Do you know your runoff PPM?

Honestly no, i bought the blue stick/ yellow stick combo so I’m guessing i use the blue one for that?

Have no idea what that might be.

Most of us use something like this.

Yes aj yellow is the cheap pH meter and blue is your ec TDS metre

:point_up_2: what is the PIP? As @MidwestGuy asked on the run off numbers. Soil and Coco mix can be difficult to find a PH sweet spot as well :love_you_gesture:

OK so i just collect runoff water and use that to test it? I just watered yesterday so i figured watering again after about a day and a half to 2 days. How is that?


This iswhat i was referencing with the yellow stick/ blue stick combo, I’m not at home and couldn’t remember what they were called lol

Cool. Learn to use those. They are a grow’s best friends.

I’ve used the ph meter fairly often but i honestly haven’t used the tds meter

@AJisabeast3 You definitely want to use both of those. You should always use the ph meter to use for water (6.5ph) assuming you’re growing in soil
And as far as the tds meter you should check the water run off when you water and see what the ppm reads. If it is below 1,000 I would recommend feeding. That is just what I have learned so far. But would definitely help if these experienced growers would verify that. @MidwestGuy

Gotcha. I used the Pot 4 Pot on my 1st grow and it turned out well. The medium and n that kit is more like the FF coco loco as in a blend of soil and coco and loaded with beneficial microbes and nutrients to last the plant roughly 5–6 weeks with PH water only. They claim seed to harvest but I found my PPMS dropped to around 800 around week 6 and I like them around 1000 in veg and 1000-11000 in flower. I also found the optimum PH to be around 6.2. Best approach at the moment is to water to run off 20% at 6.2 and test the PPMS and PH and adjust for your next feeding :love_you_gesture:

:point_up_2: critical piece of equipment.

What nutes should i order? Preferably cost efficient cause in not rolling in dough lol.

Jack’s 321 is highly recommended her I personally use Canna as I’m growing in coco

OK, will order today. Thanks!!!
