After adding nutrients ph is good ppm is too low

Troubleshooting

So after adding nutrients my ph is good, but my ppm is too low “58” to be exact. I know if I add more nutrients my ph will go up again.
How do I go about raising my ppm?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions. :sunglasses:

Add the amount of nutrients you need to get your ppm where you want it and then ph up or down from there.
That should do the trick.

You can raise the PPM by adding more nutrients. Be sure to follow the manufacturer instructions for your nutrient schedule. Most manufacturers have a ppm/TDS amount per feeding.

For example, I have a product that says 1/4 tsp in 1 gallon of water, the PPM should read 200PPM. This also depends on what stage of life your plant is in. Farther details would help us help you.

I am using foxfarm for hydroponics, for 1 week old seedlings.
Manufacturers instructions say:
PPM : 490 -630
BIG BLOOM 2 tsp I used1 tsp
GROW BIG 1 tsp I used 1/2 tsp.

This is DWC.
Thank you

Thank you I didn’t know if I did that if my ph would just keep raising my ph and by me lowering it my ppm would stay low.

@Newbrn your PPM and PH are two separate measurements.
After adding all nutrients, be sure you’re checking PH. Hydro you want it to be 5.6-5.8 ph
Happy growing.
