What's should my ppm be for these girls? I've been keeping it around 450 do I need to do more?

450 is about perfect until you flip them to flower.
This is assuming you dont have hard water. In that case 450 over whatever the ppm is from the tap.
 
Thank you! What should it be in flower? And when do you typically flip them to flower? Mine were bag seeds so I'm not sure 100 percent on what to do. Lol
 
I usually flip them around 4-5 weeks of veg. Others wait until they see sexual maturity and can cull males if the seeds are regular. I would bump up your ppm to around 600 week 4 of veg and around 750-850 ppm for full flowering. I taper off to around 200 ppm at the end of flower. Good luck. They look healthy.
 
Also more bloom and no grow nutrients so the ratios are going to be different. 2 to 1 bloom to micro is the lucas formula and works great for flowering.

I don't know I actually have another post up to see. I think maybe all female but I'm not confident in that I'll post the pictures. Each pic is a different plant.

BTW, they look fantastic for being in hydroton... Not to me then bag seed. Were they rooted in rockwool or a rooting cube or are they just bare roots?
 
Uh oh was I not supposed to use hydroton? Lol and I used rapid rooter plugs! Every seed I put in sprouted! I liked them a lot!
 
Swee thanks so much! It's definitely a learning curve and I'm getting nervous for flower where I can fuck it all up. I'm still trying to figure out how much more time to give them in veg I just hope to get something to harvest at the end lol

Bot at all. Hydroton great. With a rapid rooter even more so since the majority of the roots are growing directly Into the pellets. They work great. Never done DTW much with them though.
 
Dtw seemed too advanced for me when i picking a grow method So I did mine the super cheap way just five gallon buckets, and the air pump but I am feeling like I'm going to run into a problem when it comes to flowering because if I would trellis it I can't change nutes because I didn't use a reservoir or anything I'm doing it all by hand but I like the hydroton so much in it because I can see everything and I'm so impatient so literally being able to see the froth happen has been amazing!
