Not so much to my eye.
I see fried leaves and progressing K issues and possible Mg uptake issues.
nice big buds but Definately room for improvement.
if you’ve got a crappy meter @Deusracing you can’t really know for sure what you’re feeding at.
it also depends what PPM factor you’re working with whether it’s .5 or .7 calibration etc.

i think he uses EC not ppm

He said it doesn’t read EC2.0 but it’s 2013. So could be CF etc but by his own admission it’s a crappy meter.

yeah, EC = 2.013

Personally I think anyone who runs nutes at Ec2.0 must have money to burn and plants to spare lol.
my own nutrients recommend EC 2.2 and there’s just no way I would run any plants at that strength.

i'm with you on that. i run at 0.8 and 0.2 of that is well water. 2 would melt my leaves.

Yeah I’m a water 0.2 and nutes max inc water 1.6 and that’s with a monster bush lol.

Here is mine. It’s more than I thought.
25L of 0.2EC water.
15ml CaMg 0.2 increase
70ml Dutch pro A
70ml Dutch Pro B
3 good squirts of pH down mixture
6.0pH
Ec1.0

My ph is usually between 5.8-6.0 if it lands between them i wont adjust any more

so i missed your original question.
the answer is no, do not follow any guides. use your EC/ppmm meter to tell you how to feed your plants.
did you say what style of hydro grow you are doing?
i do drain to waste in waterfarms (stand alone rdwc buckets) . so i feed once a day at 0.6 net EC (total minus water). there are not many plants that can eat 0.6 in a day.

Im in coco i watering every day also

Every so often I check my runoff to make sure it hasn’t spiked high.
Anything over 0.4 increase, I reduce my input feed depending on plants growth etc.
If I find a big spike in runoff EC then it can mean you’ve got build up happening or too much of the Ca being bonded and too much K coming back.
In these Times I like to feed a heavy CaMg solution around 1EC.
which helps to alleviate the binding of the Ca by supplying the coco more than it can bind (similar to charging the coco with Ca and Mg).

seen this loads of times.
I put it down to a weak node.
gives the appearance of being N Tox without any other symptoms.
its deffo the claw but in coco I’ve seen it happen due to strain, pheno etc.
one of my weaker nodes on my G13 I think it is has it.
I believe it’s just one of those things that happens. It’s not over watering as it’s localised to one area, it’s not under watering because it’s localised to one area. It’s not N Tox because it’s localised to one area, it’s not high humidity because it’s localised to one area.
See how that goes lol.
