning on putting her into flower in 2 weeks.

It's an indica strain and a really compact healthy looking plant. i know 100% it's 2k i originally thought it was 200........ Then i found out my tap water is 350 ppm and the res is 219 and in the corner it says x10 i only noticed this today. So really in nutes it's about 1900 but still there's no way it should of survived, maybe my ppm metre is off although it's new and only been used about 4 times.

i would flush thorugh with just ph'd water just incase mate you dont want problems to start showing up and then in a few days start back with the nutes at a low dose and build it up over time

Heh to late, i'll check her tomorrow morning. Man if you could see her she looks amazingly healthy like personally i reckon she looks better than half the plants i've seen on here (The ones still vegging)..I'm just going to look at it as she's on steroids for a few weeks i'll drop her down next time though ;)
