Coming along smoothly!

Just mixed my week 3 - mid/late veg nutes that will be going in today. About 22-24 days old now! Pics coming soon. The soup after everything was added came out to about 1200 ppm, up from the current 60% strength mix of 900 PPM. Think thats a safe feed? @Mañ'O'Green or should I dilute it?

What is your starting water PPMs? Without starting water I would think ~800 PPMs is as high as I would go.

Starting PPM is 90-100 PPM, After Nutes, hydroguard, and PH Down the new mix reads 1205 PPM. I used your spreadsheet @ 70% week 3 with full lineup of nutes. The past week they handled 900PPM with no adverse effects.

Well that is a bit high in my opinion so watch for tip burn.

Okay thanks, if I notice tip burn, dilute the mix with water or remove the mix and flush with clean water?

Just bring down the PPMs with PHed water. The tip burn will show up in a day or two at most if not you are good to go. This is how I find the upper limit of what a plant likes.

Awesome thanks for the info, I was hoping that I would be able to gradually up the PPM but the mix somehow jumped an extra 200 ppm than I had planned. Well see how it goes!

I had huge issues with PPM with my Dirty Water style of growing. So I ditched the pen( nice Hanna back in storage). When running bennies in the mix I was never sure what was really usable nutrients in the pots. I tried on my consecutive grows to keep the top up bucket bubbling and the PPM stable so I knew the amount added of fresh nutrients to the pots but not sure that got me anywhere. I knew the amount added had xxx ppm but what that did to the mix or how fast the plant was using them I have no idea.
I have the same plants about a week ahead or so. I think I’ve only given them the initial teaspoon of MC1 as initial bucket charge and a few days ago I dumped another heaping teaspoon in. Also at that time I added my bennies and some sugar.

Looks like you got things well in hand. Keep up the good work. Just sharing as I go, I’ve never had the good fortune to watch another exact same strain and medium grow while I’m growing, excited. My first Mephisto also. Structure is a lot different than I’m used to. These seem to really want to force that Christmas tree shape.

I will be starting LST once they grow to about a foot, probably later this week with some soft ties and eventually a bungee trellace. Going to make a "helix" type shape with my four plants. Best of luck with your grow! Ill upload photos in an hour or two after HW
