Hey @420autoflower , I have a 335 ppm from the well. Anything I can do to lower it? What is a good number to be at or below?


Thanks!!!

Hey Darren!
I don’t think there’s anything you can do to lower the ppm except to run your well water through a simple R/O device.
I’m curious to see what your ppm is after you add your normal amount of nutrients in.

I use a countertop R/O unit that I can move around the house and hook up to any faucet or even a hose bib. The water coming out is right around 15 ppm and that gives me a lot to work with and no risk of over fertilization.

Just tested at 435 ppm....wow

So you started with your well water at 335 ppm then added your normal amount of nutrients and it only raised it 100 ppm?

That's what the pen read. Am I just not giving enough nutes?

So you added the per gallon recommended dosage of your Fox Farm Trio to a gallon of your well water and it went from 335 to 435?

 

[DetroitDarren]

Half of the recommended dosage, so like instead of 2-3 teaspoons I go with like 2 or a little under.
