Raising PPM won’t make the plant eat More though. If it’s not deficient it doesn’t really need a bump in PPM


I’d agree with bumping to find the edge. But I’ve found out regardless of the amount of ppm you put in if it’s not too much the plant will only eat X amount of PPM daily as needed so I guess the higher you take the. Ppm the longer you can go without adding nutes as long as you haven’t bottomed out. But if you’re not showing deficiencies the only reason to bump ppm would be to not have to add nutes as often. The plant won’t eat more just because there’s more PPM. It’s still going to eat what it needs no more no less. So ramping PPMs only solves deficiency and the frequency in which you add more nutes to your reservoir.

Exactly!

I just need a tote and collars right? I have the pump and all .see they have 2 inch collars on amazon cheap . Trying to pull a couple clones off the 3 I have going now .

I use the foam tiles for kiddy play rooms I cut a cicle and slit from edge to center and then make make a hole in the middle for the stem. Works well as an collar. You want me to snap some pics?

My plant and the ppm mixed with ph tells me what I need to do . If she ate all that I add more . If she’s got a def I add more of what she needs .

I know what your talking about . Do you dome your clones?

Exactly!

I’m beginning to understand the DWC more and more I’m really excited about it because I just needed to get comfortable with it before making the switch.

I see it like this though. PPM Is like a gas tank the higher the PPM the bigger the gas tank. Your plants only going to use a certain amount of gas as it needs it doesn’t matter the size of the gas tank as long as it’s not too small it’s all good. Too big and you’ll see burn. Now the contents in the gas tank need to be at certain mixtures for different growth periods.(clone,veg, bloom) so on and so forth. But as long as that gas tank isn’t not too small or too big and the mixture should right all will be well.

@3rd Monkey @iceman2494

Would you guys concur here? I feel like my understanding is on for it.

Nah I’ve never found a need to. Probably wouldn’t hurt but I’ve never done it. I seriously set and forget it. I don’t even PH sit. Which again I probably should I just haven’t.

Sounds like you know what you’re talking abojt and I don’t.

I’m giving bad advice. Sorry iceman

 

[iceman2494]

In a similar sense yea . It’s like a pie I sit out and it eats a slice a day . My ph will start getting funky when she’s hungry . I’ll check my water lvl and make a choice if I add more nutes based on my ppm and water lvl . You’ll get your own hang of it and realize what you need .

Think I’m too neurotic for DWC but hell im excited to try again. Running this pump on full blast for a damn two shot tiny cloner. Not worth the watts it’s using.

No your good man . It’s not me raising my ppm to make it grow faster it’s keepikg my ppm at a lvl to keep her happy . Same thing as you in soil . I keep ph in range and let her do her thing .

It honestly just clicked for me after reading your post!! I was on the same page as you but idk something happened and my lightbulb just went off based on my numbers from my log and icemans responses. With soil you can ramp PPM because the nutrients aren’t immediately available to the plant. The microbes break the nutes down so for the plant to Be able To use them. As where hydro the nutrients are immediately available for consumption as needed by the plant if that makes sense.

How ? I think if you want to be in control you’d want to do the dwc .

See . Ppm and ph tells you the story . Plant shows you the picture

Makes sense.

Agreed. Pretty cool. You may have another convert.

Well it’s working lol.

Credit goes to 3m . He put it the same way to me . Once you get it down. You’ll say fuck the other shit ... endless it’s out doors .

It’s a game changer honestly. I can normally make solid decisions admitting long as I know why I’m doing what I’m doing. If I understand why I normally can put 2 and 2 together from there

 

[iceman2494]

Oh yea if you don’t already have . Get a spare 5 gal bucket . Uses are endless .
