What EC would you be giving now?

3 plants are getting fuller now. Tent is 4x4x6. Mid flower it seems to me. What EC would you recommend?

 

[bam0813]

look good to me. What are you giving now and why change?

 

[bigunyun]

Last grow I screwed up and underestimated how much food they need when they get big so I was just curious what others do. All I’ve given these girls is 10-30-20 at 485 until the last week or two and then I bumped it up to 830.

Thing is im not sure someone can give an ec ? Wouldn’t that kind of be what the plant is saying? They don’t look underfed to me but im low level. I would keep it the same they look at the verge of burn to me but again novice with salts. Wait for better replies and im guesses more grow info needed

It would depend on the light intensity and few other factors but around 1.2/1.5ec

Do you have a ec meter/truncheon?

 

[bam0813]

Could be lighting or my eyes but look dark

Agreed. Also the last 2 or 3 weeks they eat better with a little lower ec. Flip, transition 2 weeks, then I push hard for like 5 weeks then step down my charge by like ¼ every week to finish.

Then my last 3 or 4 days is just something like sour dee

Again stepping down that ec will let them live off them selves a little, so if they are dark he's fine as long as he drops ec early enough

Ok thanks! I do have a meter but I don’t use it much any more. It sounds like people feed what they think the plant needs, rather than a fixed schedule.

Stepping down EC a little at the end will also help the plants bulk up a bit, because they can uptake more water with a lower EC.

Is that USA units? So 600-750 ppm?

Yes that's the one.
