How big is your plant? If it has 6-8 nodes your ppm should be 600-800
In between plants at the moment. I didnât check ph or ppm last grow and it came out ok. While sprout is thinking about breaking surface on this one trying to read up on things I ignored last time. So ppm tells you about the nutrients/minerals in the water? 32 out of the tap. I guess I can test the run off of a pepper plant I have in same soil mix. Tryin to use as little supplements as possible without affecting yield of course
Ran water through and ppm 667
Thatâs good if its healthy Use that in reference to your little ones, and ppm is parts per million

The PPM of your runoff will change with every watering and feeding. The water is always eroding away nutrients, adding to the TDS of your runoff. Your water PPM was 32, and runoff PPM was 667, then you washed out 635 PPM of TDS from your soil. Do it again, and your PPM should be lower for that runoff. Add nutrients, itâll go back up.

Week 4
So i havent updated in awhile because i have been busy. I have made some changes to the grow room and always changing something. Built a table to get the plants off the ground cuz my back is too tired to get down on the ground to check phs and remove R.O.plus i can see the girls better and tell the daily changes. I .dint think ahead that i would have to rearrange everything and lift the light alot.im building an irrigation system so i can water without transporting heavy ass shoulder- pullin neck- tweaking , buckets across the yard. I just turn a valve and the reservoirs fill up.i will have one reservoir for fresh clean water that i can ph and the second tank is for mixing nutes .2 separate hoses .Here are the plants from a couple days ago before i got my head all tied up going to parts stores trying trying to think of the cheapest way to build this . Its been a headache but will be worth it when i dont have to carry buckets over and over which also draws attention from the neighbors who have a deck and can see into the back yard.

Ima go look now thanks man
Very welcome mate
So after driving myself crazy thinkin of a watering system and going to parts stores lookin thru all the parts for literally an hour a couple time and returning parts and figuring thinga out i finally built it and then quickly realized how NOT stealth this was lol in fact down right silly since i have neighbors on both sides and one has a deck so he can see over my fence slightly. No wonder i always get caught DAMN IT So mind !@#$ed i just sat there starring at it for an hour with no answer except it obviously wont work intil i live where i have privacy. So now plan B i just 2 5 gal buckets and put a sump pump in it with a controlable nozzle on it to water the plants .

I repotted the âBitchâ into a smaller pot and used half of her dirt to add to âFattysââ pot cus i noticed she was planted low in the pot and she needed more root room. And âThe Bitchâ -had way to big of a pot so she went into a smaller pot. She was in a big pot because she was outside i am broke and work is slow so im not spending anything else on this grow unless its important and i know there will be more cost im just cutting corners where i can.here are befire and after. I was scared lifting Fatty out her pot.,i dont wanna !@#$ up at this point.

Fed them today- 5 fl oz of grow booster in 3 gallons of water and that was 600 ppm. I had ppm at 600 last feeding and i have herd to increase by 200 ppm at each feeding.so i added some Ff grow big .it said one or 2 tsp per gal. I had 3 gal of water so i added 1 tsp per gal= 3 tsp. I checked ppm and it registered at 180 ppm??? So i said how is thatâŚit was at 600ppm before i added Grow BigâŚSOooo⌠i was like is it broke? Did the grow big make the Grow booster inert ??? I didnt believe that. What i believed the meter went over its range and was in the 1000âs so on that gut feeling i added a gallon of fresh water to it and checked it and it was at 893 ppm.so i added more water and got it down to 689 and went with that. Now im realizing as i typed that i did not RE-ph the water that i added at the end to dilute the nutes.POOP! I thouht i escaped without screwing up,now im gonna be back and forth checking them gettin an ulcer that they will be withered or drooping when i open the door.i already open the door slowly and pause then slowly with one eye i turn and look with hope they are ok. So now that will be escolated until they perk up from the shock im sure i caused today

Oh did anyone notice the hydrometer is at 74% humidity and 94. Sucks man damn mid south! I had a 5 gal bucket of water under the grow room table and im thinkin that added alot of humidity so i removed the bucket of water and hope it brings it down to a more comfortable level for the ladies. I hear around 46% is the target zone and around 74 F that part i wont be able to bring down much. http://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=A2KLqIUonYVXXUoACZO4mWRH;_ylu=X3oDMTBzcTlnazAzBHNlYwNjZC1hdHRyBHNsawNzb3VyY2UEdnRpZAM-/RV=2/RE=1468403113/RO=10/RU=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DwYCpWblDKok/RK=0/RS=8X01qjmlFh0eIYwJmfHYhnrKF.I-
âI hear around 46% is the target zone and around 74 F that part i wont be able to bring down much.â
40-50% humidity is what you want In the end of flowering, any stage of vegitative growth 50-75% humidity wonât hurt them just make sure you have great ventilation. If you have great ventilation youâll see outstanding growth
This might be able to help you out and make humidity and temps a little more clear for grow stages
