    EC, PPM???

    Please explain...everything I have read says to include what is in tap. For example, if I need to have 1000 ppm in my solution and my water is 220ppm at tap, I add 780 ppm nutes.

    EC, PPM???

    I am learning, maybe a few grows and I will be giving people advice on the forums here haha. If I can get my meter to work with EC i'll do that. Otherwise its going to be ppm for me. Question, when you say .2-.6 EC on seedlings does that include the EC of the plain water. My water is 220 ppm...

    EC, PPM???

    ya I only have 2 sets of leaves. I wish I could send some pics to show you what I've got. So after I have 5-7 sets of leaves I can fertilize at regular strength, but up until then only about 1/4?

    EC, PPM???

    Ya they're leave are a little yellow and curled over a bit. Right now I have 580 ppm. At what stage do you consider a seedling to be in the beginning stage of veg growth? Mine were doing just fine, but they got some heat stress, then my heater went out so they got cold (about a week ago) and...

    EC, PPM???

    It seems to me PPM gives a more accurate measurement as the PPM will fluctuate with nutrient uptake. Does EC fluctuate as well with nutrient uptake?

    Light spacing

    I have a platinum led grow light 450 model. It is an 11 x 19 inch light. I am going to be starting from seed and was wondering what height I should be placing my light during seedling growth and veg/flower. I will be lighting up a 3 x3 tray with probably 4 plants in it.

    New to hydro need help with flood & drain

    thanks for the great info. I am still not sure about lighting. I understand that when my plant is ending the seedling/entering veg growth I want to have my lights going regularly in terms of time intervals and distance from plant, but what about the lighting while a seedling? Should I water my...
