inflow ec 1250ppm run off 1240ppm.

is this okay? it would be relieving if it was 100ppm lower but this appears its not taking any nutes or just a little. any advice anyone? all i can find everywhere is that it should be within 300 points but why is it percise? just coincedence? -disregard this it has been answered. i missed a critical detail when researching tutorials that fellow members below helped me figure out. they arent eating nutes, water too salty. by a long shot. mathmatical error that flew over my head while retaining everything else from tutorial. didnt notice the two EC scales and 500ppm scale and 700ppm scale are different measurements when setting up EC meter.

What do the plants look like?

what are some natural ways after mixing nutes to raise EC, meant to add that as well. starting water is fairly low 250 -disregard this it has been answered

Your EC is already at 2.5
The last thing you need to be considering is raising your EC!

i posted a thread showing pretty much all of them but right now this is about my two veg plants that i was steady feeding 1250ppm for about a week and they look great in my opinion and dont want to deprive them if theyre doing ok unless yall see otherwise im new to growing and coco espesially 5050 hydro

the seedlings get 400 to 420ppm (lol) and i dont measure all if them im in a hurry to get a better draining routine going on but pots too big for my drainaway tray so i got the right size on the way so i can have time and patients to measure each one but from what i remember the seedlings are about the same drinking like 20 to 50ppm i think so i quick measuring for now, will tomorrow while its weekend and shopping for veg tent so they can start to get lower RH% from what i read even tho i should check out this VPD chart and guidelines but i think the high RH from cramped space full of wet pots are causing swole leaves until the AC kicks on and lowers it.

I never check runoff. I only worry about what goes in. As long as the plants are healthy that's all that matters.

That second plant is showing some crispiness on the leaves. 1250 ppm seems a little high for plants that small. I never go that high even in flower.

i just made solution thats 1100ppm i can just leave it and ph it and use it? i was following this chart here -disregard this it has been answered

they were planted almost six weeks ago

and its been getting hot in there with no circulation which im trying to get something asap but a bigger tent might run cooler for them when i get it and they will be in a cooler space. whem ac is off it gets 84 to 86F in the tent which i get the ac on to lower to below 82 but sometimes i cant its been too expensive lately for now

to explain possibly why the one has cupped leaves

You need a fan, air movement is critical

84-86f temps are fine

I rarely feed over 6-700ppm in Coco...if you're feeding that high in soil, something is wrong.

Still high.
These are at 550ppm/1.1EC in coco.

its 40%perlite only because the smaller you go from 7gal on this chart u put less perlite for more root space but is said to be near impossible to over water and is wet all the time and feed dailer so nutes are always being flushed out and since i did this, i may have a weak led 130w but its shown explosive growth, faster than ive ever seen a plant grow with just feedings and i thought that was the point of hydro is to give it max nutes without burning or orverwatering. wouldnt there be nute burn if it was over fed or would i het the same results lowering it to 700ppm or is ur medium a different ratio of perlite? my midium doesnt seem to retain alot of nutes, can easily be flushed so i could change it . may i ask why that chart has the ec so high? will it affect yield to lower it? -disregard this it has been answered

 

[medidedicated]

it would be so much easier to follow these suggestions bc i dont know how to raise it without giving it salts it doesnt need like flora bloom which is for flower and if i dont have to it would save time to figure out something else tho i was considering epsom salt but maybe dont need it. does it help using distilled water and calmag/flora tirio with less bloom so that all the plants get is what they need or is tap water fine? -disregard this it has been answered

Look at that chart you posted again. The chart maxes out at 650ppm. Their EC # is missing a decimal.

there is at least an exaust and two intake but nothing else and was going to buy a tent and couple fans for each its been bothering me but i posted a thread on this to ask pc fans over mini osc fans because the mini osc fans i read way to many fire incidences but know alot of people have them with no issues but i want 5 of them total and was going to have that figured out asap but limited what i can get monthly but having the bottom and canopy area figured out within a week for mold threat and stem strength

You're feeding high EC and they are hardly eating it. I'd do like others have said and cut your EC by half and I bet you'll quickly see an increase in growth and the amount of food they are taking. Feed to plenty of runoff to clear out all the extra salts.
