Indoor BUDGET DIY GROW; PPM, EC,CF in soil question????????????????????

[light addict]

My grow is DP think Diff in soil, under 600 hps. I have a PH meter and a truncheon nutrient meter. I'm using canna terra vega, then a mix of baby bio + tomatoe feed. then for bloom i'll use tomatoe with mix of liquid rose and liquid orchid feed which has an added flower booster. Instead of PH up or down I'm Using lemon juice to lower and Baking soda/bi carb to highten PH

Guys stupid question alert; I dont know how to use the nutrient meter properly? or i do, but dont know the levels I should be hoping for. I'm on week 3 what ec and ppm should I have?

I use tap water sat in large open res for 24 hours before use, then i measure PH and then add my nuits, then wait ten mins and stir before measure PH again. Then adjust the ph level with the lemon or bi-carb.

What PPM should I have? or EC or CF? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good question I'm also stuck where you're at. Also, I do the exact same process you do lol except with biobizz line of nutrients.. and I use vinegar to drop it How is your think differnt?? I got one too but it's seriously stunted and only about 6 inches tall at 35 days!!

I forgot to add.. i think for soil you only measure TDS and not EC, I could be wrong but tds is what gives the ppm info. I think Ec is for hydro.

Yeah mine seem stunted as well,thick trunk and arms but really crowded with foliage. Someone else on here said same about their td

TDS is how you measure the solid contents in water and EC meters are for hydro growers to monitor the amounts of nutrients in their water solution. They are both fairly similar devices. PH meters are for measuring the PH for both hydro and soil growers.
