whats a good ppm for a young purple alien og plant (capo x alien og)

i was wondering what ppm and nutrient level is good for this strain thats 2 inches tall in hygromite? the plant started from a fem seed

less than 200ppm

it kinda depends on what water you are using too. my tap water is 170 so that would be basically like no nutes at all. i would say 200-600 depending on water.

200ppm or less of nutes is what i meant 2 inch plants really dont need any nutes at all there fully self sustainning until like the 4th leaf set almost 4 inches on most strains. imho.


these are kinda my rules with with my water ppm at 120-150

baby clone/seedling 100-200ppm water and nutes

over 5inches under 8" 300-600ppm total

8"-Flower 900-1200ppm

mid flower 1100ppm

mid end flower 800-500ppm

end flower 500-200ppm

flush 200-0ppm

I mix the filtered water you buy outside of grocery stores for the 5 gallon rinking jugs and mix it with tap water to get around 54-60 ppm. is that too low?With my last seed water I gave it 370 ppm water and is doing good with that, but not sure when to up the ppm.The insight you gave me opened my eyes a bit to what ppm I should go about when my plants get to a certain height.

BTW

I currently have a hydrotank with 4 teens 15-19 inches tall, four 5 inch clones, two 11 inch clones. The water ppm is 806 total, so that would put my plants at about 740 ppm just nutrients. I am doing a G 13 grow, what strains are you growing?

Just to let you know the only water i have avail comes out at 500 ppm, I think thats diluted minerals though and doesn't really count to much, I try not to let them go over 400 above my starting ppm... So If your starting around 60 I would say you have a 100-500 safe tolerance. Mine has hit 1500 on freshly rooted clones with only MILD burn to the tips of old leaves and once corrected dropped to around 1200 and are flourishing. Albeit this is my first chem/hydro grow so it may be a fluke or luck they took it or just strain.

that is intense. I currently have my freshly rooted clones running at 800 ppm water iin the same flood table as my teens. The clones are doing brilliant. I am going to steadily increase the ppm every 7 days. Next week I am planning on doing 900-950

The Alien OG seed has just sprouted its second node. I am going to start a grow journal on her
