So I been feeding about 600 ppm 2 x a day in coco. Buds were slow growing. I increase the ppm to 800 2 x a day the past week and I'm Seeing much better bud growth. Should I try 900 or a 1000 ppm see if she handles it or not?
 
I personally only check PPM and EC in the event of a problem I cannot otherwise solve. The genius of coco, you create your formula & you just repeat it, to runoff, and everything should run smoother and for longer than a Ford Taurus. There shouldn't be a need to constantly check it, unless you haven't perfected your mix. Hell, I don't even check my pH daily either again unless some problem pops up. I know that x ml of x products per gallon of my tap water is a specific PPM/EC and pH.

PPM/EC is a good baseline reference but its not something you should always follow. Different environments and plant sizes, grow medium etc will all change how much PPM you feed. I would use the plants as your guide in how much to feed or how little to feed and feed.

If you feed by volume (e.g ml/gal or grams/gal etc) then you won't need a meter or any fancy electronics, Just some pH Drops to keep your pH in the desired range based on whatever your growing in coco/soil/soilless etc..

A fun example is I used MaxiGro instead of MaxiBloom in VEG and the amount of Nitrogen in it burned my clones but I actually viewed it as a deficiency, later found out I needed to use WAY less.

Thats what i have done with my res, and put on my chart how many ml of ph down i need to add to the mix at the end to get it to the right ph i check that once after its sat for a bit before i feed then dont check anything untill next res mix

depends where your taking measurements from as going from the feed bottles will leave u with a very high ec... always best to start with a meter i would say then once u na whats what u can put the meters down
