chances are 1 number specifically isnt the prob. over the course of a week in the res an improperly balanced product will rise in certain chemicals ppm and depleat in others. then you get the probs. once the actual plant has an imbalance or burn it is much harder to correct and time is lost. thats why going milder on the nutes is always safest. if you notice 1 particular def in your plants or an abundance of a particular element then nutes must be adjusted accodingly. If you mix to specifications all quality products your outcome should be what you want.

I'm not sure if one will burn more than the other or if it's just overall ppm. I do know for sure that N or at least certain types of N will burn them bad. I'm sure that is mostly the chemical types. A friend of mine did it when he put ammonium nitrate (or at least to much) on his plant when it was in flower. But I don't know if flowering had anything to do with it. It was his best looking plant too.

whats a good ppm level to stay at for the rest of the grow?

EDIT: im at around 1600 at the moment

I'm still playing with that myself. And different strains can be different. I do know that 2400 is to high for 2 of my girls. Check out the AN nute calculator. Theirs has what the ppm should be. They have it for light, medium and heavy feeding. Check out the different ones. I'm going to study them more later.

the N on the bottle strickly stands for nitrogen. a mj plant can handle extreme amounts of nitrogen if introduced slowly in veg stage. chances are if you get nitrogen burn then your other nutrients are also much to high. because of mj ability to use nitrogen. therefore before your plants showed signs of nitrogen burn they were already suffering from high amounts of other nutes not visible on the plant with the human eye. The best thing you can do if you want massive buds is get your plants used to heavy doses and change the res often. changing the res will ensure that the nutes dont become improperly balanced over the course of a week. change res every 3 days and you will get back what you paid for the nutes.

2400 wow.... i can prob step this up from 1500 to 1800 before i chop them ... ive been reading around on the blueberry strain and its said to be really sensitive. I went to the cook store and they had a 2 different cannabibles there. The one did have the blueberry strain in there and said how it was derived. Its a cross of several different plants that DJ short had done. Very interesting stuff. Im going to go look for a blueberry bible.

Hey dude, I am a major fan of all types of music. I love rock n roll, classic rock, hard rock, heavy metal, the oldies, the blues, jazz, crunchy, rap, hip hop, and whatever else. Ill listen to anything. I have heard nearly every song out there at one time or another but this one I hadn't. Although i would not put it on my everyday play list it was good to know that it existed.

I know what you mean 1982. A ppm reading just gives you a total amount, and only what will conduct electricity. After mixing your nutes you don't know what is being taken up by the plant. And the only way to know for sure would be to change often. I would love to have a meter that would tell me what was the breakdown of N-P-K at least. Never mind all the micronutes that they need.

I bet there will be one on the market someday. It will be right with our favorite ppm and ph meters are now. I was thinking the same thing a min ago.

Ya, the 2400 was before I got the meter and went by the GH chart and added some Cha Ching from Foxfarm. But no more than recommend. But everything was great until flowering and flower nutes. That's why I say watch out how you mix.

they sell them. theyre expensive. i dont know what they test for but all the basic nutes for sure separately. they have them at the hydro store here. maybe worth it now that i think about it.
